Yin-Yang

Yin,

you are the moon,

a circle of white layered with platinum,

emitting a smoky and transparent aura.

Yang,

you are the sun,

an entity of blazing colors draped over each other,

releasing an energy so powerful it could blind.

Yin,

you are mysterious,

tickled with a broody nature.

Yang,

you are feverish,

with an infinite energy that never goes away.

Yin,

you are the blanket of snow,

the blizzard of hail pelting against the house,

flurries of snow rising and falling with elegance.

Yang,

you are the summer heat,

the cool, sloshing waves and the

sun-kissed warm sand.

Yin,

the world needs you,

Yang,

the world wants you,

so stick together,

and be

Yin-Yang.

  • I’m sorry

    I’m sorry that I wasn’t the rings to your Saturn,

    because Saturn had cracked into two;

    I’m sorry that I slipped salt into your sugar,

    yet your sugar was bitter, I cried too.

    I’m sorry that you never learned to care,

  • fall

    warmth,

    pumpkin spice lattes

    hot, spice-soaked coffee drizzled with a splash of cinnamon

    coated with half-melted whipped cream, nestled by the delicate fire,

    comfort,

    your favorite cardigan

  • give me a reason

    Give me a reason

    for walking away,

    was I too shallow

    when you wanted a deep abyss?

    Give me a reason

    for losing faith,

    was I too dreamy

    when you wanted to be awake?

    Give me a reason
