For your darkest night.

Your thought process is moving in circles. You've advocated both sides of the case, like the thorough critic that you are and you've made some long-term decisions, you hope you an stick to them,
You know that the coming months are going to be cold and morose don't you?

You stand at the cross path, checking and double checking your decision, trying to figure out a loophole, a way out of the mess, an escape route, but there is none. The inevitable is coming for you and you need to steady yourself.  You wait, take a deep breath and plunge yourself in the depth of the unknown.
Depth, my dear, of all kinds.
Depths that humans are afraid of and only few brave.
I hope you believe in yourself till the very end. We need to hear from someone who's made it through.
I'll hold up my drink to you, to your courage, your fears and everything else that lies inside your kingdom of becoming.
Every night I will say my prayers and I will wish for you to make it through. You will be in the back of my head every time I talk or preach of bravery.
You will be the sole flame I will claim to have witnessed, a flame so pure that even the tides of time could not extinguish it. I will live with the knowledge that I have observed divinity, shared a meal with it, laughed with it and lived with it.
Your fire will live on with me.
Your fire will live on in me.
Your fire,my lovely, will live on through me.
Godspeed.
 

A letter for you.

Short unfinished poems seem to get me going these days, I strongly hope you feel the same.

I put out a letter for you
I put it out, in hope, that maybe, you'll stop by and read it sometime.
The letter has all the wonderful and disastrous things I feel.
I put out a letter for you,in hope that you will not judge me.

If you read this letter it will remind you of all the warmth and desire for adventure that you possesed.
It will take you to the moments where you were glorious.
It'll show you all the things you held so close to your heart and the people who made up your entire universe.
Things you let go down the road in the name of growing up and getting serious.

I put a letter out for you, for your dreams and your ambitions, hoping that it will help you remember them.
I put a letter out for you, addressed to all the warmth that you used to carry with yourself hoping it will return.

I put a letter out for you.
And then I put a letter out about you, every now and then.
