Sunday Best
Just in the thick of healing
You came to me
Amidst repair
In a gust of sunflowers and samsonite
In the quiet of your misplaced affection
There you stood undressed
Without a stitch of armour
Like a wave
You led with clear intentions
Rolled luggage
You pulled into my uncovered surfaces
On wheels made of perpetuity
Carried me home
To the mutter of your embrace
Only to endure the seepage of deeper conversations
The broken pieces
Amid the wildfire
You spoke to me of sensibility
Made of marble and disquietude
Left your troubles at the door
With paper planes to the wind it flew
I carried you for three days
On top of me
Inside of me
My Genesis
Where it all begins
Home in the familiar places you rested
Warmly in my arms
It’s where you lay freely
Like lullabies you are mine
Forever in my mind
Among paintings I painted for you
Among songs we sang in the dark
I can hear the sound
Of your barely beating heart
Angels and skyscrapers
Buried so far from home
While you lay visible and exposed
Butterflies and origami
My piece of heaven
Fallen for you at evening-time
Amid the delay
Without you holes in my soul
You, my seeking gauge
Sought you out
In the lateral corridor of my apartment
I kissed you lightly
Gently on the mouth
My Sunday best
Defenses down
Anchored two feet beneath you
Underneath all the melancholy
The shattered sky
Where oceans collide
I will find you
In the dead of night
Knee deep on the other side
Of second chances
Where it wasn’t supposed to be
Right in front of me
I found you
Forever in my mind
Worlds apart
Either way
Here all along
I am yours

Empty Vessels
Many like the muted soundsResonates the empty chatterOf voided vessels
Stay Amidst
I needed you to stayOn the nights I clamoured at the windWith claws made of tremours
MISREAD
Still, the agony of timeI come to grudge the taste of your return on my lips
