If you don't heal what hurt you,

You'll bleed on people who didn't cut you.

I will never have that kind of love
That simmers over heat
The kind that fulfills desires
And tiptoes past deceit

I will never have that kind of love
That grabs and won’t let go
That pulls you into a warm embrace
Still with room to grow

I will never have that kind of love
That beckons every nerve
With every fiber of my being
Every extremity and curve

I will never have that kind of love
That suffers when you leave
Every second that you’re gone
I suffocate, can’t breathe

I will never have that kind of love
That shadows cannot find
That hides in open daylight
And stays with you stride for stride

I will never have that kind of love
That toils with my care
That sings with joyous harmony
Whenever we’re a pair

Take me back to that boat on the river

where innocence doesn't hide
risk wears a sleeve
and fear quickly dies.

Take me back to that boat on the river

where the meek makes brave
and danger is kept
in its shallow grave.

Take me back to that boat on the river

where the rapids grow wild
and life lives carelessly
through the eyes of a child.

I miss you sometimes
even after what you did.
I wish I didn't.
Such a short haiku I almost didn't even post it

You gave birth to me
yet I have never been born
I am alive
yet never taken a single breath

I have been caught up in currents of time
yet this moment remains eternally still
I have traveled miles across this land
yet never taken a single step

I have had infinite conversations
yet never spoken a word
embraced many loved ones
yet never touched a single soul

I have cried oceans of tears
desperately searching for love
blindly unaware what I was seeking
was looking through my eyes

I have grieved a magnitude of losses
yet lost nothing at all
felt desperately alone
yet everywhere I looked, there I was

countless lifetimes
incalculable deaths
I am billions of galaxies in the Cosmos
yet I remain infinite emptiness
