I want to cry
for all my lives
I've missed to dive
beneath my
kisses not tried
moments unsmiled
tonight
You long so deeply, as if it alone could pull you, yet your will remains untouched, motionless. For desire stirs the mind, but only the will moves the body.
no longer that cold-running fear that lonely my hands would droop and wrinkle so flat they would never lift or hold the world again
Maaaaaaan, this is good. I love your stuff

As Moth Is Drawn To A Flame
Attraction
like a moth to a flame
Irresistible
to the glitters of gold, to a
desire for sensuous beauties
From a harmless candle
to a dangerous fire
Folded eyes long for light
from faint familiarity
to rogue recognition
Stimulation
by an arousing emotion
Destruction
awaits the wild imagination
as thoughts lead to actions
Fools
choose deliberately
a wit without wisdom
Popularity draws the young
as Moth is drawn to the Flame

This is so good, I love it!!
I AM MY BIGGEST FAN!!!!
Mouth full of silver,
a waning cresent smile shines
in the ink of night.
I float above the debris
Freshly risen from the grave
Where moths gently flutter
And the worms quietly dance
At the rhythm of blue crotchets
Hanging from red green wing tips
Resting beyond the horizon
Where your brokenness waits
Behind a shattered mirror
i cannot call it a creature, for
it has no face, no limbs, not
even a heart. it is just a shadow.
a lingering memory that disappears
whenever i focus too hard.

Are you breathing only
Because the world demands it?
Do you move through life
Just to check off the boxes?
Dear one,
Have you ever paused
And not because you were told?
Are you smiling only
To hide what’s aching inside,
Or do you laugh
Because it genuinely sparks joy?
Friend,
Have you wandered outside
And not just to run away?
Have you truly lived
For yourself?
