Your Absencethe sun descended when you left
the moon bereft of its glow

Every month, ovulating
Yearning, breathing in and out
In and out, breathing – inhaling
Exhaling, panting, gasping

The tears adding up, rivers
Of yearning, hopes shattered
Moons coming and going,
Hearts...

I want to shedGhost sense of grief all want to shed,
False sense of joy who wants to shed?

shadowed ravens watch
depressive day turns

Ghosts dance after the fall
The procession crawls
To the point of vanishing
Oblong boxes of onyx inlaid
Crimson glowing deep within...

Swallow
I swallow hard the bitter tastes of your lips
I choke down your shards of hard lies,
External stains
I wonder why I let you into my heart
There is a wall you build with…
Thick ramparts and razor...

His welcomeI saw him yet again today.
When silence is overpowering,
when the emptiness is overwhelming,
when everyone's busy leaving me out,
that's when his presence is caught.
He stared at me blankly
as I pull myself...
