there was a moment in time
when death sat beside me on a park bench
and he had rested his hand on the gap between us

i,

too,

rested my hand there
and brushed my fingers against his

and for a chaste moment
i savoured the warmth of his skin
and intertwined my hand with his

but he stood up

and left

and maybe he knew,

it was for the better.

The best three words.


Souls are black holes, they swallow us whole;
They take control and stay with us when we go.


Hearts are like stars; they carry love far,
Across the Milky Way into another person’s heart.


With my hand in yours, we are always together;
We have the power in our hands, to stay this way forever.


Without someone to love, our eyes are truly left unused.
Beauty never seen;
The best three words, never used.
