i don't dance anymore
not like i used to
life gave me a love to dance
then took away the reason
j.c.g
These I have loved
A great tall girl, full of blue
Inviting lips, sweet to the eye but never tasted
Glasses that were black but now are pink
A voice of the ocean, Like waves hitting the breakwater
Of hair so perfect, Aphrodite should blush
A figure akin to the sun setting on the horizon
A connection so deep, the ocean has nothing on it
The future that lights up my nighttime
A conversation of Apple's and taste
Two people so together- hot and cold water
The sound of soothing poetry
A great tall girl
Yes,
These I have loved
It's silence I crave, it's why I swim
The weight of water
Over me
Around me-
The safe silence of submergence.
At the waters edge I may be ugly,
But underwater, we are made equal And
When I speak strokes
I Am Beautiful.
-Adaptation of my favourite book, the weight of water by Sarah Crossan
Memory does not count distance
Nor days or month's
Time illuminates memory
Memory is pain
So judge me not when I think of you
Memories turn my blood red
Turn it into ink
This ink is What speaks to you now
Bleeding is a slow dance
Slow dance between survival and death
If I told you that the medication for my condition
Is you
What would you do?
Don’t Take Anything Personally. Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering
“I have no enemies, but my friends don’t like me.”
— Philip Larkin
