What do you want to be?

a safe space. You can tell me anything, you can crumble, you can fall apart in my arms. a comfort. what do you need? a hug, a solution, a confession? my arms are open. a light. and know my love does not change; it is not dependent on your grief. I can wipe your tears. a truth. do not apologize for living, my love. I will take your worries and wrap them in the earth.

I will hold you

on sunlit grass, on a dying planet, on the grounds of our love

and we can whisper the secrets of the universe

light on dark. destination. journey. from whence we came. to such we will return.

but none of it will be as sweet as your fingers in mine.

Maybe, just maybe, in another universe we were meant to be.

Then maybe there would be an us

instead of just

a you

and

a me.

Admiration

-

I've spent countless hours,

Trying to arrange words

In a way that would be worthy of you.

To say you leave me speechless

Is an understatement of dire proportion.

How do I tell you to spill my blood

On the thorns that lie at your feet-

So that my essence may soften your path;

Tell you to tangle me in your branches,

The sharp and the broken.

Let me experience the memories

That brought the Devil before me-

What words can bring this longing,

This desire,

This love,

This everything,

Justice?

I'll return to my work,

With memories of your voice.

The forbidden ideas of your touch.

And the impossible task

Of creating something-

Anything,

That could even come close

To standing in your image.

The day I stopped waiting for you

I waited for you at the banks of the river

the one that’s made of gold and coal

I waited for you at the banks of the river

I was almost 36 years old.

I waited for you at the banks of the river

my vision clouded, I couldn’t see

that on these golden, wondrous river banks

stood an age-old willow tree

I waited for you at the banks of the river

and in time, you taught me to see

though it felt like a wind;

and I shivered of cold

my heart had to stretch and got paper thin

I waited for you at the banks of the river

then I realized that you were there

I waited for you at the banks of the river

i learned that you’re one with the air,

I waited for you at the banks of the river

You’re of power that pumps in my heart

then you helped me to see

that inside of this tree

were millions of glimmers of art

I waited for you at the banks of the river, though, I’d never have to wait,

cause through the wind and the glimmers of leaves, you said you had come to stay.

I waited for you at the banks of the river

you said; «I’ll never leave you again

now I am your true companion

I am your dearest, closest friend.»

Written for my father’s funeral

✨12/12/2023✨

Rest in Peace dad. I know I promised you to build a beautiful life here on Earth now that you are gone, and I promise that I will stay. I promise I will stay and do everything in my power to open my heart for Love and Joy. Please never leave me. Please be my Angel, right there, right beside me every single moment of my life. For I cannot live without you. Stay in my heart. Never leave me. I love you more than anyone. I love you.

God help me leave my heart open so that I may always feel his love and his presence.

piece together

my patchwork soul

select each emerald thread

sew, with care, and intent to mend

the parts where love leaves holes

znam svaku crtu tvog lica

dobro je pamtim i ponekad zamisljam u glavi

i onda se sjetim da ne bi trebala

jer necu da se zaljubim, rekla sam

ali zelim da te volim

vrijedan si i ljubavi i patnje

samo cekaj da skupim komade srca davno rasute

kad ih sklopim u cjelinu

volit cu te jace nego iko ikad.

ako budes tad, htio da te volim

obecavam ti da hocu.

the boy i love is nice with his word.

the boy i love is rough with his hand.

if he chose, he would make me a sheath for his sword.

if he chose, he would rip out my gland.

for barking too excited when he got home.

for being too delighted when we're alone.

cause good dogs don't show their fangs even smiling.

cause good dogs should try to be better even while dying.

you blamed the dog for having canines.

"I could recognize him by touch alone, by smell; I would know blind, by the way his breaths came and his feet struck the earth. I would know him in death, at the end of the world".

— The song of Achilles by Madeline Miller.

He asked me, what is your favorite color?

And I looked at him, and words filled my heart. I wanted to say

Purple; like the light bruises beneath your eyes. A shaded lavender of midnight thoughts.

You haven’t been sleeping, have you – you know you could call and I’d pick up, no matter the hour; I would tell you stories until your mind gave you rest. I would, for you…

Or green. When your eyes catch the sunlight and turn into a golden gaze, flecked with voiceless words, and my knees tremble. I wish I could fold that look into an envelope; carry it in my pocket, take it out to save me from my tears. Or maybe

Black. Like your hair. The curls I have to stop myself from tucking behind your ears; I hold my own hand to keep still.

your voice is edged in silver. I think your laugh is yellow, love; when you cried and I took your hand, it was turquoise, a cloud of weighty blue, and I wanted nothing more than to stay with you and your electric touch. I could dry your tears if you would let me, pools of cobalt in my hands.

But you are still looking at me from across the table, and I smile.

I’m not sure, I say. Orange is nice, I guess.

Sometimes I do wonder, it comes in passing dreams throughout days such as this one, that my parents would be happier if they had no children. I can envision them with an aura of freedom and happiness that have not found with me here. That if I could go back in time and tell them not to have children. Not because I don’t want to be born but so that they can be truly happy. In those dreams I see, they are the happiest with no children. A joy I can’t seem to give them no matter what I do.

I feel so beautiful in your eyes

the way they hold me so softly, adoration etched in the soft curve of your smile

our bodies gravitate towards each other: hands, legs, arms, feet, I don't care I just want to be close to you

when you hold me, I feel as though I am standing on solid ground for the first time

your embrace like the only oasis I have ever known, as if life is a desert and everyone else was just a mirage

I grew so used to swallowing sand that I forgot how water tasted but you have brought me to the river and let me quench my thirst

and by that I mean you encourage me to finish a story when I stop out of fear it is boring you, and you listen to every word

even in the interruptions I know you still want to hear how it ends

I am so used to fawning in conversation, never able to get a word in edge-wise anyway, but you carve out space for me to speak

you praise me as intelligent and talented and beautiful even when I do not see myself as such, and you proclaim it to the world , shutting down my imposter syndrome every time it comes out to play, making sure I know that you see my worth

I can only hope my love is enough in return, for it is all yours, if you will have it
