they call you sunshine —
your smile fascinates the clouds,
your eyes bemuse the skies,
your soul radiates joy.

they call you sol —
some are afraid of your scathing warmth
but you’re still a timeless beauty
every single time you fall.

Those sleepless nights
Where I see myself
Cradled into the ugliest memory.
Bleeding over the unheard agony,
Penetrating deep into my soul
Crying over the faded flickering light.

Shattered ardour,
Weakened yearning
Hopeless woman
Gone the divine.

I broke out the chain
of torturing evocation.
Unfurled my pinions,
Soared over the sky.
Unearthed the pieces
that you've buried beneath.

I'm back to life sturdy and still,
I'm over you and I really do!
Don't ask me when
Nor take me back.
I find no way
to the old misery.

with ebony feathers being ruffled with the wind,
he perched on his little ledge, a morning routine.
silently, observing moments of the day
sitting unnoticed to the beings crossing below.
with their busy tones and headphones,
their feet making quick steps, never stopping to think,

he wondered.

do they enjoy missing moments like these?
as he pitied the humans who never even noticed
the little shadows leading, dancing at their feet
and the disappearance of the crow,
leaving only three tracks on the wall.

i can no longer
steal glances
and waste chances —
for your beguiling smile
enchants every piece of me
and your sweetest eyes
look like a felony
i am willing to commit.

You are gorgeous, simply beautiful
the fact, indisputable, irrefutable
you are worth it all, and you're enough
thank you for being the you I know
and have come to love.
I love you without hesitation.
Words of Affirmation

If I were there with you now,
I'd be giving you a comforting cuddle
I'd run my hand through your hair and hold you close
a kiss to the forehead, pure, not sensual
I'd hold your hands, warm them with mine
and be with you all the time, because to you it means so much
Physical Touch

I'd get you your favorite ice cream
with extra toppings, just how you like it
I'd write you letters and poems, I'll send them in the mail
I'd leave you small notes, and make you small trinkets
I'd get you the first editions of your favorite books,
and make you the shelf on which they'd be living
Gift Giving

We could go out to the city, just the two of us
Take a walk through the park, sit and talk for hours
I'll be there for you, and only you
you'd have my 100% undivided attention
I could go to yours, or you could come to mine
and that's all we'd ever need, each other's
Quality Time

Would you like a hand with that?
I'm here to help. I'll help you sleep on time
and wake you in the morning with breakfast in bed
don't stress about your workload we'll work together instead
I can proofread your essays, and help with your homework
We'll work on things together, as no problem should concern us
Acts of Service

we tried to bury the dead
clawing at memories
hard as beet roots,
garnet colocasia,
rotting,
manicured nails in caked film,
dirt and violet water
whimper séance spells
at our ankles -

I tried to listen
but did not understand -

were we burying sorrow,
or digging it up?
