[535] Until We Meet Again

To meet her once is to meet her for all eternity⁣Her auburn hair a flame, ablaze in ferocity⁣Comfortable in silence, comfortable in self⁣There is a lust for an experience that is beyond self⁣A hereditary habit of reading news⁣⁣To meet her again is a chance to be reborn⁣She has never had a crush (at least that’s [...]

What escapes us every day tires us⁣But, is it keeping me alive?⁣Eyes linger, mesmerised by stardust⁣What escapes us every day tires us⁣Warring feelings, which one to trust?⁣A headless dove clutters my design⁣What escapes us every day tires us ⁣But, is it keeping you alive?

[523] Count Me Out

When the lights go out⁣⁣I’m left with a lack in me⁣⁣like damage dwells in my knee⁣⁣Is it pain or upward spinal ecstasy?⁣⁣⁣⁣Playing catch up to my thoughts⁣⁣An utter abandon of pride⁣⁣Shudder and stutter in speech⁣⁣All the ravens waiting for me⁣⁣⁣⁣In the painting of my life⁣⁣lies a dark centre amidst delight⁣⁣Melancholic bitter sweet flight⁣⁣A confident self [...]

I hide from your secrets⁣⁣I live in another plane⁣⁣where we words are extinct⁣⁣so we only listen to the music⁣⁣that we emit from our bodies⁣⁣The music of our impossibility⁣⁣⁣⁣In another world you lay next to me⁣⁣In another world we kill each other⁣⁣until we’re born again, in another world⁣⁣A million sunsets meeting ⁣⁣at the edge of the [...]
