Moment Before the Moment

A poem on what love feels like between the moments — The way she is looking back at you before exiting the room. How she breathes when she’s so close that it’s calming your soul. The white sound of her hairdryer when she’s in the bathroom. The never-ending hair that goes into your face when you’re sleeping together. I was sensitive…

Pour Some Sugar On This Poem

My heart is tucked under your pillow — I used to think people are always against me, what a horrible way to live within my mind. But then, I realized they’re just against themselves, what a horrible way to live in their minds as well. Such paradoxical compatibility to struggle with the same demons as your enemy. A…

The Violent Poem That Hit My Head

The walls are made of stone and fathers are made to disappear — While I tried to accept myself My father kept saying “always be prepared!”. I never understood, what was I supposed to be prepared for? Until one day he hit me in the stomach, I wasn’t prepared, I cried. He started mumbling about how you should be prepared for anything, About…

The Wise Imaginary Friend

Where do you go when you need love? — I had this imaginary friend, I was always summoning him up. I used to ask him “Where do you go when you need love?” He would never reply, he was just sitting there, wiping out my tears and watching me filling myself with alcohol, substances, suicidal thoughts. As I was…

The Grocery List Filled With Ink

A poem filled with nothing — Let’s delve together into our minds. Do you see the nightmares, the grocery list, the demons? They are all in there, together, I just can’t separate them. Would you pick up my grocery list? …

One More Dose of Love

Day 19: Love is multifaceted — Break my bones and hit my head onto the walls of your heart. Let me die in your soul knowing that, I used to live there. Do you see these pyramids? They are all made of our feelings! Give me the best version of yourself, just like when you’re looking for…

Hope Should Always Be Mysterious

If you know you’d be saved in the end. Would you still fight? — A very controversial question, if may I say. What do we refer to when we ask it? From my personal experience, when I have been put in this situation, I must admit, my integrity was not always 100%. But it really depends on the context. If we talk about a…

In Jail With Cronos

If the time machine was invented today, what would you do? — I think that a time travel machine would be the most vicious thing to ever be created and handed to people. Think about it, if everyone could time travel anytime, the world would be in a constant loop of the past. Everyone would try to go back to their moments…

Love Me Slowly

Do you willingly take risks, knowing you might fail regarding matters of love? — I want to love you slowly, and in hell, because, everyone can love you in heaven. I want to love you powerfully, and in pain, because, everyone can love you superficially. I want you to consume me, drain me of all my love, and then find out that my love is infinite…

Genuine Love Means Empathy

At the level of humanness, we see right and wrong as guide markers. At what point or level do we no longer see right and wrong? — As I crossed the street, I saw you, trying to smile out of politeness, You easily scratched your neck as you were starting to feel disturbed. He was not going to stop judging your actions, your reactions, He saw everything you did wrong and absolutely nothing you did well.
