An Uncalled Memory (#writingshots 1)
Your hand is resting on top of mine. Was. Things eventually disintegrate, losing their meaning and existence. For the time being, this memory lingered. This is not a common occurrence and should not occur at all. Because if it doesn’t disappear, I will crave it.
I’m sorry, was it your hand over mine or mine beneath yours? It’s not the same. That touch permeates the weight and bounds of skin; the body does not grasp where the warmth comes from but pushes back the influenc...

Boring Love
You say we are out of firsts,
the first hug,
the first kiss,
the first night of love.
We are neither young nor old,
we don’t have excitement,
everything is usual,
we do not try anything bold.
My love, boring is not that bad.
You are my habit,
I am your routine.
You are the lyrics,
I am the song,
Our love is the tune.
Forget what the world says,
We live our lives
through each other.
Our love is boring,
so is air and water…

One Day…
I still dream
about you with open eye,
praying for you
to the stars in sky.
I still live
the time we spent,
those noisy silences
the wordless conversations.
I don’t understand
the world without you,
the meaning of leaving
when you never left.
I hope that
I see you one day,
under the berry tree
you sing an old melody.
I close my eyes,
and the distance vanishes.
One day, that one day…
