I swear that I heard you
just a second ago.
I saw the ocean in my dream.
but not my ocean.
I dreamt that i did something terrible.
I hurt you.
something something something
into nothing.
I had bought a compass.
I wanted to learn how to use it in the wilderness.
but maybe deep down
I just wanted to learn
how to find my way to you.
my skin disappears
revealing my black blood
and it hurts so much.
I'm trapped.
I'm burning.

Yantary night falls
On Earth ~Soil~ Golden from slumber~
Wakes up ancient stars

asking the gods of poetry to rip out your heart
let you experience the deepest dark
and the patience to wait a Sun to rise
We see but we don’t feel
Apathy
We hear but we don’t speak
Injustices
We allow the innocent to be Consumed
While we give praise to the wicked
A blind eye turned
A ravens feast
Laid bare the pickings-
Thus, the glass house shatters from within
Its columns of shame is
All that remains…
…we the people
A charm it is for sure
as I struggled to find you
It took over 20 long years
and my thirst for you
will never waiver
A charm you are
in the twilight of my life
Hard to resist yet easy
to define your meaning to me
Ever grateful I will be to you
for your guidance, trust
and peace.
