I look behind and after
And find that all is right,
In my deepest sorrows
There is a soul of light...

I'm several
steps back

I'm watching
from afar

I'm trying
to make sense

But I'm just grabbing
at raindrops
with open palms

My story
 May 2017 Tahirih Manoo
Eve
It was March 2007,
   An exact decade
The land was barren
   My bare body laid
The air was in drought
   Helplessness rioted and raid
Humanity was in scarcity
   My debt soul sinfully paid
   For its innocence
He was inside me, collecting dues
I was nine, crying and loud
He was forty one, enjoying and proud.

My money ran out,
August 2011.

April 2017
Debts never truly forgotten,
It was after work Saturday when
My debts finally finished paying
A vase left him bleeding

No longer loud and helpless.

-fir.m
I decided that it was about time i opened with this childhood treachery. I've always been to scared to let go, to truly visit this earth as it's guest. See the thing is my entire life lived so far has made me feel captive. Captured in my own skin, the skin i blame for my vulnerability, but no more. I was without once, but not anymore. Remember, no one can ever break your soul without your consent. Fight it, fight your own mind, fight your own skin for it's own freedom. You wouldn't regret it I promise.
My soul is a bird,
My body is a locked cage,
Where I don't belong.

She seeks nothing more
than an inside desire...
for an outside gesture
A look maybe...
accidentally touching her skin...

She seeks nothing more
than a longing...
that her poorly worded poems
Show you how special you are..
Regardless...

She seeks nothing more
than to catch your attention..
being in your comfort zone...
Songs...music...words
Maybe seeing her would be the answer...

She seeks nothing more than
A tunnel...
An inside desire for an outside gesture..
An 'accidental' touch of skin..
on the only part left exposed by a heavy winter jacket...

Accidentally...
"Vannah"
Her little hands grabbed my face,
"Where does it hurt?"

"In my heart, little one"
I whispered back.

Her tiny finger pointed to my chest
And I nodded my head

"How do you fix it?"
She quietly asked

"I don't know yet, little one. I haven't figured that out yet."
You're full of it
False hope and limp words
Spilling more than you're worth
I wish I never let you in
Always pulling my hair out
Cutting me with your nails and shouts
You're a mad mess
And I'm a wreck of your creation
to that bespectacled beauty
whom i fell in love with on the train
i wish i could've told you how i felt
i wish i could've held your hands
before you alight the train.
