A stranger stole my heart
left a mark I can’t deny
I never got to touch you but I feel you everywhere with me
It’s like our souls are intertwined
Isn’t it strange, stranger Or should I call you beloved stranger who stole my heart
You’re not a stranger no more
You have a place in my heart
I saved your love notes incase this is the last time you’ll write to me
I saved your voice notes incase I never hear you voice again
You said you’ll be back when you’re own you own two feet
I pray to god you find your peace
In the shallows of time
I call to thee
When the weight of this burden I carry
Brings me ever closer to the edge
I seek darkness while the Sun serves
only to more clearly expose
my longing for solace
I know not how to reach you
But I sense you with every breath
Perhaps the next life will be ours
Speak to me once more while I slumber
That my heart may be renewed
That my longing be not in vain
it's the same ocean that touched our feet
i knew your voice, recognized your heartbeat
it sailed across a hollow husk of a shell
when you were pouring yourself out there

as each wave crash heavily on your thighs
the moon pulls the tides gently
like blanket over your cold shoulders
your salty tears merged with sea breeze

i was there when you weeped
and the thundering clapped
i was there when you grieved
for each death of your old selves

the most beautiful thing to come out of the sea, when she left i found parts of her soul buried inside me

Souls ....

there are some souls ...
it has a beauty , like books ...
however we read more deeply ...
it intense us to read more ...
with no bore ...
nor , ...
we never get enough from it's gifts ...

Some souls have the flavor of the sky ...
you can smell it ...
and feel it wind ...
as when the sky rain ...

Some souls are like clouds ...
their silence is like a shadow ...
and their words are the drops of goodness ...
so,,
to be Being around them ...
it's the good life ...

some souls are like fragrant..

like the flowers ...
and it's tenderness is like rain.
it gives you a happiness and the smile ...
while it does not  know  ...

it create inside you a new soul with the purity of its morals ...

Souls are priceless and words cannot describe them! ...

and sends love
only for those who have a beautiful heart

and you are the soul ...
the beautiful ...
with a loving heart ...
whom i loved ...
and i can't talk more ...

endearing words and suggestive eyes brightened the room / accenting conversations that flowed smoother than honey / souls spun / quickly approaching and nearly colliding / unravelling like two ribbons / one maroon / one ebony / until one day / ebony suddenly curled back into itself / maroon was suspended in air for years / as if steeped in time / but dense air weighed maroon down / so maroon descended / letting go / when ebony came back in its unraveled glory / maroon curled back to itself.
Escapril Day 4! The prompt was "strange behavior." I was definitely stumped, but then I thought of a moment in which someone pulled away from me, and it was strange when it happened. And this poem was born.

through my window
the train disappears
tired and weary
a gallery of souls
materialize then retreat

with love and loneliness,
joy and sadness
painted with compassion
and indignation, darkness
resides within the light

the nightingale sings
of renewed ecstasy—
for you my prayers are full
lovers once, of you
i dream into the night
