Tell me everything
there is to know
what are you inside
besides the version you show
your tales of glory,
setback and hopes
what keeps you up at night
what secrets you hold

Somedays my heart feels heavy
like there's a thousand pound
resting on my chest
making me gasp for breath
and somehow as I inhale
I start choking,
my lungs giving up.
On days like these,
despite the resistance
I breathe for I'd rather try
than give up.

-

you've heard them
over and over again
it sounds like
your favorite melody
playing on loop
fluttering in your mind
like a kite cut loose

-

Let me read your restless mind
Let me caress your naked spine
Let me entwine my hands with yours
Let me heal your twisted scars
Let me kiss you until we're out of breath
Let me be a fantasy you can never forget
Let me devour your darkest sin
Let me unravel what lies within

-

You asked me what enduring a heart break
felt like and all I managed to say is
it was nothing less than a war-torn city
still breathing through the ashes
hoping to be built anew.

Cupid in the times of covid!

Sometimes you've got to
snatch back from life
all the pieces that you
so carelessly distributed
in the process
of healing others
only to become
whole, again.

-

Rarely does it happen that despite being
build so strong and high over the years,
a castle crumbles into pieces within moments.
Spacious enough to contain whirlwind
of emotions, yet filled with void,
breaks one day to let you in.

-

If the thought of separation
ever crosses your mind
say it today
for each day delayed
corresponds to
pain multiplied.
