Gazing into him
Mesmorized by deep brown eyes
Warmth bridged our souls
Glimpse
In those deep brown eyes, a foreign language
I found a reflection of myself
A dance of identities intertwined
Our bloodline meeting in a strangers glance
Both captive and captivated
We read our stories, our selves, together
Nervous system
your mind is your weapon
do you have it
know how to use it
gather like minds
heal together
talk it through
cry
hold
find yourself
each other
commit and rebuild
brothers and sisters
descendants of the greatest warriors
For granted
How are we in love in silence
You don’t know how to touch me unless I want to be touched
How are we in love if we’re warming up on our own
you only know how to grip me
How are we in love when you won’t say a word
like there’s nothing to talk about
You pick flowers as if I’m that type of girl
as if you don’t know me at all
How are we in love
How can you look at me
Burn
Be around me and not give your all
How can you love me while leaving me stranded heartful devoted
Refusing to rub those begging feet

Blocking air
Swim
To make love
To yourself
In everything you do
Liberation!
My sovereign child
Joy is everywhere
Passion
Life
At the tips of your fingers
Explore
Dive in!
Hunger
he consumed me
as his last breathe
savored my flesh
breakfast
lunch
dinner
and he loved me till my bones ached
are we not all worthy of somebody
Gazelle
Could I be a gazelle
Admiring the wind
Learning from her
Becoming the wind
Smelling the storm
Seeing the atoms of mist
As all gazelles do
Waiting
Waiting
Bury me
Bury me beneath the many corners of my past life
I see the door and I’ll knock forever cause thats all I do
Bury me like lost lovers scorching the world.
I’ll be within it and you’ll never need to ask twice
As you bury me
I am no longer alive
I cannot see or breathe
But I am here
