No one knows
the precise moment
when a fantasy
goes from momentous to ordinary
but everyone knows
that desire is part absence,
part acquisition.

I found myself
everywhere I went
and I lost myself
just as often.
It was you and you and you
which took me
the very edge
of my skin
and broke me apart
like a watermelon.
–
Where was I born
and into which darkness
do I nightly succumb?
These little deaths
gather in me
and out of me sprouts
an entirely new way of being.
–
Today I am the sun,
tomorrow the moon
and one day
I will be the flower
in your fist,
the delicate silence
which echoes
between a lover’s confession
and the fatal last kiss.

I just randomly wrote this, took about 2 minutes, no idea where it came from I wasn’t even planning to write a poem just now

Ya gotta love it, when it works that way.
It’s the best =)
So great to see you writing and inspired, I loved this part especially : “It was you and you and you
which took me
the very edge
of my skin
and broke me apart
like a watermelon.”,
but the ending lines are equally evocative, striking, like a big, red heart-stamp.
Thank you, I enjoyed writing that bit. I keep meaning to submit to you but I have been so busy I have not had a chance to just sit still!
I hope it is the positive busy! You know all of mine is an open door to you; magazine is pending Issue 5 which is due in June, so you have plenty of time if you wanted to submit something ❤
