There’s a quiet strength in vulnerability. I might feel exposed, but I’m not drowning. I’m not ashamed to admit I’ve spent much of my life running away from myself. But it’s never too late to embrace vulnerability. Bear with me as I learn to accept mine—because the artist in me is still here. #art
unmoored—putting me in mind
of the sea;
niggling into

clear air
  filling my chest—t o u c h i n g
my skin as if through me—
a zephyrean wind

leafing through my aether
  so lambent, so lustrous
you appear to me—
petal-shaped eyes,
 full lips
resting upon mine;
clamped together are two hearts,
withered and weathered,
trembling upon words
rustling like the finest feathers—

to take in a full breath
 of life—

so, you.

the truth of life left me l i v i d,

fury,
fervour—
and in its s l i p s t r e a m

she pressed his hand
upon her own wound
softening
the scar—
a mutual strength;

she harboured
moonlight in her bones,
preserving
the p a r t s of her
that love
without regret—
tenderness
to his

their faces
changed before their eyes—
the b a r e n e s s of their pain,
rock bottom
bitter truth,
parsimonious g e s t u r e s
in the depth of winter—
a l l u s i o n s of warmth
escaped them;
deeper
and deeper
in their minds—
they s i n k.

for a m o m e n t in time—
in the quiet yearning
of their s o u l;
his silhouette in the dark,
reflecting his breath,
her scent—held in his m e m o r y—
and how they lingered,
how they wished
u p o n
each other.

nothing so strong
as her tenderness—
nothing so tender
as her quiet strength.

but she’s a mess—
a beautiful mess,
who turned her pain
into a m a s t e r p i e c e.

there are storms
in her eyes,

a wound b e n e a t h
the bandage—
i carve tunnels into
my own f e a r s
instead of stepping into

burrow my way out

to stand in storm
of spring, to go into oneself,
to s p r e a d roots
into your soul;
to touch what i feel
and what i love
with a l l senses;

to slip into pockets
of loss, and come back
to the place where life
f l o w s:

to you.

belonging need not be

let it be the thread
  we choose to w e a v e—
 soft as silk,
  strong as steel.
