in collaboration with Muzakon for our upcoming project, more on that soon in my 'art & thoughts' book. more snippets of the project in the upcoming days here.

blossoming flames
don't tame themselves,

they
aim to burn more
and more,
and so much more-
making wood roar,
making it erupt fire sparks
that leave bright marks:

the warmth in my cheeks
that i still feel after all those weeks,

the little crinkles next to my eyes,

now i am agonised;

the faint smile on my chapped lips,
at the memory
of your grip on my hips;

and the rapid beating of
my heart;

even days after your depart.

you extinguished
the fire

now i am in dire straits
but i know for sure that

a part of me will
keep burning this way

even if i watched
how everything turned
to ashes
and wet showers of tears
rolled down from under my lashes
