An upper floor apartment, a square
where I am safe, not to be robbed
from anything, with internet
and a sofa bed

it is the way of life

of my friends-of:
come, don’t do anything stupid
then you will be fine again
the storm will rage out

while you are in our square

Maybe I'll find a way
for myself, an area outside
where I find satisfaction
and yes, what you say

a calm inside

Thank you for your hard work and everything that you have done for us.
Here is a poem that I wrote to show that we appreciate everything that you are doing and would have it no other way.
Stay safe and fight hard.
Have it No Other Way
I feel safe
Knowing you are protecting us
I would have it no other way,
Than the service men and women
That stands together to protect us
I would have it no other way.
I give thanks to you
And
May god bless you for your hard work
I would have it no other way.
We appreciate everything that you have done
Now return home to us
Soon

No nay is tibetan for really.
I wish to leave this place,
If only in mind,
The same way I save my self,
The same way I decline.
I avoid the ocean,
The waves may crush these bones-
I stay safe upon the shore.

Although I may have loved to swim,

At the beach,
My feet,

Remain in the snow.

Shine against cool winter’s skin
Breath in place of crackling voice
The room has been awoken with footsteps
Behind a veil of black the eyes are left hushed
She felt him, electricity buzzed
Silently
The motions felt swift, though lingered on cress
Little glimpses, flashforwards to each motion
Sparks
Electric candlelight burns at edge
The eye of the hurricane ascended
Lifted
She felt him, his hands like silk
His touch greeted her, she fell
Into the skeleton of the room
Confined to their space of absolute
Stars outlined edges, moments left to soak
She could see without sight
Each spin of the record
Each hum of the base
Comforted by quilt, entangled in skin

I don't mean to use you as a safety net
because the truth is you deserve someone who feels the bed sheets beside them when you're not around as more than just another empty space
but I've spent so much time falling into the arms of danger
I only knew how to love and let it destroy me
and never how to disassociate the two
so I let the idea of love die without a euology
and I sought comfort instead

I whispered
“I love you”
And he smiled,
(The kind of smile
That drives me
To drive miles and miles
Just to see.
The kind of smile
That could drive me wild)
“I love you too”
