it aches me when I see the moon touch our sea

Story
in between hearts

it aches me so deeply that I’m writing this book today

but I know that my pain will resonate

in oh so many hearts, both tender and small

gently like the scent of roses in a hot summer night’s thrall

in mid-July’s embrace, where dreams alight

it’s not an easy book to read

it’s just as hard as leaving a warm hug after saying goodbye

it’s just as hard as seeing a deep friendship dissolve without a goodbye

but in the end

these poems will warm up your heart

like the air does when you open the oven and the scent of warm cinnamon rolls light up all of your parts

you’re holding my hand, feeling what I feel

when I went on a journey with a sister so real

after she told me about her wish to sway away

from life, as everything turned gray

in and around her garden, where dreams steal

it felt like nothing could ever make her gardens heal

in a dance of empathy, we both strived to ascend

running up that hill where hopes and fears blend

we exchanged our shoes, each other’s steps to feel

climbing towards understanding, emotions concealed

against life’s current, we refuse to simply bend

I could not let my sister want herself to end
