6 shots of tequila.
I’m somewhere between couldn’t be more alive
and on the doorstep of death – with the door wide open.
My mind is blank, quite like the look in my eyes when you desperately shake me conscious.
I’m sorry, you set me alight
but didn’t stay behind to douse the flames
when I burned greater than anticipated.
You never came back
for the ashes.

I am the one who always
searches,
never searched for.”
No One
Original WritingI would die for you, but I live for no one.
Death’s Door
Original WritingWhen you’re at death’s door and the IV drips are embedded into your veins, suddenly you realise you’ve never seen as many prayers and tears inside one building. A hospital ward becomes a church, with cries of anguish as the holy choir.
Pablo Neruda
PoetryThe moon lives in the lining of your skin.
Constellations of Love
Original PoetryLook up at the stars tonight.
I hope you feel something
As your standing underneath an illumination of infinite wishes.
And when you look up tonight,
know that we are standing under the same blanket of diamonds.
And when you look up tonight,
know that I will always love you.
Timothy Joshua
PoetryI caught your eyes,
And for the briefest of moments,
I caught a glimpse of the light and wonder
That the stars and the universe conspire to hide
Behind the brown of your hair and the dark of the night.
