From the book "Solitaire" (2014) by Alice Oseman. You know, I prefer to be a linguist than a poet.

"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.

I walked out of the house,

found a dime,

looked at the time,

"Oh dayum, it's 9",

Should I keep this? not the dime,

the rhyme,

Well, the poem's mine, so that's not a crime.

I did a toss,

Heads: I go to the coffee house first.

Tails: I take a bus and hear the screams of my boss.

Well, I slapped my head and uttered:"You think too much, Ross."

tip-toed to get a cappuccino,

ran to the shop across the street,

Ah ! the lady in white satin—

well, the dime was right,

*sighs again* Oh! gosh.

I sat at a table in front of her,

watching her satiny hands holding the spoon stir.

the waiter comes up and asks,

"what would you like to have, monsieur?"

I smiled and replied,

"what she's having, that's the thing I would prefer."

I waited,

but the hasty legs wouldn't stop playing clavier.

her lips enveloped around the edge of the cup.

with the bell of the church ringing in the background.

i felt god answer my prayer.

she raised her pupils while sipping,

my heartbeat joined the hasty legs

& sung a song about death stare.

She smiled, looking at me like a squirrel.

I made a move towards her in the midst of my inner quarrel.

She offered her hands,

My head bowed down in respect,

planted a kiss, revived chivalry.

after that, my lips all felt floral.

We exchanged names.

Ah, the dreamy me,Ross weds Eurus.

she pinched me with a kiddish smile,

brought me back to reality,

I realised we were walking on the road,not the aisle.

I switched sides and started walking on the outer part.

she noticed the caring me & I said to myself,

"That's a good start."

she got scared and held my hands when a prankster screamed,

her fingers filled the gap between mine,

the way life keeps breathing under the shelter of art,

her open hairs being teased by winds,

the sun chasing her grim,

rest of the world cherishing the walking springs,

I felt like the luckiest man alive.

I won't lie;

I promised my mother to stay sober

but her eyes served espresso like the finest drink.

If poets were anything but human we would be

a i r

all-encompassing yet seldom heard and less often seen

only remembered by those who have paused— felt the weight of our collective whispers and allowed themselves to be moved

Do not go gentle into that good night ~Dylan Thomas

Just a quick piece of work. I love doing the angry writing with a touch of despair.

Grief, on a Tuesday

.

So many things may be subject to grief and often grief itself goes unnoticed. I was inspired to write this piece from random lines o jotted down while observing my own grief on a random Tuesday. It is haunting to imagine this is following me into eternity but comforting in a strange way; unwanted company is company all.the same.

My Beloved, this torture and pain

by Abu-Said Abil-Kheir

English version by Vraje Abramian

Original Language Persian/Farsi

My Beloved, this torture and pain

I suffer because I am so addicted to Your Beauty.

People ask me whether I prefer Your

company to being in heaven.

Heedless fools, what would heaven itself mean

without the Friend's Presence?

[A poetry collection that follows on from 'Love Notes: A Collection']

.

"Sometimes a light gets through and I remember how it was before..."

— Venice May 🎶

A fitting lyric to describe a collection that threads together themes of love, ghosting and limerence.

Seaside

We sat on seaside, wrapped in each other's arms,

I could feel his warmth

Obsessed with the sunset

I recalled the sunset, which put our relationship onset

That day and today, everything's changed, but not the love, which forever remained...

We sat on a seaside, waves coming towards us, washing our feets

This is the story of our every meet

Water takes away the sand under my feet

He holds my hand, tight and firm, and this repeats

We sat on a seaside, watching the sunset, wrapped in arms...
