Sinking Ships


Can somebody

please

tell me

how to fix

this sinking ship?


Because I'm

exhausted.


I've given my all

to bailing out

these frigid waters,

fighting against

the relentless surge.


I waste

every breath,

every thought,

every effort,

to confining

an endless tide.


I cannot stop.


But I'll drown

out here,

cold and alone,

if I don't 

pause,

find the source

and fix

this

broken

vessel.


So teach me how

to plug the gap

before it kills me.

And yet, the world would feel dull, in comparison to her. Even in a thousand lifetimes, hard as I try, I wouldn't ever find a single sight more beautiful than her face, nor a string of words capable of capturing that beauty. Because nothing has ever or will ever be more beautiful to me, than her.

All The Words Are Yours

My favourite poet wrote a book appropriately titled All The Words Are Yours. I used to believe it defined love, at its purest. But recently, I’ve come to accept I was wrong.

All the words are yours; and yet, they're not enough. You make language, limited and insignificant. A failure of linguistics that pales in comparison to the magnificence of you. Give me more words. More letters, more vowels, more meaning and more feeling. So that one day I can find a way to say these words are yours, with love…
