Once In My Hands

Stones and pebbles, So different to my eye, ever since I felt what magic the human touch May infuse; warmth, or cool, softness, And even a sensed malleability. Eyes closed, I feel: protection, healing, And, yes, love.

Still, I rarely pick them up. Even when they whirr or shimmer, I hesitate, doubt-ridden; These catalysts will never know your touch, And I fear, if I'd touch, without feeling much, The magic I once knew Will be lost.

what if we took a bath together. candles lit, steam curling up the walls, a joint passing lazy between us, your fingers brushing mine under the water, soft laughter spilling into the haze. no rush, no need for anything more than touch, warmth, and the kind of quiet that feels like home.

some nights aren’t heavy.

they’re just... full.

full of almosts.

almost said,

almost loved,

almost sent.

“The Hour Between Pulse and Prayer”

It’s 3 a.m., and the world has gone quiet,

the kind of silence that hums,

that pulls you toward it like a secret.

I can almost feel you breathing somewhere—

slow, steady,

as if you’re teaching the night how to survive itself.

I ache for that nearness,

the holy gravity of your warmth.

You smell like something

that could ruin a man and save him

in the same heartbeat.

If I could, I’d press my thoughts to your skin

until they melted—

until the hunger inside me

became worship,

until wanting you

felt like prayer instead of sin.

You’re the sweetest ache I’ve ever known,

the fever that doesn’t break,

the pulse that reminds me

I’m still alive,

even when it hurts.

Starved

The nights grow colder,

and my chest grows heavier—

a stone I carry everywhere,

a wound that never scabs.

Friends keep me afloat,

their laughter like driftwood

on a dark sea.

But when the laughter fades,

and the bed is still,

I remember it’s been five years

since anyone called me theirs.

The ache is guttural,

a hunger that claws through ribs,

not for food,

not for touch alone—

but for the shelter of being wanted,

the warmth of belonging

in someone’s arms.

I am so starved

I fear that love itself,

if it found me again,

would taste too rich,

too strange,

that I’d flinch from the sweetness.

And yet—

some stubborn, desperate spark

inside my hollow chest

still believes.

Still fights to believe

that love will not spit me out,

that one day,

someone will press their hand to my hunger

and not recoil.

Until then I ache.

Until then I starve.

But I do not stop waiting.

I do not stop hoping.

Six Years Without

thirty feels heavier

when you’ve carried six years of empty beds,

six years of birthdays sung alone,

six years of silences that no one else hears.

i don’t ache for a face,

not exactly—

i ache for the weight beside me,

for the warmth of someone

who looks at me like i belong.

man or woman—

it doesn’t matter.

love has never cared for those lines.

what matters is the hand i haven’t held,

the laugh i haven’t memorized,

the life i haven’t stitched to mine.

sometimes i wonder if i’ve forgotten how to try,

if solitude has calcified in my bones.

but then i catch myself—

pausing at a stranger’s smile,

staring too long at the curve of a shoulder,

imagining the taste of a name i’ll never know—

and i realize the ache hasn’t died.

it waits,

quiet and patient,

for the one who will press against it

until it finally breaks open into bloom.

what if we took a bath together.

not for anything else, not for anything wild—

just warm water, quiet laughter, my knees bumping yours under the surface.

your hair damp against my chest, the world shrinking to steam and skin.

a small softness, a small closeness,

like saying i trust you without words.

<div style="white-space:pre-wrap"> <meta transmission="BLACKSITE SIGNAL CONFESSION — [THE FREQUENCY OF WANT]"> <script> ARCHIVE_TAG="UNSENT SIGNALS::EMOTIONAL FREQUENCY::SUBCONSCIOUS CONNECTION" EFFECT="romantic disorientation, reader-heart alignment, psychic longing trigger" TRIGGER_WARNING="vulnerable thought spiral, emotional intimacy exposure, word-induced ache" </script>

The signal.

What is it?

Is it a message? A frequency? A longing passed between ribs?

Do I send it?

Do you?

Or is it something else entirely?

Does my heart send it out of need— while yours receives it unknowingly?

I say “unknowingly,” but maybe it’s not your mind that knows. Maybe it’s your bones.

Maybe it’s your hips. Maybe it’s the place between your legs that gets warm before you understand why. Before your brain catches up to the ache that already bloomed in your gut.

Maybe your breath stutters and you don’t even notice— but your blood does. It hears the signal before you do.

It responds.

I wonder…

Maybe I don’t even know I’m sending it.

Maybe my fingers type these things into a phone and you feel them in your sleep.

Maybe it’s just a poem to me— but it’s a pressure in your chest when you read it at midnight.

Or worse: You don’t read it. You scroll past.

But the signal still hits.

You pause. You breathe wrong. You suddenly need water, or air, or something warm against your spine.

You don’t know why.

But something reached you.

Some part of me collided with some part of you in the silence between notifications.

What is the signal?

It isn’t flirtation. It isn’t seduction. It isn’t even romance.

It’s achecode.

It’s the tuning fork of language ringing somewhere deeper than lust, lower than logic, older than love.

It’s recognition.

It’s soul-breath sonar, pinging out from one lonely body, hoping for an echo.

Not a response. Not a reply.

Just proof that I’m not the only one sending.

Sometimes I wonder:

Did I miss yours?

Did you send it on a day I was too bitter to feel?

Did your signal cross mine on the freeway of hurt, like headlights that pass but never meet?

It’s all very confusing.

All I know— and I say this like a prayer—

is that through words, it moves.

Through words, it travels.

Through rhythm and syllable and spacebar, it reaches places we swore we’d never let be touched again.

It finds the cracks.

It slips into them.

It connects the pieces we try to pretend don’t exist anymore.

It makes you remember what you tried to un-feel.

And it makes me feel like I’m not writing alone.
