There’s a quiet strength in vulnerability. I might feel exposed, but I’m not drowning. I’m not ashamed to admit I’ve spent much of my life running away from myself. But it’s never too late to embrace vulnerability. Bear with me as I learn to accept mine—because the artist in me is still here. #art
there is something
in the way
you move t o w a r d me,
then a w a y—

it’s all

so tender.

she pressed his hand
upon her own wound
softening
the scar—
a mutual strength;

she harboured
moonlight in her bones,
preserving
the p a r t s of her
that love
without regret—
tenderness
to his
s o u l.

their faces
changed before their eyes—
the b a r e n e s s of their pain,
rock bottom
bitter truth,
parsimonious g e s t u r e s
in the depth of winter—
a l l u s i o n s of warmth
escaped them;
deeper
and deeper
in their minds—
they s i n k.

for a m o m e n t in time—
in the quiet yearning
of their s o u l;
his silhouette in the dark,
reflecting his breath,
her scent—held in his m e m o r y—
and how they lingered,
how they wished
u p o n
each other.

nothing so strong
as her tenderness—
nothing so tender
as her quiet strength.

but she’s a mess—
a beautiful mess,
who turned her pain
into a m a s t e r p i e c e.

there are storms
in her eyes,

a wound b e n e a t h
the bandage—
i carve tunnels into
my own f e a r s
instead of stepping into
the open sky—
burrow my way out
of freedom,
for i unearth
the s e c r e t of joy
in the mastery of

to stand in storm
of spring, to go into oneself,
to s p r e a d roots
into your soul;
to touch what i feel
and what i love
with a l l senses;

to slip into pockets
of loss, and come back
to the place where life

to you.

p u l l i n g snaps back—

belonging need not be
 a chain of locks without a key,
to hold
 this space with you,
   a quiet, timed b r e a t h—
let it be the thread
  we choose to w e a v e—
 soft as silk,
  strong as steel.

There is a life and there is a death, and there are beauty and melancholy between.

mornings bring back
e v e r y mistake i made
yet the nights forgive—
a bridge a c r o s s my sorrows,
a voice beyond the summit—

gossamer u m b r a s,
fitting boundless love
into air-tight containers—
under a full h o r i z o n.

she strips her soul
of u n n e c e s s a r y
appurtenances,
craving room to b r e a t h e—
it is the d e e p e s t time of night,
when she awakens by a memory
populated by shadows backlit
by the sun,
she shutters her eyes, for this light
was h u r t i n g her.

with my eyes closed
i let the world s p i n—
nothing tastes as good
than the edge of p l e a s u r e;
a language of remembering—
so u n r a v e l me if you wish..
feet trembling, hearts balancing;
b a l a n c i n g,
never breaking—

come closer
as we listen
to the sound of breaking,
b r e a k i n g—

of rain-soaked
fallings—
nights of extraordinary t a l e s;

as we dance on air,
stand on vanishing planes,
we dream a dream
yours, mine,
ever o u r s.

between our heartbeats,
there’s a s i l e n c e

gazing into your heart
i recognise you
as if you were so very near—

so very d e l i c a t e
in the depths
of p a i n

waiting at the front

for clouds

of what’s meant to stay,
a feeling fades into place—
still warm on my skin.
