stone by stone
we build a sea

so intent, that

step by step
we forget to be.

for

hand in hand
we both stand small,

to cede the

heart we
can't recall

Literature

lonelier alone

could you bear me out to the edge of doom? would you roam the heights awash in the ether of hope, that which dies last - would you carry me in you, tucked between the other afterthoughts worn smooth by years searching between seas? what of the swash that calls to the wild thundering in my veins, no answering pull of tide to guide the motion of the moon; you reverse causation and so i retrace the way we came but the drift of dunes is the tomb of our unfinished phrases, the diminished haze low on my brow. there is an eighth of aches that play across the slant of my mouth, another treble gliding into a chorus i can’t name from a song played in a thousand hearts but mine

Literature

I never found the spring

I breathed small errings into the crook of your elbow eyes half skewed to the weather scheme Outside, besmirched ink or knife blade in the cusp of light Overcast and breathing, the sanguine morning I whispered small resolutions into the crescent of your pelvic bones, I stammered in the rocks and choked in the foam I never found the spring, lost in tired fronds I left you clues in the seams of your skin, the flesh sore between my teeth Milk and copper permeate the intrepid space our bodies clasp As we ripen and decay

Literature

The Fisherman And The Mermaid

Longing melodies, About lost loves and the sea, buried under waves. Harmony rises, Above the fog and sea foam,Together at last.

Literature

The Sea and the Wind

And when the wind dies... When the last puddle dries up... Still I will love you.

Literature

Mute

And she shut the world away, Lost in her midnight gardens, Where only darkness can bloom... Like fishing lines strung into the depths, My bleeding hands mean nothing. It's all in the hand you were dealt. Some are never able to rise above it, Destined to fall and to fail, Oh, if only I could be; Boundless, endless, eternal... Rough hands tangled in soft hair, Seaweed stitching my lips shut, As the ocean rattles against my bones, The sea shimmering like molten gold; Calling me home.

Literature

Infinity Perhaps

Our galaxy has long been thought to make us small, and to watch the stars is to fixate on the past. Perhaps we belittle ourselves when we put our hopes in the far away and long ago. But if the universe indeed goes on and on, perhaps we're bigger too: expanded by a smaller infinity of versions of us who know better than to shrink the universe to fit the limits of our comprehension. Perhaps it matters.
