We know more about the Universe than we know Love.
Modern humans have had around 200,000 years to figure out what Love is, and yet it is still one of the greatest mysteries in human existence.

blankets of moonlight smother
smoke tendrils
as we sit
in silence.
struggling for sentences
that slip through our grasp.
occasional glances
that we hide away.
a sway in the dark.
a hark for some semblance of closeness.

Her head lies heavy across my chest
both grasping for closeness
her breath in rhythm with my breath
both intimately silent
her heart aches as mine aches
both dreading the distance
we are One
masquerading as two in separation
not yet noticing
Life’s infinite unfolding
we remain forever entangled;
lost in Love’s dream
of endlessly pursuing Itself
in the other

Suspended sunlight
shimmers inside
silver ***** of magic
~
dancing blissfully
under arms
of naked branches
their silent melody of movement
pierce my eyes
inflicting blissful movements
inside

what my english teacher tells me is
logical fallacy

i've held on to for as long as my blood was blue
it's as close to a religion as i will ever come
and maybe i don't see wings in my reflection

but i'm done being told that i'm going to fall when i jump

Who left you
so broken that your
eyes now cut deeper than
the sharpest knife?
We are left with such hatred
weighed upon our hearts
and all we can do
is laugh.

Why do I long for home
As if it was something
Lost to me
Out at sea
Under the waves of oblivion.

Why do I feel empty
And indifferent to it all.

I would like to lie
In the suns gaze
And shrug off myself
Give my thoughts the slip
Just for a moment
A minute, an eternity.

Carry on without me
I'll be here awhile
And imagine I'm sat
Under the sky I know
So much better than this one
The one with the brighter stars
That I can reach
And graze my fingertips across
Remembering the burn of promise
As if it was tingling still.

Home where are you now
Have you flown somewhere far
Where I cannot reach
Without a guide
Without some aid.
Will I stay here on this island
That is so
Familiar but detached from me.
When will I be ready
To brave the storms
For possibility
For more than what I have made
And chose to stay in.

Soil

The soil speaks your name
On earthy tongue
Rich and slow to move
Like thick roots in Spring.
The rain sings of you
Splashing melodic notes
Into murky puddles
That stare up at constellations.
The leaves whisper to you
Rustling in amber, brown and gold
As if you were a treasure
Left from the days of Kings
But it is the soil
In it's dark enclosure
That truly knows you
And calls you home
Oncemore.
