Poetry: Some People

Some people are

like a catharsis.

Infinitely imperfect,

Indecently kind,

perceptive and  unpromising,

but building a home out of

every syllable.

With some people 

time flies like a nanosecond.

They  finish your thoughts,

create new ones and put

ellipses at the end of sentences, because nothing ends

and everything begins

always anew. 

Such people give you

a sense of the world, make your hopes crumble, plant new ones, and exist as evidence that kind-hearted people do not hesitate to give of themselves and are aware that sometimes there will be nothing in return.

Some people are like a catharsis – 

to reincarnate with them is simply compulsory.
