She: so you are a poet?
After a sleepless night of edging to my lovely Lola’s internet posts and an uncomfortably crowded flight back, my haggard soul was eager for one thing — to be greeted by Lo’s open arms (and open legs). She met me at the airport wearing a tight fitting, red, sleeveless dress that barely covered her ass. She…

Grief is unstable and untrustworthy. It is loud and it is manipulative, and it can teach you things about the depths of yourself that you would have left happily uncovered. You learn to make it such a living part of your life that it becomes almost corporeal; a Rosemary’s baby conceived without your consent but nonetheless screaming in the bassinet…

“I am not perfect”- a sentence we often tell another about ourselves and forget it applies to them as well.
Living in a world with so much hatred and bias against our fellow man, is really a difficult experience. We have become blinded by things that add no value to our lives, by upholding practices and behaviors which only serves to tear us apart, rather than bringing us together. We are quick to…

I am steadily working on being Mr. Perfect. But no one is perfect. I’m still looking for someone that understands this, after the perfect infatuation stage is over, and we get into the real, flawed, gangsta shit. Can you deal with conflict? Or does that not align with your expectations?”

I’d like to tell you a story about a dating profile I saw recently.
This woman is beautiful and sexy, but her profile reads like a narcissist’s ode to her own brilliance. Here are…
Breaking me over me

But it isn’t. My breath

My son and I have one thing in common, we both live in the present.
My dear,
find what you love and let it kill you. Let it drain you of your all. Let it cling onto your back and weigh you down into eventual nothingness.
Let it kill you and let it devour your remains. For all things will kill you, both slowly and fastly, but it’s much better to be killed by a lover.
What does that word mean?
It’s a term thrown around so loosely,
yet how does one define its…
«Ты заслуживаешь быть с кем-то, кто будет смотреть на тебя каждый день так, словно он выиграл в лотерею и весь мир предстал перед ним.
Ты заслуживаешь кого-то, кто может помочь тебе исполнить мечты и защитить тебя от твоих страхов.

My mistakes were sackcloth, sewn into aso.
I have undressed, and found my soul to be liquid gold in a crucible.
My wardrobe has more space.
Breath, my body has breath. What am I doing with it?

your lips burn my heart like acidto ashes still i want to be burn until nothing leftovers of me .your bites are venomous like the snakes…
Well, maybe she doesn’t want to see me again either! (lol). Who knows… :P. But yeah, it is hard indeed. Sometimes I read your stories about dating and my god, your heart must be tough as h*ll! No matter how old we are, many humans are totally lost in the seas of love (or as we say here in the south: “más perdíos que el barco del arroz” :P).

We’ve crossed our paths so many times, unnoticed.
We might have seen each other so many times, We might have crossed each others paths.
I wish I could go back into the days of late 2012, and meet you and tell,
This first night of May
Someone calls out my name
Spring blossoms tonight
The nature stays silent this night
Standing on the roof top
remember how we used to be happy?
all those laughter, mischief, and the fun —
it didn’t last long, not enough
for all that’s left to us is gone.
You are my invincible star
Union with you,
Leads to affairs of heart and humanity
You are my winnowing basket
Ridding me of all my insecurities,
Those Eleven Minutes
Were they Real or a dream ?
………………………………………………………………………………..
I like to believe that you don’t deserve to love me. How can you love someone…
No one has ever really flirted with me. When I say that I mean that they never flirted with me to the point that I noticed it, because maybe they did and I just did not notice. What’s sad about this fact is that I let it affect my self esteem. A. Lot. When all my friends had a bunch of guys flirting with them…
My dearest,
let me cover your bones
in the winter mist
so that you don’t catch the chill.
let me fluff the dust under your head
“Dear world I’m beautiful”
World kindness what it evinces, the love, care and tenderness of a person for someone else. This is actually the state of benevolence where one reveals spontaneous gesture of goodwill towards someone even he/she don’t know each other. We in our entire lives even ever noticed what we have done, and…
You came…
the gloomy dusk of life turned into a dawn beautiful
the tears of endless pain turned into those of ecstasy
I think it comes from instinct that no longer helps us in the time on the Earth that we are in. If this were Cavepeople times or Dinosaur times…. that is another story.

Oh my seedy mind, what do you choose to grow?

Sometimes it is tiring, having to deal with a never-ending insecurities of someone you love so dearly
I want to give up on hope I have been holding onto, but then I stare at her and I realize that I am not capable of letting go
Joe often tells me he’s simple minded and never knows what to say yet he always says exactly the right thing at exactly the right moment. He is a gift and I am fortunate to have him as my life partner.
someone else
to be
anyone’s shedding
to make my own
and maybe that is why
the aroma of thrift stores
brought me home
if it’s comfort
just to watch you
then what’s it like
just to hold you
Why does it feel
so (fucken) hard to let go
when I haven’t even held you
for long enough.

I pretend everything is okay, but it’s not.
I pretend that it’s not a big deal to me, but it is. My tone implies that it’s simple and not affecting me, but it is. Oh how much it is affecting me. I haven’t slept right in weeks. Not much at all. Maybe that’s why I’m…
On a clear night when the light of the stars reaches from the furthest distances in time and space and the silence grows into a deepness beyond sound, there is a peace that begins to well up within me that surpasses any earthly feeling. Within this light and silence there is an abundance of love that…
Many times you were there,for as long as I can remember.One of the very few,who showed me love and care.
You gave unconditionally,didn’t ask anything in return.You trust me wholeheartedly,made me feel…
maybe i haven’t met you
maybe i’ve already met you
maybe there’s no happy ending
maybes there’s no ending
maybe it’s a transition from this world to the next
I’ve seen thee oft within dreams
But not in mortal flesh beheld.
Should I stay a thousand years,
Will flesh recall what dreams compelled?
“Narcissus, Baby”
By Kyah Feldes 2017
Legend has it, if you look with all your heart,You will see a Prince in the Beast,And magic mirrors reveal the truth,'Despite all the anger there is good underneath'.If I could go back to save the boy,Who was broken, I'm told,Could I say the right words…
I want so much to hide…At the same time, I just want someone to care enough to find me. Care enough to just be there for me and hold my hand through this life. To understand me and love me. To choose me.
I want to be the choice that sticks.
