My sweet darling
cover yourself with layers whenever you are cold
shrink in size
let the wind carry you
from garden to garden
taste the lovely fruits
talk to the lonely leaves
not for too long
float on
make sure no one notices you
taste here and there
talk to them
not too much!
Where have you gone?
Float on,
not too far!
let yourself be carried,
not too much.

...

It is soundless.
Is this how it was
Before You spoke?
Lent is the practice of sacrifice (going without) and remembrance. This year, I am giving up chocolate and will try to write a poem in my new “Lent Collection” each day. Enjoy!

I tend
to make things
much more complicated
than they need to be.
Until I’ve gotten myself
stuck in a web
that has no spider.

They say time heals all wounds
Why do mine seem deeper than ever?
Why do I long for her?
I don't think I want her back
I've just been engulfed by nostalgia
I'm trapped, unable to move on
Why God?
Why me?
Please...
Please free me.

Two souls journey into eternal love
One guides the other
Bonded through lifetimes
Unbounded by time

in the background
chattering updates

a wolf howling
listening out for answers

deep in the marrow
unseen forces

someone pressed enter
all forever changelings

the wolves
stick to the same language.
I held you close to my heart
While you kept me deep
Within your teeth
Just a small piece about reciprocity.

The copper bells glisten
Swaying in the sunshine
I pause as I listen
To the tinkling
Of the wind chimes

In the distance, they ring
A gentle melody -
I hear their songs
The unsaid words they sing

How sweet is their music
Sweet the joy they bring
Such is the wonder -
The magic of little things

straining my eyes
sitting on the suitcase that is my brain trying to zip it up
pain medication
micro naps when i blink for too long
persistence
hatred
boredom
overload
