The Moments Between Giggling Beginnings
The moments between giggling beginnings
& sobbing peripheries.
My body got well aquainted
with your amber touch,
now remains unbothered in the alleyways
of fading emotions.
My heart remained sangfroid in
your presence,
even when the entire edifice was on fire,
but now me and my little heart burn
in your longing.

Casted shadows are beautiful until they're casted by your memories, or traumas. Who would dance in the shadows casted by nightmares?

“Lesbos” by Sylvia Plath, from Winter Trees, originally published in 1971
"We have a choice. We can embrace our humanness, which means embracing our broken natures and the compassion that remains our best hope for healing. Or we can deny our brokenness, forswear compassion, and, as a result, deny our own humanity"
Bryan Stevenson
For the first time in this lifetime, i felt miles of distance and an inch away closeness, in the same moment. Your mere words were enough to clutch my heart & make it bleed. You opened the gates with a volcanic force, slit my heart & went away in the morning light, and i longed just for another sight.

When the sky gets painted, everyone keeps moving, but we stop and stare, we hold hands & our eyes constantly at the sky.
