library

-

I knelt down in the library to pick out books from the bottom shelf

I lost awareness of my body and time; even the library itself

like in a temple or a mosque you take a moment to bow

to the infinite wisdom beyond your understanding

I am brought to my knees by this palace of knowledge

that can elevate me if I allow

Hazel eyes

-
my lover brought me to this island for only me, he played his violin when he serenaded, the stars twinkled when he played in the dark, the sun would rise   he left me bereft one night said he’d be back by the time it’s daylight stranded, I waited hours, months, and years I fear the island will drown in my tears I have begged and cursed my luck ever since my lover left the sun hasn’t gone up   I wonder about so many things was this his plan since the beginning? did he mean it when he was singing? was it love or were they lies? If he comes back, will I be able to recognize? will the sun ever rise again? I hope so, because I’d give anything to look in those hazel eyes again -maithili

my spirit was never bound by my limbs a feral mind inside a skin that has tried her best to blend with the rest I have known myself to be alone for as long as I can remember not lonely, just solitary just a rhythm that no other cognition can fathom dancing to I sway and move and spin outside of my skin with the swiftness of a falcon so much so that my body is catching up to what my mind has already embodied wealth is seeking me for the freedom I already practice  the world is catching up to what my spirit has already created circumstances are being orchestrated for the joy I already feel there is no pain that cannot heal and no problem that cannot be solved by an evolved spirit -maithili

you don't understand

  my friends don’t understand what has gone so terribly wrong why I cry for a guy who I haven’t even known that long I mourn not the weeks we spent my tears are for the years we won’t the songs we’d dance to the lyrics I was going to dedicate to you my heart aches for the faith I had in us I scream,   for our hopes and dreams the snowboarding lessons I was about to get you hadn’t even officially asked me out yet I’m broken because I wanted you to be my man I tried articulating my heart but you didn’t understand -maithili
