Desiderium

Its been hours since you swept us into a neat little pile on the floor And soon it’ll be a week. You’ll pick up the pieces and let me go. And wrap your trauma up again into something neat. I deserve more than to be a pile that needs sweeping up A heart that cannot …

Enouement

I promise you my darling, your suffering is not in vain; there are things you deserve, beyond this pain. I promise, my love, that this will soon fade and you’ll be miles away, from this sadistic charade. There are beautiful twists and turns, right down this road, soon this chapter will simply be a backstory …

Kalopsia

It’s been a while since I’ve felt this way, like I’d let you break my heart in exchange for a dimpled smile. I’m so much older than I was the last time I made this unreasonable deal with myself. This time, I’m not 14 anymore. I know what boys like you have up their sleeve and …

Orison

They kiss me goodbye, every day Reminding me That laying low for them has never been a choice; Treating people, saving lives is priority; Their jobs, Have always come with a difficult price. Masks, gloves, suits, ventilators, A world map that’s brightly lit; Will any protection ever be good enough Against adversities that seem infinite? …

Gezelligheid

I thought I was too immature to know what love was; but I think I know I feel it when you send tingles all the way to my feet. I didn't know the difference between loving somebody and being in love, until just watching you glance at me took my breath away for a beat. …

Lacuna

Every time I appear, Do you fail to see; That I am so much more, Than just poetry? You dress words in shades , Of what you wanted me to be; I wish you’d stop living Through figments of fantasy, Words can only be so different, From the things you seek for real; But its …

Apricity

There definitely was something special about you, something different, and maybe that's why:Its on nights like these, when my mind manages to escape the locks my brain has so sensibly chained it with.When fear engulfs me deep at night; or when I'm laughing my face off at 3 in the afternoon, all I can think …

Retrouvaille

Sometimes love doesn't conquer all, sometimes hurt and misconceptions come in the way and the pretty bubble bursts.It’s not always a fairytale, it needs the right place; with the right person; at the right time- and we weren’t it for each other. Sometimes, the baggage outweighs the happiness and all you can remember are the …

Absquatulate

I was told I’d cross paths with people who’d give me a reason to live for; and with people who were put there for nothing but lessons; but most queer one of all, I was told I’d cross some paths once, and then never again. How could I have ever known-you’d cross me in all …

Malneirophrenia

If you want to know the millennials Look at the desperation in our eyes; to salvage lost truths from the sea, of selfish, mindless political lies; Who are we but children that Grew up through a spectrum of terror, Into a world where money gets you Further than being honest and clever; Kids who learnt …
