Ash Jun 2023

prologue

tapestries woven of the stars
fading into our dappled sunrise
there, your wings carry me softly—
to be my dove, or my icarus?

#love #future #uncertain

Ash Jun 2023

am I dreaming or scheming

is it the golden threads of fate
or your puppet strings on my hand?

untitled

I find myself looking back
holiday lights blurring,
fading into falling stars

I have a lot to think about

Ash May 2023

glean

we fell like the last rain
bookending a bone-deep chill
something to cling to, the pain
washed out from the windowsill

we both deserve better

appel du vide

one strike of that blackened match
and a million chromatic threads unwound
leaving only an ashen husk,
my timeless vessel

epilogue

I found myself, but I suppose it's time to do it alone
I'll weave my melancholy into my tapestry of prose
And I'll raft through the storm ahead without you

Ash Dec 2022

I'm casting off my burial shroud

How many times
have I stood on this precipice
and turned away?

---

I think I'll give myself to the open sea
Throw my arms out wide, breathe
I haven't lived in so long
