There's no room for love
in times of war
I've been fighting a conflict
since the dawn of my life
I always wanted to love
To have a relationship
To get to know their family
and for them to know mine
but evil kept me single
I was never jovial
Carefree and happy
In fact, I was the opposite
careful and unhappy
and under attack
I don't love myself
and no one loves me back
So I don't believe in love
The kind between man and woman
I only know God's love
when I pray to heaven
Not to make me a winner
but to have mercy on me, a sinner

it's what keeps us alive,
yet it breaks us.

we feel too much,
at the wrong time,
in the wrong way,
for the wrong people.

we suffer for it,
but we make art,
and meaning,
and love.

I'm not asking you to be flawless
To ask for that would only divide;
flaws don’t reduce your worth
or dim your shine.
We don't have to be perfect alone
To work side by side
I'll compensate your flaws
and you'll compensate mine

I told others that your name

Is now a taboo; forbidden to be uttered

Because the mere mention of you

Hits me with everything we ever had

Hits me with everything we could have

Hits me to my core that I get stunned

By everything and anything of us 

So your name cannot be said by anyone

Unless it is whispered by me

Infallible. Imperishable.
Unwavering. Immutable.
Neither subjected to limitations,
Nor to transformations.
Death and decay -
None of them in your way.
The permanence of the divine
And the permanence of the stability.
Amidst the ever-changing world,
There is unchanging eternal reality.
There's an eternal reality.

I want you to open me carefully,
like a new book.
In half.

Slowly dragging your fingers across my center.

Before
you start reading.

And that’s who we are…
People.
Just….people

Time becomes our making.
Beautiful…..
&
Complex…
It came with me.

But What if I’m crazy?
What if the soul could lie.
And the roses never die.

🌹

It’s lonely….
To be different….

I know that…

Have Faith, they say…
I did see a rose that day.
