Touch.

Like a distant memory, 

It seems a little faded away,

The warmth of the skin,

And the smirk of joy on his face.


How can I forget those splendid moments?

The thumb pressing through my shoulders;

The fingers twirling my hair;

The shine in the eyes,

The legs pressing my thighs. 


Like he owned every inch of me;

Through my skin;

To my lips.

Like a prolonged chain of reactions aroused,

With his hands on my thigh.


It's the touch of his skin;

That keeps me calm;

It's the warmth in his eyes,

That keeps me bright.

The way his lips turn into a smile,

Whenever I pass by,

The way his face glows up like the sky,

Whenever I stand by his side.


It's the touch of his presence, 

Beside my body,

That helps me breathe.

It's his hand on my waist,

That keeps me from falling. 


The way he holds my hand,

As we walk to my house,

Like my cells sending messages,

"Please don't let this die".


I wonder if it's him,

That I'm crazy about,

Or is it his unfettered kindness,

That tells me I'm a fool,

For being apart.


It's definitely his touch,

That I'm demented about.

The touch of his fingers running through my neck,

The touch of his lips pressing through my cheeks.

I'm crazy about the way he makes my body react.

With a single touch,

He could light a whole house on fire.

Wildflower.

Let me write for you tonight, As the silent night echoes.  The tear drops rolling down my cheeks, & the silence consumes me as the clock ticks by. Let me write about you, How you were the heaven I walked in, With my darkest shadows following behind, You humbled me with your smile. Let me write about the time, I lived the life of my dream, The dreams were of you, reaching out for my hand, As we climbed through the hill of meadows, Like a wildflower you grew on me, On the parts of my life that I left behind. Let me write about the love, That you made me feel,  The love that consumed all of my fears, And I walked through the glowing paths of heaven, With you waving from behind at the start of what I called life.

Consuming

Like a breath of fresh air, it entered my life quietly  and stayed. It stirred my wants awake, lit rooms in me I didn’t know were dark. Things I’d never named as need began to knock, again and again, until they lived in my thoughts. The want to reach, to have- like thirst in the middle of the sea: water everywhere, not a drop that satisfies. Blessed with abundance, yet hollow. Achieving everything, yet somehow consumed by what was missing. There is a feeling that turns your stomach into a question, that makes hunger out of fullness- you eat to the brim and still feel a void chewing from inside. Joy, too, becomes a chase: you hold it, and it slips into purpose. Happiness arrives with tears, and even when it fills you, something keeps asking for more.  This is how consuming works perhaps, not the lack of having, but the having without lacking. Everything you dreamed of in your hands, and still a restlessness gnawing at their worth. Is it mea...

Drift

We didn’t break. There was no loud goodbye, no slammed door, no final breath of rage. Just space widening like a tide we forgot to swim against. You still smiled, but not the same way. Your words still came, but later, and lighter. Like you were learning how to say less of me.  I reached across the distance with laughter, with softness, with the version of me you used to crave. But you held your silence like a shield; and I, not knowing where it hurt, could not press gently enough. Now we are two familiar strangers, still shaped by each other, but fading from the frame. And the saddest part is; no one was cruel. We just stopped arriving  at the same time.  Pritha Krishna
