“When I Was Five, I Burned My Hand On The Stove My Mother Never Warned Me Not To Touch. Wrapping My

“When I was five, I burned my hand on the stove my mother never warned me not to touch. Wrapping my hand in bandages, she told me “You’re a leo, your soul seeks the warmth.” All I understand then, was pain. My mother was born in the late fifties, an immigrant to this country, and she believed in the power of the stars alignment. It wasn’t the first time, nor would be the last my zodiac became the cause and not the effect of her neglect. I broke my ankle, when I was seven, jumping from my dresser. Convinced with my sheets wrapped around my neck, that I could fly. My mother whispered into my hair as I cried, “You forgot the feathers, child.” With a cast on my leg, and a faded scar upon my palm, I listened to her soft voice, with the accent she tried so desperately to hide, tell my favorite story. Of a boy ruled by the sun, burned by the things he could never touch. Icarus must have been born a leo, too.”

Let me hold your gentle, beating heart. Steal the warmth from my hands until my fingers run cold. Take gulps of me, all I’ll ask for is sips of you.”

"She loves the tranquility of lush green forests. I love the stillness of the deep open ocean. There’s little pieces of each other in our eyes. I blink and I see her world with mine."

“Tell me again how Rome burned, how our bodies became the sun - in those moments, with our legs tangled in bedsheets, my fingertips catching rays of light from your skin - Tell me again how our ashes were too holy for this universe to taste.”

When you cycled by, Here began all my dreams

When You Cycled By, Here Began All My Dreams

The saddest thing I've ever seen

When You Cycled By, Here Began All My Dreams

And you never knew, How much I really liked you

When You Cycled By, Here Began All My Dreams

Because I never even told you, Oh, and I meant to

When You Cycled By, Here Began All My Dreams

Are you still there or have you moved away?

When You Cycled By, Here Began All My Dreams

Or have you moved away?
