Love in a mist

Come, don’t be so timid now

Let us sit by the sea-scented beach

When winds take a higher pitch

And stars a tender fire

Pour your soul into mine 

And let us drink from dusk til dawn

A drink heavenly-made of raindrops and pomegranates

And silver fleurs de lys

Isn’t it our souls’ most delicate delight?

We bathe in the halcyon sea

Carried swiftly by the startled little waves that leap

And I could only feel

The sound of my  heart that beats

Joyfully, awakens from its sleep 

Touch me with your fingertips

Gently like the mist

Hold me tight against your heart

I am a singing bird whose nest lies within your touch

Our hopes are as fragile as dew drops on petals

At the altar of life, we rejoice in our inward love

And sacrifice our fears and doubts

Let’s carve our souls into doves and forget-me-nots

And dye our weary hearts the colours of the lilycups

Teardrops like pearls fell of your eyes 

And My heart skipped a beat to see you cry

You are shivering , like the trembling leaves

When the cold summer wind stirrs

We shall not wither nor wilt my dear

We shall love and kiss

in the mild of love we shall live

Until suns and heavens cease to exist !

Our spirits will remain forever green

Sweet like cherries and blueberries

And gentle like the honey coloured leaves

We obey our hearts when our hearts ask for pleasure

I love you to the depths that my soul can measure!

« what are you so afraid of losing when nothing in this world belongs to you. »

I think of this quote way often, way more than i should.
Every time the sunset is too beautiful, the trees cast the shadows on the streets, and i catch myself missing old versions of me, of how everything used to be .. every time a train passes by and i just stand there, standing still in a world that’s constantly moving forward.

Every time i raise my eyes to the vast deep blue sky and the stars are flickering with light, a passionate light, showering the world with their magic. Every time the moon is following me down a long heavy road from home to home — a feeling I’ll never get used to. Every time i catch a bird doing its little dance in the misty rain and it all feels a bit too good to be true .. every time a familiar face passes next to me on a road busy with people, with life.

Every time i feel safe, scared, hopeful .. every time i feel, i am reminded of how « nothing in this world belongs to me, and i belong to everything. » Of how i have nothing to lose yet everything to experience .. what a wonderful gift it is that none of this grief i carry between the palms of my hands belongs to me, none of this beauty around me belongs to me. I get to live through it all. I get to experience it all.
