I’m dreaming a hole
or maybe it’s a whole
right into the heart of you.
Straight into that place
I use to reside,
even though the windows
were always too high to see up,
and the room constantly had a draft.
I have this incurable yearning
to lease my little corner of
chaos in the after notes
of your left ventricle again.
I guess I’ve always been
one to believe in interior spaces
others don’t perceive.
-Tosha Michelle
And lately its been…
The Vamps? They’re here in Cebu! 🙂

Ah, yes, and it’s got to be the left ventricle, I think. So preferable to the right.

I always see you as a sunny person despite what I read in your poems but perhaps like me you get all the darkness out and inside the light shines on
LikeLiked by 1 person
Yeah, that’s exactly it. I write the darkness so I can live in the light. I do have my moments of brooding and temperament, but as I get older, I’ve learned to channel the darkness in a healthier way. I think you and I are similar in a lot of ways.

Bonjour Michelle
Ton amitié est importante pour moi
Je me sens moins seul
Tes petits messages chez moi
C’est comme la flamme d’un feu de bois
J’en éprouve de la joie
Avec ces petits mots
Je te souhaite une belle semaine à venir
Du bonheur dans ta demeure
Bises, Amitié, Bernard

You do know you write very good, but is it only me or what? Cause I have to re read your poems twice or three times to try to figure out what exactly is about, I can think of one, two or even three things of what is about. Or I could be a dummy wich is quite credible, so I go to the comments to see if one of those people enlightens me about the beautiful thing I read that I don´t comprehend fully. Makes sense?
