Love is just a word that lingers in silence. It doesn't need to be said, It doesn't need to be heard, I can see it in your smile. So look at me. Let the warmth of my breath coat your skin Let me hypnotize your thoughts into believing Sound is not necessary. In fact, I … Continue reading Love is just a word.

The stem that blooms.
Outside my window lies a tree with ample stems And each stem reminds me of an abandoned beginning As if they sprouted without a purpose And wallowed away while another one grew And only a few bloom Which makes me think about my own family tree About which stem blooms next Hoping it's the stem … Continue reading The stem that blooms.
in this world.
He was my supplement of the sun when my sun no longer shined. My overview of the world when my eyes became blind. He was my inner sweetest, most deepest desires. But also the match that sparked my internal fires. I did not realize I was flammable Until I suffered third degree burns God, when … Continue reading in this world.
the things i really wanted to say, but didn’t.

Place your hand on my back and feel the tenderness of my skin. Pay attention to my eyes like you would the last bowling pin. And spare me the hurt; caress me with care. Put your lips to my lips and your hand through my hair. I know it's too early and I'm not thinking … Continue reading you haven’t touched me in a while.
