“in the afterglow
of an evening rain

i lay down
in the grass
and think of you

my body aches
like an after-kiss

breaking in soft fires
and wildflowers

my dear,
i will always be
this tender for you.”
― Sanober Khan, A Thousand Flamingos

“She loves him so
but he didn't stay.
The wind can't blow
this storm away.”
― Phoebe Stone, Romeo Blue
