Closer

written by: Violet Tudor

@SweetViolettes

I need you.
Closer.
I come back
haunted by your words.
My heart beats in gasps
when you are near.
I feel awakened senses
cascading through my body.
Take me.
Kiss me.
It is not sin
to hold the hand that feels like home.

Shadows of New York by Francisco Bravo Cabrera

One day I sat and listened to the choirs of Babel.
It took me back to when I painted shadows in New York
which cast skyscrapers high above your garden.
And I wondered if an island, in the seas of nowhere,
would have served as shelter if our ship should sink.

Did a siren with her song lead you so far away from home,
and has that made you forget me?
Have you removed the old tattoos?
Did you forget the sailing trips?
Was it because Manhattan’s winds destroyed your jib?...
