my eyes are dancing
over the glittering sea
the wind is glancing
the sparkling beach
sand in my eyes
salt in my hair
mountains so high
a whistling in the air
for perfection it strives
and i think
that must be life

staying still too long
you become fair game to a fly
their constant testing to see if you are dead yet
- a comfy nest for their maggots.

the girl sitting next to the door
frequently
tapping her feet on the floor
when you look her in the eyes
she'll hide her face and look away
what would you say if you'd recognize
her body's just made of anxiety

simple act of couples holding hands,  interlocking of fingers, clasping of hands. having both of their hands over their shoulders, moving forward together side by side
it's like an act you've been so familiar with. the act holding your partner's hand and stopping your partner from danger
that moment
the fluttering of your eyes like butterfly wings
hands on waist. face to face. telling sweet nothings to each other
the guy caressing your cheek with care
couples lying side by side in subways. the guy's head on the girl's. (cute af, isn't it?) like as if they'd be together forever, until they grow old. like as if their lives depend on each other.

Do you remember...what it was like to be a kid in summer...
Mornings never started before noon.... Cereal and cartoons in the livin room....
Parents have to work... nobody was there  to watch you.....
trouble was the first thing you'd do...
Cuz if you waited till 2 it got sketchy and you thought they would catch you....    outside every day for as long as the sun would stay.

When
You get fearful of failure

You lose freedom of getting success!

I was drowning and couldn't get up.
He was part of what held me under,
I was part of what held me under.
I pushed him away so far so he could be better with out me.
My toxicity.
I didn't think I deserved his love
And I knew he would be better off.
I ran away into the darkest corners of my mind.
And I'm still here.
But he's not.
He's better.
The Better I knew he could be without me.
What I wanted.
So why am I mad that he's doing Better?
Because We were supposed to be Better together.
But I gave up.
I gave up.

Ntwari Poetry
The way our blazing passions collided was beautiful
Our sparks were caught in an eternal ballad
Each mimicking the ecstatic bursts of the other

But our dance
Turned into a fight

It was a perfect storm
Two scorching typhoons of emotions
Plowing through the paths we once ventured together
Ripping through -and burning -the fields where our souls first touched
Erasing our memories from our hearts

Our fury burned bright
But our ballad remained beautiful
The music of our universes being torn apart whaled
As we both animated our destructions

But somewhere in our scattered souls
Deep inside the ashes of our love
A flame still shine
Enjoy the story

Sat there.
In that moment.
Saying in my love riddled head,
i'm gonna write poetry about this one moment.

But.
Now that I'm here.
Words aren't good enough.

This is for me,
in my love ridden head,
comfortably sat in that special place.
Made specifically for you.
Just sat there.
