I just had a talk with death’s closest cousin;
He didn’t speak, but he was kind.

As cold as ice,
Their touch left me
Alone.

Comfortable with invisibility,
I mistook love
For a stranger in my home.

As warm as light,
His company left me
Scared.

Familiar with invisibility,
I mistook love
With something that I feared.

As bright as fire,
The gaze from his eyes left me
Reassured.

Comfortable with closeness,
I now know how true love
Should really feel.
When we are used to being treated neglectfully, we often search for partners that reflect this. We become so comfortable with loneliness that kindness is a foreign and terrifying thing. We can often become doubtful and insecure when someone cares for us the way no one else has. Rather than questioning and pushing this love away, we should embrace the kindness we all deserve.

I thank my God who rests above
for all the blessings and the love,
for loving me enough to do
me a favour by creating you.

He has put you in my path,
and I thank Him for that,
for the kindness I see in your soul,
and your laughs that make me whole.

Your blue eyes and chilly hands,
the tight hugs my soul demands,
your tender smile and warm embrace...
They all set my soul ablaze!

I have seen the stars and the sea,
the butterflies and the willow tree,
and still, my favourite place to be
is the one that has you and me.
Cheers to falling in love again. Who would've thought it would be possible

The dawn of humans unknowingly sparked a debate in sincerity.
While praising dexterity, one may neglect the warmth of a tender heart.

Is it better to ablate the ***** —
do we intend to berate its kindness?

I wish to travel to the beginning of evolution,
when no pollution of such harshness is clear;
that may be our only solution here.

I do not need nor want the kind of love
That is one-sided
I want people
Who give me energy and support me
The way I am
I want people to treat me the same way I treat them
sad about the fact it is so much harder finding new friends as you grow up, in comparison to how it used to be when you were young

Ancient dwelling places, forgotten pathways and neglected graveyards fill me to the brim with an enthusiasm for the mundane. As the fabric of life thins the voices of the celebrated AND the unknown whisper their legacy in the stoney structures which remain.

the people whose stories have survived.’

you have an impressive physical physique
but what of your consciousness
can you say the same
your capacity for tenacity is unparalleled
though your vain attempts at kindness,
feats to astound
a charismatic prowess
a star reacher
rested on the ground
your head's in the clouds
at your own allowance
and there's no coming down
