Books make me feel like i belong.
They give my mind wings,
and hence i fly.
Warm my heart,
and let my ego melt.
Make me feel all the emotions
that I've never felt.
My partner for warm and cold nights,
helped me twinkle in the darkest times.
Never make me feel lonely,
a friend in disguise,
like the sun under the bright blue sky.
Even when melancholy pours,
so does sadness in my heart.
I keep you close,
you're a part of me.

Mary Oliver, "Blue Iris." Devotions
Something about the way your lips moved when they called out my name. Dew drops from heaven placed on those soft petals. Thunders woke me up turning those drops into hails. All in vain. Just a nightmarish daydream.

For the first time in this lifetime, i felt miles of distance and an inch away closeness, in the same moment. Your mere words were enough to clutch my heart & make it bleed. You opened the gates with a volcanic force, slit my heart & went away in the morning light, and i longed just for another sight.
