the world bites with iron teeth
yet the soft still bloom

a voice quiet as snowfall
can move a mountain of noise

tenderness is not surrender
it is the art of staying open
while the wind claws at your ribs

to be gentle is to resist
to keep the pulse steady
when everything else wants blood

the promise cracked beneath the moonlight
its shards hum across the quiet hours

i listen to their trembling glow
each sound a ghost of what we meant to keep

the dark learns my name again
and answers with nothing but itself

I kept your name in a jar of dust
where silence hums like an afterlife

the moon does not answer anymore
yet still I kneel beneath its pale vow

distance thickens like forgotten smoke
but devotion breathes through ash

I am what remains of reaching
a flicker refusing to fade

the creek carried my laughter away
and I forgot how to chase it

I reach for it in sleep
but my hands are grown things now
no longer shaped for wonder

the more I stay organized
the more I follow the rules
the more I try to turn off my spontaneity
is the more I kill my creativity
and the more I kill my compassion
am I living just to be pulled apart?

Lee Firefly @leenard.bsky.social · 28d

there I am tomorrow
at a place for me to survive
turning down, fading myself
forcefully pulling my colors
all to live with safety
before they try to take advantage of me

you were a room once—
my laughter took off its shoes and sat down

colors of the window
skies of the season
I see time passing by
with me forlorn at the floor

I lay with all my dreams
I sleep with all my tears
I exist in the nevermore
And I yearn for everything
