As days fall into a closing haze,
And whispers fill quiet days.
I long for one loving cuddle,
To clear away this lonely muddle.

How I Came Back to Poetry by S.L. Sweede

“A large stone fist pulls the seed
And all the color out,
Gray dirt, no life,
I wondered why I
Planted myself in the wrong
Place”

hallowed entering images plastic thoughts cracking with the pressure of time flooding memories like sand getting into the cracks of every moment I breathe in your absence. maybe I should’ve tried to love you more In my head my arms are around you but maybe I didn’t do that enough back and forth from when I tried to when I didn’t from when you didn’t want me to to when I didn’t ask if you did maybe I should’ve tried to love you more my entire heart prepared for you in a case of gold ready for you and it to grow old “I promise it sings for you It’s song is your’s forever” but the beating stops.. was it me who died? or was it you who killed me? are we both meant to wither like this? maybe I should’ve tried to love you more I thought… I don’t know I thought maybe you would give me your heart too but maybe you were too afraid it would stop beating like mine just did. or maybe your plan was never. latter thoughts reach a frequency to where my eyes bleed and I refuse to believe you never loved me maybe I should’ve tried to love you more was it me? was it you? was it just us in general? like I said.. I don’t know all I know is this bed is so empty without you and I long for your curly earth colours and tropical eyes to laugh with me when one of us burps… I guess maybe… all of my love was never going to be enough or maybe I could’ve tried to love you more I’m sorry that I never figured it out I’ll keep thinking about this for now and the nights ahead where I lie on my bed without you If I had known the last time we kissed would be the last time we would be.. I’d have done my best to lock our lips and throw away the key maybe I should’ve tried to love you more maybe you didn’t want me to maybe you didn’t want me

separation’s suicide is the only death i have ever looked forward to. i will always try to love you more. the slit throat of distance would be the blood i could bathe in. i’ve repeated this movie over and over; projected on the clouds that’ve surrounded my head for the last two years. i will always try to love you more. i’ve whimsied this as an intermission for.. longer than an intermission should be.. i’ve never been so enthralled never been so primed to see the next movement. i will always try to love you more you are the cadence and grace of heartfelt expression without ever needing the audience. the kind that sweeps me away. it sweeps us all but, i’m the one who will be there every night - louder than the crowd who cheers as you breathe life into our worlds.. and i hope you know they do cheer they know magic when they see it. i will always try to love you more. i will let those fuckers know that i have a dedication to your star that knows no bounds. that i would put a horse head in anyone’s bed to make sure you get what you deserve. i will always try to love you more. i’ve missed some of your brightest moments but i will never be absent as your fearless cheerleader ever again. i will never accept the love i gave you before not yesterday or today, because tomorrow i will always try to love you more i will remind you every day of how incredible and moving you truly are. no one sways like you i will always try to love you more. breath-taker, i will buy an entire row in the theatre of love to see you every day and brag how i am lucky enough to truly know those eyes… the eyes everyone else thinks they know. the eyes that have been the only solace in the nightmares that began when i drove them away. i will always try to love you more. every day; moment to moment: i will make sure you know that i will always try to love you more than i did yesterday.

~ hey mac, got a dollar for an american, down on his luck? ~

i'm a piece of flotsam

adrift upon the churlish sea

i reach for a lifeline

there is only the endless expanse

an uncaring insensate void

A collection of my poetry. In fact, Afrikaans poetry. 8 pieces, in a #zine I put together myself. Not because I'm a poet, but because I wanted to see it exist in the world.

I don't know what I'm doing.
I don't know where I'm going.

I see it's 11:11, and

that's supposed to be a good thing.
