you make me feel brand new when i’m with you I feel like i can walk the span of the continents in just a few steps and i can reach as high as the sun without ever burning my fingers i feel a new power inside my heart and my head one that makes me want to give you the sweetest things the earth has to offer and take you by the hand as i pick stars from the sky to store in my pockets like loose ch...

It is not for you to catch all the fires that find theirflight to Guernica | the cinder settles on the paletteafter being coughed from the lung, this was yourhome, that which was swelling on the pasture ofeach breath you struggled to unearth | how manyhours were lost with the gazania now sharing theafterlife with the woven blanket laced by the bentfingers of your sleeping grandmother who did no...

We're the midnight daydreamers Leaving trails in the skyThe downtrodden believers Quick to fall for a lie But hold on for tomorrow Take a risk for the light Learn to grow from the sorrow Like the day from the night

When did you realize that everything falls apart if you just tug at one loose thread? How did you know to just let it be, not to question, not to pull? Did that Beatles song tell you or is it just a lesson that each one of us needs to learn in our time?

They're meeting.They're chatting.They're laughing.They're liking.They're understanding.They're leaning.They're kissing.They're goodbye-ing.He's calling.She's answering.He's thanking.She's rejoicing.He's offering.She's agreeing.He's planning.They're scheduling.They're remeeting.They're enjoying.They're questioning.They're debating.They're compromising.They're delighting.They're relocating.They'...

Does lying beside you count as lyingIf I’m imagining someone elseIn your place?Why do I feel so aloneWith your hand on my hipAnd your gaze fixed on my eyes?I tell you that I love you;How am I supposed to say otherwiseWhen you’re so close and everyone elseIs so far away?

On the edge of everything falls        the sea  breaking and retreating walls               green tumblings   white withdrawalsThe shocked wind moans and cries                     bracken hums and sighs                            over cliff   salt foam fliesWith the breakers' loud soughing                   I hear their hiss advancing                              I hear the stones' undoing

Sometimes, I find myself gasping for air,tossed about by waves,struggling to stay afloat.I am overwhelmed.All it takes is one final wave to crestbefore I am plunged into the depthsof my psyche,being pulled to wherethe deceptively calm cerulean of the surfacegradates into navy.It feels as though my ankle is tetheredto the ocean floor by a ropeand that rope is getting shorter,or perhaps it is bei...

You did that.Did what?Did that.That?You took your dreamsand flew,you said "no more",took your life,and reclaimed itas yours.You held your head high,cut off ties that strainedyour soul, and learnt how to bealone.I don't like to be alone.No one does, but you faced the mirror.Reflected; deflected everything,what servedand what didn't.You are connected;redirected on your soul paththat awaitsfor you...

My vagus nerve has notches carved into it,you can almost hear them creak when I move.Every layer is built of everyone that's made my pulse quicken,micromoments of frequencies of love that scaffold the path between my head and my heart.Parts of it you can loose your fingers in,it's both sweet and sticky to the touch,the kind of honey that's seductive until you realise you're drowning in it.Other...

If you ever can't find me, run into the sea at sunset, dive under and stay there until your lungs begin to tremble.What's the first place you think of when your head breaks the ocean's womb and you breathe again for the very first time?Hike into the desert at night and let the constellations be your GPS.Where do you end up when the dawn finally eclipses the last star you see?Close your eyes and...
