Minka Vanijs Poems

My words are feathers
tickling you discreetly,
trapped in the ripples of the sheets-still warm, infused with our scent.
...

I called to you
from canopied pathways

from the salty seas
...

Letting you go could be so
simple
like the wind carrying a balloon
released from a babe's hand in a moment of distraction.
...

My heart holds
secrets
from you that were once
oceans,
...

I cannot hear the bell.
It's once soothing melody
chills me now as I remember
it's gentle clanging in the winter air.
...

You forget nothing.
I could be kind and say
You remember everything
But the truth is
...

I'm never far from you-
I carry you with me wherever I go.

Your touch-an invisible tattoo upon my skin,
ink flowing through my veins,
...
