Alaska Gold is a Spanish girl, trying to write one true sentence at a time. She believes poetry is the result of coming up with a great idea, only to realize you’re not committed enough to write a whole novel about it. She’s learning it’s okay to live a life no one understands. Most of all, she’s learning to exist.

“He carries stars in his pockets
because he knows
she fears the dark.
Whenever sadness pays her a visit
he paints galaxies
on the back of her hands.”
Alaska Gold, Growing Light

“She met a boy
and called him Stargazer
because instead of poems
he recited the names of constellations.


He said the freckles on his arms
were roadmaps to the sky,
and the bruises that he carried
were supernovas in disguise.

"Stargazer”
Alaska Gold, Growing Light

“If the boy who draws
lets you look over his shoulder.
If the poet
smiles
and shows you her words.
If the girl who sings for the shower only,
hums a song
in front of you.
Know that you’re no longer a person
but the air
and dust
that fills their lungs.
When the world perishes,
and all things cease to exist,
you’ll remain inside an ink stain,
a paint brush,
a song.

Poem N. 8”
Alaska Gold, Growing Light

“I'll make you so in love with me, that everytime our lips touch, you'll die a little death.”
Ai Yazawa

“We all have an old knot in the heart we wish to untie.”
Michael Ondaatje, The Cat's Table

“She had grown older. And he loved her more now than he had loved her when he understood her better, when she was the product of her parents. What she was now was what she herself had decided to become.”
Michael Ondaatje, The English Patient

“...the heart is an organ of fire.”
Michael Ondaatje, The English Patient

“Her hand touched me at the wrist. "If I gave you my life, you would drop it. Wouldn't you?"

I didn't say anything.”
Michael Ondaatje, The English Patient
