Pieces of hope for today, tomorrow, and the days after that

There is a rotten feeling of melancholy and loneliness on some nights which you can’t quite explain. You suddenly want to be buried—whether under the ground, under a comforter, or in a hug that’s here to stay, you don’t yet know—but you suddenly feel like mould and dust and the colour of a funeral on a dull day; you suddenly want to sit in the middle of a puddle of gloom and stare off at the white wall till daybreak peeks through the window crack. You want away; you want the ocean bed; you want stillness; you want nothingness. Because you feel like nothingness.

Brown eyes that mirror thoughts; eyes that round up when intriqued, eyes that close to almost a slit when playful, eyes that sparkle with mischief even before the words come out of her mouth.
I play along when she has a joke in mind, she doesn't know her eyes are giving it all away. The way her lips curl up and the way her nose crinkles, the way her voice carries her intent- light and full of laughter. She doesn't know i've spent years learning her and can read her through and through.
Here she comes, those coffee powder eyes with twinkling lights beneath it. Here she comes and starts with "Hey have you heard. . ?" Here she comes and there's happiness in my blood, it's going all around.

I do not want to attach to anything;
Not because I fear loss.
I witness a million deaths a day
in the spaces between us
and with those I never met.
I fear growing into the earth
and being ripped from its flesh
a clutched newborn,
still a misshapen star.
I do not fear the warmth of ruin,
only the silence I came from:
A beginning and end
without the eyes of god.

The sound and flow of words. The melody of nature. The song of the soul. All move endlessly like a placid river by the trees. As life speaks in its soft tunes as my fingers glide against the tree bark; the rough and smooth edges beneath my touch. It felt as though there was a string that tied me to this beauty. To this life. As if a thread woven into cloth, making a beautiful tapestry. A story. The beats of my heart translated in the depths of this earth. Rooted. Alive.

I’ll paint the scenery outside your window with your favourite season and connect the stars to scribble your name in the sky. I’ll write books of poems and songs in your name and leave them in parks and bus benches for everyone to find and read. I’ll bake you the homeliest home and cook you the fanciest dinners. I’ll tuck you in with a lullaby for the heart and scoop you in with kisses to the forehead till your chest falls into a calm rhythm next to me. I’ll build you the cosiest cabin in the woods and I’d be the fire that keeps your fingertips and nose warm. I’ll love you like I have always wanted to love you, and I hope that, with time, you will, too.
— I’ll find you for your sake till you become inseparable with yourself.

I’m sorry I didn’t realize how thin the string was between you and me; how rare these ties would be.

I like you a little. A little because i'm not sure if i'm allowed to like you a lot.
We're standing around in groups but it feels like there's only you and me. You recall small things about me and my heart does a little flip because you took the time to notice those things and it flops just as quick thinking you must be that type of person; too nice to let anything pass by, too kind to not make friends with everyone.
I like you a little. A little because if I don’t keep reminding myself, everyone else might realize it's a lot.

you never have to ask
though wish you had
been there when i planned
to see you again, to feel you
between distant twitching descriptions
across the room; and the rest
assured unsaid,
the best still coming yet every caught gaze is
the same consequence to our nine
o clock angels sent to save morning,
their scalding luminescent
mis handling
of those glorious unfolding fables
for reading quietly
in secret communities
their harmonies now
growing across the sky,
as i
climb
induced by
where you demand to be seen, where
you cry to be noticed for how lonely you,
continue to believe,
as you lower yourself to
my believing in what’s likely to be just
as terrifying,
aren’t i in white,
but you are so unwary
in your bed,
with my imaginary
motivated for more body
glowing on your phone as
not your only joy to provide
with time, but your shadow
of scarlet and hunger (by night which
Is satisfied) still knowing
for the better, that i
keep your dreams kind,
in some greater chastity i am
alive by your mind’s
revaluation of love, through life, and protecting
your impulses by disguise i, under now
hoping your demons want mine,
wonder to realize how
right it isn’t really, to be loving
you so freely when you
only need me for the sky’s
harmony to bleed, though
i suppose i leave every evening only
needing you tomorrow
for the same thing, and
isn’t it humiliating?
but do we
both know
how evil uses our spirits for
fulfillment, that what we
want is always wicked to
the modesty we lived
without it —
the needle eye of eros
glows with inimical certain ness,
we are what we ask everywhere , continue
i may regret to dare though
truly some of us must
succumb: as love does ask, humming
through all of us eventually so certainly
your turn is coming, though i cannot wait — for already
each time we meet i am
wide-eyed and in duced by the
constancy
of your wordless honesty, my
can did darling should
you later
want to find me by free will, i care
be not waiting between realms
but glittering back and forth
creating layers across our ghosts ,
and seeking for what compels you most,
do resonate this need, held
unapparently, send me
across hells separating
our distant heavens,
there marry may i,
quiet your singing bell
