Take me away with you, love.
Take me to the promised Land.
To the place where I'm safe in your arms.
Because I don't want to be anywhere else.
Because that is the only place where I belong.
Finally.
After all these breaths, all these hushed whispers,
You and me by the sea.
We can either drown or ride these waves.
What's your decision,love?
For I don't mind dying if I die in you.
My heart aches too.

Autumn falling snow
Sees melted snow as her tears
Thus hope winter lasts
Don't be sad Autumn bc everything's alright

A lesson for her
in humility
when for so long she flew so high
unscathed/untouched
she had never questioned why
wealth, and security
had always been nearby
until
she was forced to work for others
perhaps less fortunate than her
sweeping floors
she was scrubbing doors...
with tired feet
she kept things neat...
the only thing she wanted more
was to crawl in bed, and sleep.

Home is full of secrets.
The first laugh and all the laughs in between the last of a baby muffled itself into the bedroom walls. His mother sometimes sit in front of it, hoping, hoping it could live in her ears again.

The nervous movement of lip to lip, neck to neck, heart to heart in the wardrobe, in between jeans and cotton button-downs.
Getting dressed is still achingly difficult. And it is getting truly ridiculous now.

Those holding-too-tight-yet, you-are- still- not- close- enough sort of hugs under tired doorways.
You were enough, you are always enough.

Within swelled up throats, the unsaid words hid themselves in odd drawers, cabinets and a handful of knooks & crannies.
I opened a drawer today and I very nearly cried.

For I heard your voice, your breaths, then brushed again with the warmth and coldness of your wrists. All of which were in different dimensions of time and memories.

And I try and am still trying to keep my pen on the page. For, its to keep you alive, again.
A few words has already slipped and tip-toed off the page.
I'll find it someday.
(Putting something far, far, far off the horizon eyes can possibly see is the sort of thing, humans are terribly good at.)
Hello there lovely!
Hope you are well.
If you're feeling a little blue, here's a hug.

P.S It has already been 1 whole year since I joined this place. :")
I cannot quite believe it.
Eeeeek.
How about you, you and you? How long have you been here?

Photographs sure carry a weight, don't they? The black and white and sepia tones speak with a voice that has known sorrow.

They tell the story of fifteen minutes between small talk and bad news.
      Of a motorcycle, a truck, and a bottle.

They inform wary viewers of a Saturday funeral.
       Only six sunsets after a Saturday marriage.

They advise a newlywed widow to let go, to open her heart to love once more.
        Although they know she can now only live in fifteen minute increments.

"But maybe," they say, "she will never take 900 seconds for granted again."
This evening, my grandpa and I were looking through old pictures. One was of his friend Rodney and Rodney's girl, Karen. My grandpa attended their wedding on a Saturday. The next Saturday, he was at Rodney's funeral.

Anchored to the ground,
But I feel weightless,
An existential phenomenon
With the strength of Atlas
Yet it is transparent,
No tangible emotions,
No words that can bring
Into understanding the power
Beneath our feet.

— The End —
