The silence of the night when I rested my head on your shoulder. The night in which the North Pole caught fire melting like a piece of butter on a heated pan.

An African violet beats her eyelashes at me. On my retina a of memories.

Fingertips crackling with energy, I pushed my sister back. “I’ll take care of him.”

She placed herself firmly between us, her vile ex spitting threats our way.

We ignored him.

“Why? What’s your ?”

I grin. “Freedom.”

“His?”

“He can rot. I meant yours.”

The heart isn’t just muscle. It has an ulterior Sometimes it attacks, causing death or a bypass. Sometimes it drums to a wild beat, increasing panic or fright. Sometimes it flutters, and we fall in love. My heart just broke. And it tricked my eyes into crying.

There’s no offence,
No regrets in my heart,
I have never asked,
For stars from the sky,
And our love needs,
No limelight no
My love just come back,
That’s enough..
The world won’t spin,
Without you,
Take my hands,
Walk with me,
And become my breath..

You wanted to live in the for so long.
Now you live in the spotlight.
The lights are blinding, the attention exhausting, & the privacy you took for granted has gone.
Attempts to kill or hurt you send you into hibernation.
You live the hermit's life unknown.

Poignant
raw words cut deep.
Truth bleeds with a tinge of
laughter and a weep.
Life’s paradoxes
seep into our consciousness.
Birthdays remind of us our
circular nature.
You are not alone traveling around the sun.
Alone with 8 billion companions.

gentle feathery breaths
winged on mind's eye

soar in arms of cerulean loneness
glid'g through zephyr of musings

I sail on mist of recollections
birthing each day
ending with nostalgia relived

I nestle with solitude,wonted
promising twigs of your reminiscences

Infinite memories
Fixed upon earth
Circling a single star
The universe
Holds the secrets
Of existence
In
Hidden within
The elements

Winter solstice

Cakes and mulled wine

A walk in the woods

And all will be fine

"Strange" said the time-traveller "Can you see the pretty, shiny red fruits on that tree? All the birds seem to be ignoring it & eating the pale, brown ones instead"
"That's instinct, to smell poison by beauty" said the hermit "Sadly one we seem to mostly lack"

I remember Yule night
Cold and dark
When Krampus carved
His cursed mark

My soul burned
My mortality murdered
Death’s lessons learned

My heart fought a barrage of emotion
Now I walk beside this demon cloven
He’s claimed my dark devotion

So well suited they said,
A perfect couple,
The tall handsome man,
And the fairy face girl,
Five long years,
He stayed away,
And still an empty heart,
Family
Folks whispered,
When he passed by,
The printed scarf,
Around his wrist,
He was out,
For her tonight..

There’s places in this world,
Where Little girls
Are scared to grow up,
Regions where
Daughters are sold
On a place
They call marriage,
But there’s also
Places in this world
Where promiscuity
Is called freedom..
Such a big world
But still no safe place for us..

I am too lazy to sleep, just soft and languid with you by my side
But perhaps I can make the journey if you act as my
You could my I could lay
safely d in your arms; encased in your sobriety

Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day, but teach him to live on an ember of hope for vengeance, and he'll never starve.

Sometimes he'll wish he could, but he won't.
