You cannot postpone love and death,
They both come without knocking on your door.

Why smoke goes up?

It has no ego!

wrap me
in the warmth
of your sleeping body
let your love
be my blanket
make me a pillow
of kisses & caresses
soothe me
run your deft fingers
through my fallen tresses
let your heart beats
rythym
in sleep
feed
my own breaths
metre to keep

*  *  *  *  

love in stasis
your heart beats
in sleep
an ocean sways
my heart beats
stranded
10699 km away
so
love becomes
pain
a gnawing ache
in the pit of my belly
until
your whispered
breath
grazes my skin
as you utter
my name
in love
again
and
again

  *  *  *  *

I feel your love
with me always

craving to
exalt our love
with my body
on your body
belly to belly
lip to lip
fingers interlaced
into ecstasy
we slip
nourish me
with the fire
in your *****
let your passion
take me higher
and higher
every particle
of life
is pure pain
until
we are
together again
forever joined.

i can't decide if it's better
to embark on a new normal
or to live in a bubble
of dwindling, stolen moments

Red were the roses, the ones I left on your casket,
Orange were the leaves, the ones in your tree,
Yellow were the bruises, the ones that covered you head-to-toe,
Green were the stains, the ones left on the hems of your jeans,
Blue were your lips, the day you were found in your noose,
Indigo was the night sky, that night that you died,
Violet was that bruise, the one you wore around your neck

Within these four walls, time moves slow,
As morning light fades to afternoon glow.
This day the same as every other,
Devoid of certainty, purpose, or a lover.

Weeks and months have traveled briskly by,
As we struggle to separate the truth from a lie.
Now when we venture out, everyone’s a threat.
As millions fall into deeper and deeper debt.

In the end, I must protect you, and you, me
If we want to defeat our shared enemy.
