I see your smile
and I wonder if heaven
has opened for me

18/3/23
As the sunlight makes it way
Around the window shades
I tell myself it’s just a dream
And I can’t let it haunt me.

I have to be the one you see
To prove I’m not that nightmare
That echos in my deepest mind
And poisons yet another day.

All too often it's hard when I wake up, to shake the me I see in dreams.
i watched the ocean
a remnant of light burning my nape
as i decide to look towards the inky sea
everything shrouded in darkness
yet still, i take it all in
feel the sand beneath my toes
smell the salt in the ocean breeze
and i shiver as frigid waters touch my skin

the waves
pull me in
like a warm embrace

they take me places ive never dreamed of
whispers in my ears

sloshing in my head
swishing in my head
my brain swimming in seawater
turning into seafoam.
midnight dark
is my true love’s kiss
of clove and citrus scented

cradled in the subtle
woven voices
of the conspiratorial night wind

soft as the silver-blue
edges of light
cast from nocturnal lanterns

sharing in silent thunder
secrets held in coffers
of crimson jade

blazing with the vibrance
of constellations
blown before celestial storms

full as skyward Luna
rounded and buxom
heavy with desire

veiling my worldly sight
so her truth can pierce me

blinding me
that I may see
the fire
for me
in your heart
died quietly

tell me,
love

where did it go?
and
why
don’t you know?
