“I have grown to listen
to the waves of my
heart

Not to the ripples
others push through
open waters

The tide is high
the spring inside
is plentiful”
― Yvette Dulo, She Chose to Love

“The sea cleanses
the city's rat race
from my pores

Washes away
the anxiety
of wanting
more

Reminds me I am
not here to stay

And being in love
with the pulse
is all”
― Yvette Dulo, She Chose to Love

“Cosmic Avocado

Then my heart went cosmic

It prodded the thorax,
expanding with every gulp
rhonchi
crackles
wheeze

The ribs hollowed hum
broken through

Swelling and rounding,
an avocado core

Pushing out of its skin,
shedding its
cloak

Didn't consider
slowing
down
until cities grew
miniature
in its curious belly

Now of a planetary
scale

Heartbeats spilling
out of the earth
in waves

Breathing heart that
is searching
for you

Seeking to encompass
you and all the people
it loves
into its beats

It forms a ring
around the planet
to ensure

it can love you,
it can love itself,
it can love all
with every thump

Without searching
any further”
― Yvette Dulo
