The River and the Flame

In stillness, I dissolve to him,
A flame that calls me from within.
I am his now, and he is mine,
No longer seeking, lost in time.

He whispers softly in my ear,
A voice that only I can hear.
Not thunder loud, but gentle, sweet,
His presence is where the silence meets.

I was a river, wild and free,
Seeking shores I could not see.
But in his gaze, I found my home,
The river and the ocean, one alone.

I am nothing, yet I am all,
Like endless skies and shadows' call.
In surrender, I find my place,
Not lost, but held in his embrace.

He is the root, and I the tree,
A dance of shadows, light, and sea.
In losing myself, I’ve learned to be,
The quiet rhythm of the divine decree.

Now my heart beats only his name,
No more running, no more shame.
In every breath, in every sigh,
I am his, and he is nigh.

That, which is not. :)

Until next time,

Love always,

When the stars gazed back at us.

When the stars gazed back at us, it was not about beginnings; it was about recognition. About that rare, almost fleeting moment when the universe did not feel distant or indifferent, but attentive, almost complicit. ;) I woke up remembering you, All your words, old and new. Of dreams I hold of lands unseen, As if your name’s the hum I’ve known, your face the only thing I’ve seen. Even the sun bears your name, Without you, rain feels strangely tame. They may call me mad, broken, or even wrongly built, I’d still reduce to dust all that may keep us apart, without remorse or even a speck of guilt. You and me, we took an oath, To be each other’s home through misery and gloat. If I were to do it all over again, I would, of course, I would, Wouldn't change a thing even if I could. I’ve held you through your sin, you’ve seen me through my crime Miles and miles I’ve carried all your shadows; you have borne witness to mine. Across all lives, though you forg...

Miss you like an old song.

Somewhere between an old radio song, a cold vanilla latte, and emotional unemployment, I wrote (blows raspberries ) THIS?! *insert debating one’s own sanity [poet really only means the curtains are blue] You know those people who leave so quietly that even silence starts sounding like them after a point? Excruciating enough that some nights, memory shows up disguised as curiosity and suddenly you’re three hours deep into old interviews, random reddit ravel (wtf is even that?!) , blurry photographs, and strangers loving/hating someone like they discovered them first. And somehow, against all logic, one might still end up offended… as if the world was supposed to know that your silence around them was sacred. When they sometimes wanna make you drag out of the perfectly made (very very comfortable) cocoon then climb on top of that rooftop yell (softly though) for them to bloody get out of their head, how they’ve stretched out the liberty by far m...

the universe ends in violet 🪻

To you, There are things I shouldn’t wonder about when I don’t know you. What your voice sounds like when you aren’t being careful, how close you stand when you want someone to understand you. Whether you look away when you’re trying not to smile? What your hands do when you want something? Especially that last one . Because there is something almost indecent about wanting to know such exhaustive details of someone who has never really touched you, or so to say. I don’t mean desire in the simple sense. No, no… It is stranger than that. It is the desire to know whether the tension I feel in your absence would survive your presence. Whether the air would change if you walked into the room. Whether I would suddenly understand why my mind has kept making room for you. Sometimes I imagine meeting you and nothing happening. And sometimes… God. *hopelessly sighs Sometimes I imagine the opposite. That first look lasting a second too long. That tiny hesitation before either of ...
