mayhap, your fingertips cannot manifest a birth of a star, but darling, dare gleam. inhale your poetries and carve them inside my tongue. breathe to me the universe, breathe for me.

I cling to Saturdays
In fear of it passing by
Like a kid savouring candy —
Returning half to wrapper
Tucking it in the pocket to melt

Double standard
Your ray pains their eyes
They’ll scorn at any flicker
Yet coddle the dark
(@writteninstead)
Exit the parade
What you love will bare themselves
Amid what remains
(@writteninstead)
Trees and bushes brim with ribbons
Some fallen to the path like polka dots
The sun sprinkled on layer of glitter
My heart glows pink and yellow
(@writteninstead)
Like flowers — unfazed,
unreserved to show their grace;
Let your colours bloom.

“Pain talks over other voices
Puts on a tint of dirt
How do you pay attention
With hissing in your ears?”

View it on Instagram
Some of us are a little broken
A crack in the bucket
The faith leaks out
Some of us, filled
before first words
Overflowing and eager
Guess we need each other
Opposites and all
Zelda and Zoe

Merry-go-round
I live life like in a sprint—
A lighted matchstick
Stuffed all of myself in every strike
I could not repeat anything twice
Each day, I become a little less
But dirty dishes and laundry ground me
They taught me that life is ongoing
(They taught me rest)
It is everyday; it is in the breath I take
No matter how sick or tired,
I’d draw in one more breath
So enjoy the ride
In this merry go round
Keeping alive is never wasted time
(writteninstead)
Take breath, find stillness
Sit with the pain
The love you give to your body
It will present itself back to you
As grace, as balance
As strength
