the poetry
we wear
all that we adorn
all that we unravel
annihilated
in the umbra of such grace
the esculent nature
of words penned to sate
the sustenance
of beauty
the succulence
of sincerity
#UnchainedSymphonies
I remember blueberries,
tiny nibbling fishes in a river,
wanton disregard of holy ground
the pull of your gravity
but I feel I'll only be remembered
for what I've forgotten
I wanted to believe
that life was full of circles
instead
so many wonderful things begin
& then they just
end

when darkness
swallows
the light of day
and I retreat
to my bed
resting & scrolling
long into the night,
reading and
watching content
of the world
we now live in...
I pretend I don't
love him anymore
but I still do

“Meet me
where the falling stars live.
I will wait for you
day and night.”
― Alexandra Vasiliu
redemption denied us
by cowless angels of fate
no #investiture i bestow
was meant as divine
i don't want you on a pedestal
i need you in my arms
and when i say heaven—
well
you know of what i speak
as damned
as each other
defiantly
i dream you again

they waited
patiently
for time to
release them
from their longing
and separation —
never to touch
except with words
and the lexicon of
star-crossed lovers

oh, my darling
we have fallen
together again
into this fraught orbit
where the air tastes
of scarlet and
honey
where fractures
bloom beneath
our fingertips
where we hold
—oh we hold
the shatter of each other
#poetry
.
there was
a dreamy
place we'd go
with a waterfall
and some shade—
those summers
with you still
floating around
in my head

Offline is the new luxury
The day #gives its final cue.

fire fed on dry grass
left nothing behind
but the shape
of your absence
.
remembering
the erotic bond
we shared
and the tears
we cried—
how the rain and
ocean
cleansed our souls,
the moonlight
blinding us to
each other's
imperfections
fondly I reminisce
the many years
we shared
hoping you've found
someone that makes
you happy
the way I never could

great one ♡
the inkwell full
overflowing on my desk
I'd write you words
but they'd only live
in envelopes unsent
ticking, always ticking
I'm forced to pay attention to time
its emptiness only reminds me
of the way
you used to fill my days
I am a cistern
walls bulging
stressed
full of love
unexpressed

wind turns almost silk
waning pulls the heartstrings taut
clouds ease into slack

the language in
his kisses
the impulse and
longing—
the feeling of
knowing,
of giving
and receiving
lost in his eyes
found in his touch
with the man in
my dreams

And all I loved
I loved alone.

its so lovely 🕊

afraid of his darkness
illusive shadows
in the night
I kept running
away —
but I wanted him
to love me

appreciate your kind words, Swarn. I am doing fine, all things considered. hope life is treating you well ♡
🙏✨️

a calm & stable life
evolving from conflicts
with myself through
the torrid years,
settling down
to unassuming
daily rhythms &
peaceful passions
not specifically
revolving around
sensual attraction,
but the warmth
and compassion of
sharing what's left
of our time here
on earth

Morning opens softly
like magnolia blooming—
I'm grateful for
its calm shades
a wish to be
as the farmer
harvesting stalks
to import into
black rose days
that feel more minus
than plus—
where not a thing
can facinate
for now,
I'll breathe in
the sweet
vanilla scent,
leaving thorns
to yesterday.
i needn't delve
all too deep
to find the words
nor reason to need them
how could i be
any more inspired
i saw you today
and you were beautiful
i read your words today
and felt a piece of your soul
this verse
wouldn't exist
if you weren't you
#UnchainedSymphonies
I loved being in that place
of perpetual fascination
you are a universe
of endless exploration
so many wonders
to see
but when stars
turned to void
I didn't know
how else to be
I was suddenly alone
nowhere
felt like home
the ground,
hard and cold
nowhere to go,
nothing
to hold

a mañ's and woman's face close together, an open book before them.

you fall in love with people's minds
—anais nin

his poetry was
carnal knowledge
in a noir fantasy,
it became my place
to escape from dire
loneliness
he broke down
the walls i built to
hide from the world
brought me out of
the darkness into
the light
aching to be held
in his arms
my incredible muse,
indebted to him
forever
