      Love Letters

      Mar 7, 2022

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      So Sudden

      I am near the bottom so close to the light

      tuning the time machine to that last impact.

      The silence you gave and the abundant conversations you lacked.

      The records begin playing the distinct note transporting my mind

      to find, what was left of that part of you.

      Like the night on a red day burning you frozen of the anticipation of nothing.

      Your silence is crushing.

      Feeling the growth of the rage inside just to

      realize, that the words spoken were duplicating.

      A performance with unforgettable pain it is excoriating,

      but I still hang on to everything you said,

      Good or bad I will always forgive you instead.

      A forgiving unconditional I would only do it for you, I just hope I am in your thoughts and in your forgiving too.

      Swimming Through Pavement

      Reversing my movement, I arch my back to a different place in my mind, a place I seek over and over and I still cannot find.

      An isolating path I choose to avoid with my daily distractions, I still seem to find myself.

      Reviving of hidden thoughts consisting of my minds desire,

      I realized you are my fulfillment the love I acquire.

      Stroking my limbs and mind, the light along the rusting carnage that fester with your memories.

      I bask in the satisfying scent of comforting remedies.

      My mind absorbs the thought of you from the weakened
