our home basks in a twilight
the shade of wicker baskets, soft
is the crisscross of lighter thoughts
hatching from my father’s hand.

Sihaya, in truth, if you still take my lips to be
true. we were the ones that drowned
ourself. inside us, autumn lived on, unturned
in a state of perpetual animation. here, we rise
and here, we fall.
listen, hear. beloved, our spines
heave with the burden that is love.

here are the stillwaters of silence.
safari whispers efflorscencing
branching into skies of earth, streaked
with birth.

I feel when I read these poems, in a serene, zen-like environment just appreciating the simplicity in the short bite-sizeness of the pieces, but also the beauty in them.

here, we rise
and here, we fall.
listen, hear


Love it! <3

let's break bread, hold my hand
please. let the warmth remain
for just a while longer,
just a while longer until the sun sets.

until it dips below the horizon
full of sweet longing, love, this is my heart
and the silences that bloom, aerated,
unspoken are the pockets of words
i hand to you.

i want you to feel the warmth there, yet
i have held it the furthest from my heart.

I didn't want to slow time, I just wanted to make a little rock.
