Homesick of an
embrace
Never have I ever
Been tangled in the deepest
depths
Of your winds
Or wore hugs
That melted into
kisses
Never have I ever
Left a cigarette burn
On the
heart of a soldier
Or woke up
To be crafted
To fit
perfectly
The space between your hands
I present you
The
amulet of a promise
Around my neck
Weight of a wrecking
ball
Hanging silently
Never have I ever
Unkissed or
unloved you
In the lungs of my soul
Lies a reaching howl
A
moment
A space between drowning
And gasping for
meaning
With ink in the veins of my thoughts
Never have I
ever
Thought I’d choke on promises
My purple-eyed
symphony
Always a heartbeat away
Meet me at the Almost.
Olga Gojnić
