It is just that it is not -
How we usually say goodbye

Not a smile nor a soul-felt hug
In silence we both took our sighs

It is enough that you aren't near
It is saddening to not look into your eyes

It is heartbreaking to ache alone -
When we could be aching side by side

I could listen to your heartbeats
Whilst I inhale your every breath

But I'm left to listen to the drops -
Of my tears rolling down instead

It is unfair that you take away from me -
Your sadness that we've vowed to share

I always believed we felt not only for the joy
But also for each other's sorrows we’d care
Sincerely, Em

I am a sand clock in this passing life;
With every fallen sand grain is a drop of my heart beat

My breaths cease with yours as your grain passes through my hourglass

Yes, we are made of dust ..
And your grains of sand make me whole ..
A galactic dusty soul I am ..  carrying a universe that in a way is finitely endless

We fight as we unawarely head towards that narrow neck of a death bed
Grain, we seep through and fall onto the deathly base of the hourglass
It's where time sits still, frozen, looking up onto other falling sand grains in the repetition movements of hatred, anger and destruct

And my soul fails to stay awake as my organs of dust fall away ...

A breath of me dies with you
A blink of my sight grows weaker
A tear from eyes drops heavily into a mud puddle of my endless cries ..

As each one of you fades .. so do I
In light of the recent increasing rates of violent acts, my heart goes out to the precious souls that have left us.

Sometimes ..

I call out your name in the silence
I just want to hear your letters lingering through -
The spaces of echo on my tongue

Through the rivers of blood
Viens of black .. Strings of sound
Through the drumming of my heart
From the expanded depths of my lungs

And it is never about the silence all around me .. Never about my room being pitch black
It is not about the thoughts of missing you .. Neither is it about the thoughts of wanting you back

It's just that sometimes ..

I utter your letters just so I could feel the screeching ugliness seeping through the spaces of echo on my tongue ..

It's how I pinch myself into reality ..

Yes, I'm awake.

My emotional compass is losing its gravitational pull ...

At times the direction dies still. At other times, it spins madly. 
I feel like I'm being crushed between two walls and drowned within thunder-clapping waves. Yet, on the surface of my ocean, the glass waters reflect a serene, tranquil light of the full moon hugging its night sky.   

I'm uncertain. I’m indecisive. I run away to the farthest, darkest corner of the forest. I also flee to the highest peaks and hide under sunlight. 

I'm not fearful of destruction. I'm fearful of being destructive. I tend to destruct myself by destructing the souls I cherish most. Nightmares of finding myself in abandoned emptiness haunt me. I fear being left, so I walk away. I fear being loved deeply, so I push them away. And this ... this is where I become destructive. 

I say I’m seeking peaceful stability, when truthfully...? My soul is gushing across the ends of the earth all at once. Maybe I find peace in the chaos. Maybe I just feed on chaos. 

I throw my soul into the deepest wells of love. I find myself abruptly climbing back to the surface, clawing my way up those walls. And just as I nearly reach the top, I intentionally let go of myself only to fall back in. The record breaks on replay. 

I gather myself, set the records straight then let them role into chaos once more. Once More replays itself endlessly through the space and time of my existence, and my life turns into a repetition of these "once more" chaotic events. Secret be told, I think I enjoy all of this. All so exciting and lively at that moment. Alas, dreadful at points of reality checks. Lifeless at the destination. 

So…? I gather myself and set the records straight again ...  once more ... once more, again ... and again ... 

Helpless. But wild. 
Wild. But easily tamed. 
Tamed. But cannot be owned. 

Gently handle my being. I'm too stubborn ... Even with my own self. Yet, I also feel ever so delicate and fragile. I can easily break at my own grip.

I’ll tell you how … 

It's all in the simplicities - which can also turn into complexities - found in the sun’s golden hour. Yellow rays against my skin. Illuminated dust particles dancing through my fingers. A warm whisper. That bold dive. Grab me by the extremes. 

Right now .. I think I’m coming up with a case of the blues. 
So, come … Dip me not in the rainbow, but in the *** of gold at the far end. 

Take me all the way ... The noise, it enchants me. 

Be still my heart, it’s him … Chaos.
A page of thoughts and confessions ripped out of my diary.

I loved you as I gazed into the deep blue that fell onto the far off mountains of little islands with white shores

I loved you as I gazed into crystal waters .. And as vast as the seas would extend, I knew they would find you, they would reach you on the other end

I threw a rock into the ocean .. I blew wishes across the sea .. And with that one roaring wave, I knew, you've sent your love back to me

I loved you as I gazed into the reflections of blue sunny skies bestowing light upon blue droplets in oceanic waters that belonged to the vast, deep love I held for you

As I turned away, I heard the waters calling .. You were reaching into the distance of my soul .. I was tripping, stumbling and falling into the depths your caves behold

So, I promised myself to always remember ..

The far off mountains within crystal waters in which the rock I threw ..
The roaring wave to the wishes I've made across the shinning of blue ..
The longing calls gushing through echoing caves that have brought me to -
That time when I gazed across and beyond the blue waters ..

*Once, when I loved you

A rusted soul
Dissolving into dust
Seeping into the seabed
Washed away from shore

The lands no longer want me
The winds cannot sustain me no more

I'm sinking below right now
But in this drowning I will soar

I feel the golden cage within my heart -
Has set its butterflies loose
My mind has waved the flag
And my heart called it a truce

With every word you utter
My pulse starts raging on
Your voice comes to sooth me
As hidden kisses rise upon -

Skin of lips and hushed whispers
And I keep wanting more -
Of those numbing, love blisters -
Adorned across my collarbone

Of what do I feel, you ask?
Light-headed and a drowsy sight
Like the Earth spinning five beats faster
Twirling me into your arms ever so tight
Because we all got to write a sappy love poem at one point or another ..

Sincerely, Em
