Elvis phiri
A sensation of familiarity.
A hallucinogen.
A fantasy used to escape woes.
It's meaning has been lost to time, just as the scars incurred were errased.
All that "remains is an idea existing only as a myth"...

i have a yearning
a desire which pangs at my ribs
that aches like an old lover's betrayal
to run into the forest barefoot
to climb up mountains for no reason
swim with my clothes on in the ocean

i yearn to make myself a home
in the feeling of spontaneity.
stay safe everyone, wash your hands and stay inside <3

way above the clouds,
i watch the moon change phase
floating in the stars,
i’m in a cosmic daze
whispers in my ear,
the planets call my name
so far from it all,
don’t have to feel

lying on the moon,
nowhere else feels right like this
tangled in the sky,
all my sorrows disappear
finally i’m free,
i cry tears of golden light
so far from it all,
don’t even think of you

i’m falling, but i don’t mind falling up here
i’m reaching, but i don’t need catching,
it’s so clear
i’m floating, but never feeling
i’m wondering,
if i’ll every have to leave
this poem is actually the lyrics to a song i wrote

thank you so much if you took the time to read this and listen to my song
Touch her chine
Feel the cracks
And the curls

Breathe her in
The scented earthy smell

She’ll tell you stories
Trap you in worlds
With her words

With time
Her pricy smooth exterior 
Will be fissured aged leather
But loving attention
Gives her lines to smile
And she’ll never lose
Her enticing allure

She’ll leave you
Feeling that you’ve
Finished with her
But you’ll be left lonely
In your own head
Yenning for her 
To weave you
More wonders
She’s temptress
She’s liar
She’s wisdom
She’s universe
She’s limitation
She’s an opinion
Or a truth

She is a book ❤️

More Love
Today is one day
Just like the rest,
But unlike the others
It is here
Now.

Unlike tomorrow,
It holds the promise
Of existence.

And unlike yesterday
It provides opportunity
For change.

Today, her majesty
Is all we have.

When we salute her sunrise
And give way to her glory.

The shadows of yesterday
Come to rest
And the worries of tomorrow ease

And today opens her royal gates
To let in the living.
