Dawn disclosed it –

Light from an honest butter sky

Reveling in a freelance body next to me,

With our fragrant attraction

As dried up

As an Atacamian kiss.

 

I put in me

Sweet, sweet whiskey

Sweet scorned man.

 

Back then, under the accents

And sweet reprieve of street swept skies

We had clinked our glasses several times

In mome...

Animal Suicide

I tell you

I'll love you no matter what.

 

I don't care what they think, 

fuck their approval. 

 

And yet I find myself, 

crawling back.

Plagued with naive hope,

self-loathing weakness. 

 

A bird plucking its own feathers

I saw the emerald sea

 

There was a humid haze between myself and the never-ending valley

With pollen speeding fast into my eyes from air-rushed...

It’s the depth of my emotion,

As deep as the deepest ocean.

 

Your souls light shines blue,

As if you’re a brand new you.

Your thoughts are becoming clear,

Every time you come near.

 

This connection will never be broken,

It will last forever my dear.

For there is an answer and it is clear,

Our twin fla...

Do We Loose Attraction From The One We Love?

Yesterday I was looking at my flaws in mirror.

I realised.

At times, I don't feel like talking to the person I say I love.

At times, I won't wish to spend time with him.

At times, I won't wish to look at his sparkling eyes.

I felt, I lost attraction.

I felt, maybe it was one another crush to which I gave the name of love.

Then I noticed that there are times when we won't like ...
