Reading this left to right hits differently.

so soft it hurts

[within-the-last-minute]

stay safe because i like being alive at the same time as you.

In the times of great chaos, I shall find my peace.

[afallenlaureate]

My memory still traces your outline.

And even if I try to pause it,

Your voice finds a way to replay.

Your laughter invades my dreams,

And your shadow

Stalks me.

I have never once searched for another being,

But my soul

Cannot stop craving yours,

And I fear I will be forced

To bury bits of myself

To appease it

In your absence.

Nikos Kazantzakis, from a letter featured in The Selected Letters of Nikos Kazantzakis

also a poem from the new, unreleased collection. very possibly my own all-time favourite.

[citate]

It seems like a simple path you just have to follow.

But what do you do when, all of a sudden, it splits and you're forced to choose?

What do you do when you realize that maybe you didn’t pick the right way?

Do you turn back, hoping to escape the reality you’re in, or do you keep going, trying to endure despite the obstacles?

Sometimes, there is no way back.

Be careful with the choices you make in life.

Something I wrote to little me

[two-bees-poetry]

twenty years across the sea

[sanjogsonsand]

There is something about the sound of rain brings peace to the heart but also a quiet sadness. When it rains it reminds me of the past of moments that once felt so alive.

When I saw the weeping willows moving slowly with the wind suddenly I am taken back to a time when life felt more simple.
