to new beginnings
she said raising a full glass
because life is short
and too many things end
before they are finished

i am not broken
because
i am not breakable

-k.j.c

every day
i want to feel like the rain
descending
carefully
beautifully
to the earth

-k.j.c

i want love to feel
like i am out of breath

throat burning
heart pounding
chest heavy
lips gasping for air

lungs on the verge of collapsing

-k.j.c

we are all fools
drunk on ideas
of love and money
and living forever
but few remember
that death has no currency
nor mercy on the greedy
-k.j.c

just as flowers grow
to reach the sun
so will i grow
to reach you
-k.j.c

at night we sit on rooftops
watching the stars and holding hands
waiting for the days we will one day be them
all while granting wishes for long lost lovers
and for our lives that are yet to be
-k.j.c
