“Take care of the people
you love
without expecting
a reward
for being a giving and
caring person.
Otherwise you will end
up living in your big,
beautiful house
alone.
Unknowingly homeless.”

photos of sunsets
a long time ago.
I can never
capture its colours.
The same goes
for you.”

“he laid down his pen
after a few moments.
and there were no marks
on the corner of the page.
where his hand
had been resting.
the ink had run dry.
there was nothing.
nothing left.”

“These days I startle so easily
from my sleep.
My body reacts violently
to waking up, as if it was never
intending to do so.
It’s like that falling nightmare
falling
falling
waking up with a sharp breath
before I hit the ground
and realize that I’m safe.
But maybe I’m only safe
I’m my dreams
and the real fall begins
when I wake.”
