The ache of a heart
who cannot rest
for it has been apart
from you who were my best,
the best part
of all art.

To chase
honesty
in a bramble
rather than
in a thornless
rose.

Why making wishes
on a dying creature
as a shooting star?
So beautiful death
can seem if seen
from a distance.
For me comets are
named after all the
people who decided
my sky wasn’t their
place anymore.

Give the gates
of your heart
permission to
be wide open
but make sure
not to let winter
settle in your
feeble bones.

My fragility is a shared space
in which anyone feels free
to stay for a while
make a mess
and leave.

I deprive my heart
of blood for I write
these verses with it
in the hope it would
merge with yours
the moment you see
my heart is meaningless
if you spurn my love.

The Little Mermaid gave up
her voice so as to be near
her beloved prince and
that’s how little girls
are taught from the
earliest age that
as women the price
to pay for love will
always be their silence.
