🙌 (at Porto Montenegro)
“the beauty of the sea will always be with me”
.
she looks gorgeous
on the surface
but daunting,
like she’s daring you
to immerse yourself
in her.
beneath the surface
lurk both dangers
and wonders
not of our world,
and you can’t have one
without the other.
she is fierce,
and she is soothing.
she is life.

“Love, not without loss”
.
Despite the fairytales
and the love songs,
I always doubted it,
never having seen
any proof of it—
thought it might be
as fabled as fairies
and dragons
blowing smoke
But then I met my own
I haven’t yet my happy ending
but now at least I know
And it’s true too
what they say
about how it’s better
to have loved
and lost
than to have never
loved at all
-K (at Piraeus, Greece)
