Khadija Mansaray May 2015
You never understand
how heavy
emptiness is
until you feel it
crushing the room
where sunbeams
normally dance.
She keeps my soul alive,
I'm content with just the conversations.
Intelligent beauty,
everyday I travel to her imagination.
She gave me her Skeleton key.
I can explore any place in her mind.
Trusting each other with the secrets and fascinations of our lives.

null
I have a poets soul,
I am willing to bleed my heart out
Onto blank paper
But the prospect
Of speaking my mind
Leaves me shaking.

This soul
Is thousands of years old,
I have lived a lifetime after lifetime
And have died a hundred times over
Yet the thought of the grave
Shakes me, inside and out.
