close and far

Our bodies
so close.
Our souls
far away,
lost in the fog.

Mine looks around
catches a glimpse
of yours
reaching out..

fog again.

searching
then I see it.
your soul
turning away
from me.


this all
as our fingers
intertwine
as i feel
the warmth
of your skin
and the beating
of your heart

As our bodies
start to melt
into each other
and our souls
get lost
in the fog.

Containment

She tries to get out
free herself
from this walls,
this body,
that contains her,
holds her prisoner.

From time to time
she almost succeeds.
screaming
and shouting
hurting this body
making the heart
feel like it’s drowning.

I can feel her
gasping for air
scratching at me,
while I try
to suffocate her
back to the darkness
My body contains.
