A Mess of Words May 27

Thoughts

What
Is eternity
But the
Disruption
Of all
I’ve worked
So long for,
In vain
?

Thoughts on the time that comes after my time.

A Mess of Words May 26

I have
Only just recovered

Waking
To the splash
Of cold water

A shivering gasp
Some hours
Before dawn

My heart
Is wary;

Weary;

Worried;

What comes now?

After this
Long forsaken
Childlike awe?

I haven’t posted here in a while. Struggles that need not be rewritten. But I personally have this heavy sense of tomorrow, a joy and a terror.

Larissa

I love you.

I only wish

I could teach my younger self

I didn’t only want you;

I loved you.

If I could do that,

Perhaps tonight,

I could breathe that honest truth

Into your ears

And not spill it on paper.

love, regret, and the perils in between

Glorious morning;
The fog has lifted, and now
Fishing boats are out.

A Mess of Words Sep 2021

Paris is for lovers, but they let me in too

A heady brew of espresso

Mingles with the dewy air,

Buttery pain au chocolat

Makes for quite a pair;

The morning warms to the songs

Of the chipper moineau,

And lovers beneath the columns

Of Parc Monceau.

One chance

Is all we ever get.

Now I spend my evenings

Drunk on my regret.
