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.
