  A Poetic Thought: All The Reasons

  I love you for strange reasons Its the way your eyes rest on mine Or perhaps it’s the way you hold your hands As though they’re weightless appendages Your dry sense of humor And the way you laugh at your own jokes Your cynical nature coated in sunshine But most importantly… I love you because…

  Riddles

  With my mind I try to unravel The questions I never cared to address? Holes that led to nowhere? Inquisitive faces that point to unsolved riddles You hide from me Running reluctantly but moving further and further away none the less Your brown hair is shinning like brink red fire in the sunshine A chair…

  To Love

  To try and try till better days come To love in-spite of potential pain Grasping onto roses and risking the bite of thorns To reach for dreams that few can see To believe and hope with the wind in your hair Moving to uncharted places for the sake of love To set sail for a…

Where we once held hands and made plans that never came into fruition. But my heart longs for you still. Love always, Esha <3

A missile ready to explode on…

  Bold Heart

  Image by efes from Pixabay The feeling dissipates But I still remember the warmth  I still crave the moment  Looking for the next opportunity  To be gathered up in caring arms  To be told that I will be kept  Safe from harm  To be well thought of  And loved in return  My heart awaits the chance of exchanging the…

  Steel Toes

  The snow falls like crumpled pieces of off white construction paper On a frigid landscape of charcoal concrete and yellow dashes At the bus stop bench sits a gray haired man In a tan, burly coat smoking a cigarette with a withered hand It has seen the passage of time Held doors open for lovers,…
