Pearls are born in turmoil
within oysters—so is love.

Though you’re but a
single drop of rain,
Your presence ripples
through the world—
You rise with the mist,
form clouds above
darkness and carve
rivers below hope,
stir oceans and tides,
sculpt glaciers and
awaken springs,
nourish lakes and
swell the seas.

You are part
   of something vast—
  alone, yet whole.

Love reveals our
bare selves—like
the full moon, clear
and veritable.

The sky convulses,
a star plummets, plunges
into the earth, and is gobbled
up by the soil— leaving
no signs of vitality
or decay.

The scars on her body seem
to leech the dopamine from
her veins― She felt that pain
is the residue of joy.

An infantile urge to
stretch a bedsheet
and pull to reach a
toy just out of grasp
—a manifestation
of adult anxiety.

You don't know
where the kite goes.
You just have to
let it ride.

Breath finds its
way to the ribs.
How do we draw
love near?

Sometimes, it feels like
words have become
extinct dinosaurs,
Like the earth has
already sunk them
deep.

A mother's womb,
Like a ripe field,
yields fruit.

- a newborn.

I yearn for a lotus leaf
drifting and merging
with waters that gently
flow into a sacred grove,
where paths route
to heaven.

Her wounds were stitched
with threads of patience,
And from the hurt,
a moon emerged,
A glowing orb of light.

If I were a bird, I'd have flown
To your grave each day
Sharing grains of life.

She's under
Cinderella's
spellbound night.
The reality will
seep in soon.

I survived your Judas kiss.
It was a bee sting, a torrent of pain.
You shoved me off like a lovable pet,
unleashed in a squall.

I began to feed both hearts,
(the red of the body) and the,
(white of the soul),
like disconnected twins,
in the depths of faith,
hoping to find light at the,
end of the dopamine surge.

In a womb of time, we grow,
and heal,
where blood filled vessels
provide foresight into what's,
destined for us.

An angel who holds a glaring lantern
For me, in the tunnel, before I see the light at the end.
She's my mother;
  Nature couldn't replace her aura.
