Atlantis

Submerge

These tears are like

Stinging saltwater in my eyes.

I wish to drown myself so as

Not to feel the pain of salt

Touched by wind and sun.

Open my eyes underwater

And breathe until I sink

In the ocean floor.

Abandoned.

Shipwrecked.

Dead.

No—

I never reached your shores.

The waves of your waters

Pushed me away.

Until I abandoned

Myself.

Atlantis—

Lost and forgotten

In sands of time—

Found me.

Hair, There and Everywhere

One afternoon in December, my hair decided to make "waves" in front of the camera. I love how it's so light and free that I could just run around without having to comb it. I never do. 

I shall color it with the shades of the earth one day.
