You deserve
the same amount of love
you invest in other people

kahel
if the universe would grant me one thing…
i wish you loved me again
like before,
like the first time i offered you sunflowers,
when your eyes locked onto mine,
when you loved me // the most.
if we’re just a little bit brave to fight for our love

A Friend
Your ironclad promises
You make and swiftly break
Pleading that I believe in you
Things I don’t give—
You take
every
so often
a sequestered
hideaway
is
the best
place
to soothe me

solitariness
is
totally
free from turbulence
Love is a
four letter word-
As so is time.

As the love-
you have for one;
Is time you spend.

The time in love
as what to give-
Also a four letter word.

Spend the time
you give to one-
To the fullest,
as to show true love.

Eryri
Skeletal arms, leafless
Surrendered to the season

Patient is the life of a tree
Tolerant of unceasing change

eileen
spending all my days at home

I forgot constellations exist

why'd you leave

I can feel myself go dark

I think I want to be alone

see you in my dreams

wiped away my tears

why am I always sad when someone leaves me

they should be crying

not me
I went fishing and the fishing was good,
I came back full of fish,
With an ocean behind,
With a peace of mind.
