Love Wishes

Dear Stars, Please sing my beloved a  sweet lullaby So he may rest his eyes Dear Night, Please blanket him with the comfort of your darkness So he may slumber Dear Moon, Please whisper him my love wishes So he may dream a little dream of me   Dessy Farhany

The Right Words

I see you’re aching and I really really really want to make you feel better Even when I know I couldn’t Even when I know nothing could   I want to say the right words words as warm as hugs   Because you’re there in the dark somewhere out of my reach crying your eyes … More The Right Words

Learn to Fall

I learn to fall And I fell And was so broken It was messy Bloody, wet with tears But most of all It hurts   But I embrace the pain I held its hand like a dear friend Tiny, squishy, jumpy friend A friend who will go away My friend   You can’t lose something … More Learn to Fall

Heaven

Pose a riddle to be deciphered. It spins so fast in each blink you lose. It’s not worth fighting. The more you detach it you bruise. … More Growing Old
