I gather the stars in my trembling hands, Though one by one they fall. The night does not ask why I grieve— It simply listens to all. A whisper lost in the willow’s breath, A shadow on the sea, I speak my sorrow to the wind, And let it carry me. The roses close when day is done, But bloom again at dawn— So too...

Oh lovely lady of ivory hair How your pale skin shimmers in the day How your hazel eyes compliment your smile With teeth as white as pearls And lips of a blushing rose Your walk as even as a calm stream And your voice as sweet as honey Such a shame for a soulless shell She holds such...

Someone brought tacos to the basement bar— al pastor, slick with pineapple and something red that warned from the foil. I took one because she handed it to me with both hands and said nothing. We ate standing— elbows touching, our breath fogging the same patch of mirror behind the liquor shelf. My tongue lit up mid-bite. Heat that made my eyes water the way they do when I say too much in a...

I wish you had waited and given me a chance, But instead you text me so excited she gave you a glacne.

O’ dear, I learned today you’re spoken for; I asked the question, got the answer: “no”. Ayayaye…but, considering the blow wasn’t so bad, I’m glad I tried to score. Oh dear,—(I must admit)—you know what’s more?, you’ve snatched the beauty right out from this low world; o’ diamond, why must you hoard it so? All other charms have lost their glow, they...

Every rejection, a redirection Don't be ashamed or let it tame you. Don't let them change you, If they won't accept who you are. People don't value What they can't control or own, Just stay in your lane doing it your way. Many only wanna partake In your blessings not lessons I hope you understand this! Just be you as...

"Painful" "Unworthy" You question why you exist Loathing Self-Pity Its lies you cannot untwist Empathy And reason They bid farewell As love And self-esteem Also parallel Negativity fills faster than adipose cells Mademoiselle Are you truly well? No It takes courage to say To seek closure To make way For much needed composure Then realisation sweeps in That our rejection is from deep within If we never love, if we never care We cease to be human We fail...

I offered her my trembling heart, A blossom pale beneath the sky, But she, with cold and careless art, Let it wither and pass by. I sang for her the sweetest song, A melody of stars and sea, But she, unmoved, walked on too long, She did not turn to glance at me. The moon was kind and watched my tears, The night was...
