glimmers of light
passing through
enveloping my being
blank space
fingertips tracing
delicate shimmers
I can touch it

[honey]
a constant
humming
intoxicates my veins
blank space
keep playing
for it tastes like nectar
feels like euphoria
blank space
a single touch
is all it takes
I fall apart
blank space
floral notes
invade my senses
exposes your essence
blank space
shimmers of gold
adorn you
it looks heavenly
[candlelight]
to be vulnerable
naked
exposed for your eyes only
blank space
to be defensless
weightless
waiting for you
blank space
to be powerless
magnetised
expecting the unexpected
blank space
vulnerability
is not to be feared.
not when it’s for you.
[home]
take me home
where the light
caresses your face
blank space
orange;
yellow;
red
that’s where I belong
with you.
[tranquil]
You know when you’re in love
with something
someone.
You get this feeling
butterflies
In that very moment
blank space
You make me feel like that.
Every melody
Every exhale
I fall more
each and every time
blank space
Even life isn’t there for me
You are.
[sunset]
have you ever thought about it?
that someone could be your sunset.
blank space
bringing you back to the ground
when you’re drifting miles above
blank space
lifting your heart
when you feel its sinking
[parallels]
one side is ethereal
the other
it can be daunting
at times
i have no control
[metallic]
I hate it.
I hate that I can’t
prove you wrong
blank space
It’s not the same
You think it is
blank space
I hate that.
[every day]
Please note: trigger warning.
My relationship with you
is not the kindest
You stare at me
Try to control me
blank space
Sometimes you grab me by the throat
leave me gasping for air
blank space
Other times I stare back at you
You cannot reach for me
blank space
We go back and forth
every day.
[same heart, new mind]
I miss you.
I think.
I used to think I missed
The comfort;
The laughter;
The memories
Traced across my skin,
Ingrained in my memory.
blank space
I was wrong.
This time
I do—
I miss you.
blank space
The version of you that I miss
Isn’t there anymore.
Turned into something else
It stares back at me
Without the warmth
It once brought.
blank space
It makes my heart ache
It’s minimal.
Maybe I do
Feel it inside my chest, but
It doesn’t break me anymore.
No longer feels like
A colossal tear
In the very core that keeps me alive.
blank space
I wish I could’ve saved you from hurting me.
