The sweetest sounds I’ve ever heard,
no one would hear a peep

The sweetest sleep,
no one hears the breath

Ones heart thaws

When one can’t have the sweetest touch
alone
Jasmine Reid Nov 2020
I’m finding peace
In your silence

I’m finding peace
In your rage

I’m finding peace
In your absence

I’m finding peace
In being silent

I’m finding peace
In my anger

I’m finding peace
In my solitude
I’m getting used to being alone again
A storm of wind and rain
Blows through my veins

This gale carries me
Where it will
And ever I feel drawn
To the mother
Of all things

I have set my sails
With only a tempest
To guide me
Heeding only
The call of the wilds

I once thought, death do us part
     but it did not, my love
     you are immortal, deep within me
     watching me through the eyes  
      of the sculptures we cast together.

      I will never forget the morning
      you lay still and cold beside me
      arms that once hugged, hanging
      lifelessly by your side, eyes shut,
      lips closed to beautiful words
      you conjured effortlessly
      lips and eyes of endless love
      for the world around you
      you were love and love you shall remain.

And yet
the carbon
that could've been
stars
instead made
you
verus Nov 2020
birds birds birds—
birds left untitled,
untitled flight and traveler
moribund and morbid
fleetingly silent,
through the skies unwanted.
trying to break out
from monotonie.
Jasmine Reid Nov 2020
Cigarettes and coffee,
like wine and cheese.

Perfect for the occasion,
and the times it will bring
Jasmine Reid Nov 2020
I will conquer
Like tears on a sow
