A Breath At Last

 


I stayed wide awake, so the monsters that lurk
Stayed at bay in the shadows, away from the work.
Lived like the world spun solely on me,
That if I faltered, it all would break free.
Saving everyone, everywhere but here—
Until my body whispered, let me breathe, my dear.

And when I tried to voice this ache,
Every word met with a subtle shake—
"What even happened? Why do you dwell?
See her and him; they’re doing well."
They speak of forward, but I’m in reverse,
Caught in the pull of a buried curse.

How could I move, when chased by it all,
With memories that rise and voices that call?
If only my mind could unclench and release
The images haunting me, denying me peace.

Lost in my fantasies, I felt alive,
Where imagination and dreams could thrive—
Unchained and unclaimed, untouched, unknown,
A sanctuary carved where I was my own.

So now, for a while, a hermit I’ll be,
Letting my mind and body breathe free.
I am learning to pause, to let the world spin,
To find solace within and start fresh again.

The Spotted Cucumber

  One fine day, tired of "always my way," I reached for comfort, or maybe just a craving. Picked up a spotted cucumber— Seemed harmless enough, so why not? But the moment I touched it, it pricked. Unwanted timber in my hands, Yet I let it be—what else could I do? Hunger led me to peel its layers, Only to find the filth it hid underneath. Worms writhing where freshness should be, Rot, disguised as something nourishing. I thought it was doing me a favor, But all it did was make me sick. Never knew comfort could leave such a taste— Bitter enough to spill my guts out. Next time, I’d rather reach for something rich, Something warm, indulgent, and worth my time. A smooth, chocolaty éclair— Rather than ever go for such a comfortable, unhealthy affair.

Us Two

  As the hands struck two… Can you feel my hands on you? The power of the universe with just us two I am so into you. Who’s counting the minutes? Only we know what we brew. Even if the world fades to dark, We shine brighter in our spark. Your lips brush my nape, Undoing the shyness of my drapes. As your fingertips trace me, I melt like that slice of brie.

Temptress

  I wanna be your temptress, Get you down on my mattress. You be the king, I'll be your empress. I already have a clear purpose, You can trace every curve and surface. I've got one mission for you— Are you built for the secret service? Let me take a bite of that apple, Can you make me pray without taking me to the chapel? They call me a wolf, but I will bear your saddle, Make me howl like the moon's lone disciple. Either play this like a boring game of Scrabble, Or get your armor on and be ready for a passionate battle.
