I like poetry.

For a while I have been writing poems—in
my notes app, in the margins of note books.
I find it helps in processing emotions, and
in saving those fleeting thoughts that would
go unnoticed otherwise.

Its kinda like journaling but more pretentious.

Anyways, here are a few I've made.
I hope you like them.




Flower Bud

Hold tight my limbs like flower bud
In bed I cry, the dew of morning,
On soft porcelain petals,
Thrust out, like vivid dream,
Into the softer warmth of Spring




My body, the temple

Tear down the alter
Dispel the household gods
And turn the chalice upside down
Spill the wine which turns the floor crimson
A sticky red, wade through it
Through that river Styx
To the chancel
