To comfort and heal with the magic of poetry and art from the ♥️
Me, at times, wanders by myself
On known lanes, or some unknown tracks
Me, at times, can’t get out of mazes
Me, at times,
trapped
in the mid of a monsoon rain.
We, at times, wander by ourselves
The lane you know, me not
Buildings you drew and songs you shared
Or vice versa, some sounds of the day
(Submitted by Jennifer)
In the bleak
we make our own fire;
there is no need
to lose hope
While the world leaves me cold
and blue, I seek to you
like sitting close
a fireplace, you put
back warmth in my fingertips
It is not important — the reasons
we are the way we are this moment
At this instance I only know
we are tearing at each other
I, compressing at air
You, forcing a shape out of fire
My job is not to fix you
Nor you for me
As you are born to be free
And me, to set the city on fire
I trace along the curve of your neck
(Please never leave me)
Touch my lips to the your crown
(Please never leave me)
Breathe in the scent of your cheeks
(Please never leave me)
Draw circles in on your arms
(I love you, please never leave me)
And I see myself
Doing things I’d never
Believe
I could do
Not even for myself
I see me perform
Easily
For you
When it is so dark
You cannot see
Reach beside you
And I’ll be there
Pain is a strange thing
Full of lies, it will be
Painting stories of tragedy
you will learn to believe
Into the role, perfectly
Pushing at you, screaming
Crying. A disgusting mess of
Madness and grief
Sorry I let the poison of pain
Swallow me; I forgot to see
Every time I clawed at you,
You’ve only responded with love
I know I like to question
Mark our differences in red
Remarks: People are drawn to the similar
But underlying I think I know
We are more akin than not
Note-to-self: disparity is only louder
I wrote a letter
added a tune
maybe the birds
could sing it to you
well,
there’s not much written
it was only three words
in the middle of the paper
“i miss you”
