Put out my eyes

Put out my eyes, and I can see you still,

Slam my ears to, and I can hear you yet;

And without any feet can go to you;

And tongueless, I can conjure you at will.

Break off my arms, I shall take hold of you

And grasp you with my heart as with a hand;

Arrest my heart, my brain will beat as true;

And if you set this brain of mine afire,

Then on my blood-stream I yet will carry you.

Rainer Maria Rilke

She pierces my heart With its warm thorns A cloud of petals On which my ear Rests passionately

— Mandie Poésie

What we have nobody has to understand but you and me.

I looked at everyone and wondered where they came from, and who they missed, and what they were sorry for.

Appreciate those people that willing to give you time especially in the morning, some people are struggling waking up in the morning because they’re a night person or something. It’s a big deal for them. Respect everyone’s time and effort just to prove something to someone.

Keep Safe Please (WIP)

Like a light in the dark you came to me

You were perfect as far I could see

A smile so warm and laugh to match

Eyes so full you were such a catch

But I wasn't anything to you

It was something that I always knew

I wish that meant it wouldn't hurt

But truthfully that’s not how these things work

I’m standing at the station

the train collapses a few kilometres away.

How is it you're so ensconced with the darkness of earth, when I sit here like your moon gushing with the light of your infinite worth?

LONELINESS

Just one more lonely night,

and I always want something

else than this cold darkness.

don’t get in a fight with a safety pin

of of you’s sharper and clearly will win

when safety pin fighting you’ve nothing to gain

don’t fall for it’s trickery leading to pain

you’ll surely regret it whenever it’s done

so remember that safety pin fighting ‘s no fun

Last November.

I’m told you’re out there, Heart of hearts, love true, I am told you are out there, And I must have faith, And effort must be made, Nothing worth having is easy, And so I put in the effort for you.

But how much until I am worthy enough? How much blood do I spill before I know your name? How many bones do I cast into flame, to hear your voice? How much sweat off my brow, before I see you?

As I am now, Must not be worthy of you, That is the only thing that makes sense, And through effort I must change, To be better, for you my love, To be worthy of you, And yet, my blood runs low, And my bones grow brittle, And I fear no amount of effort, Will lift my lowly visage to your sight.

And as I  make my last gasps, As my heartbeat slows, I hear someone say, That I should be loved as I am, And my last words, a laugh, How foolish, such a notion of love, I would tell you of it if I  were worth hearing. Perhaps next time around I’d be worth you, I would love, if once in some lifetime, I’d finally know, what you are, my love.

A better person

underneath the undertow

trying to rise up

fighting for breathe and more strength

still willing to be rescued.

he walks the old path,

mournful steps in morning light—

a reconciled soul

I've fallen in love. Not with you, but with life.
