Seven and Raffi - Ring story

Like White noise in the Borg collective

Seven

I am no stranger to pain.
I experienced it many times.
It became a constant companion.
Silent at day and roaring at night.
Screaming in my head,
whispering in my mind
Urging me to give up,
eager to break me.
To Defeat me.
And sometimes…
Sometimes.
But I am Borg.
Or I am human.
I am neither
But resistance cannot be futile.

Stardust

Raffi

Your arrival was so you
spectacular
Your appearance
breathtaking
You seemed so strong
in body and mind
unbreakable
but still broken in million pieces
and I felt it, saw it, in sad eyes,
was drawn to it, into you
an unique soul
beautiful but shattered by anger
filled with guilt

I reached for you
tried to touch
tried to heal
my palm on your heart
my fingertips now covered with stardust
as if you just finished your journey
after millions of years between the stars
following your own path
unimpressed by dying stars and burning suns
bathed in time and kissed by the galaxy
let me take care
let me make you whole again

Sun kissed Honey

Seven

Behind veils of green light
I feel your presence as a bright dancing light
that guides me
leads me through the depths of my mind,
as I threaten to stray too far from my path of guilt

I hear my name called
Your voice is like sweet, thick honey
surrounds me
encompassing all parts of me,
fragmented yet appearing as one
still broken,
after all these years
but you are the liquid gold
that promises healing

It is your laughter that floats through time
Filled with your love
rich, deep and sensual,
divine beneath ordinary
You always feel like sun to me
And I love
the vibration it causes and
the feeling it brings

After decades of taking care of myself,
you put me together piece by piece
and it’s your touch that holds me together

No longer

Raffi

Hot breath crawled under my skin
Your lips burned holes on my spine
Promises made, impossible to keep
Questions asked, Answers given
You spoke my name
Whispered against my belly
Traced by your tongue
We conversed without words,
Understanding conveyed through heartbeats.
You kissed
Me, we
Kissed
Forever
Not enough,
not ever
“Don't go, Don't leave, not this time
Not this day”
And I begged you to stay
For this kiss
For us
And you lingered for us but no longer
And you lingered for the kiss but no longer
And I stayed for this
But no longer

As you left,
I shut the door
To the life we no longer share,
Laughter echoing from within the trailer,
A memory of our time,
Of us,
Before,
Now replaced by silence.
You didn't bid farewell,
But to whom, when you say goodbye?
To me,
To us,
This time,
Our future?
Is it all over?
Are we finished?
No answers, for no one.

Where space is no enemy, but time

Seven

I found you in this place
where photons create realities
You choose to be in space
Silent stars no enemies

You can't
You said
Do this anymore

You can't
You meant
Do me anymore

I knew and
I smiled but
I broke once again

I knew for a while and
I cried many nights but
I will let you go for
The love we still share.

So I kissed you goodbye
And I hoped in my heart
That this love we still shared
Was worth the time spent apart

I will wait

Just to feel
How your heart stopped
For me
Tasted the salt of that kiss
As your farewell on my lips

So I do find myself
in this place
where photons create realities.

Hole in my heart

Raffi

I can’t remember, how long I have been here
Is it days? Weeks? More?
There is no sun - in district six
no one I can see
none I can feel

Stopped feeling a long time ago
Stopped feeling right before I left
just to prevent my heart breaking
You were angry - for the right reason

I know that now
You refused to say goodbye
It made me furious
I understand
better now
It’s your way to tell me to come back

I tried to forget you
and still I find myself thinking of you
talking with you
Missing you

My steps hit the ground
I hear them sink into the filthy soil beneath my feet
the streets are overcrowded
with people, dirt and fear

I am so tired
so empty
numb

But I won’t give up
We will find us again

Battle for Earth

Seven

night is cut by angry red
burning deep into eternity
in the middle of the fight
your heart reached out to me
and mine stopped between heartbeats
to listen, its whisper, for a second.
just a second, a second too long but not long enough
a hasted breath
a rushed look, you are there, still with me
When our galaxy is going to end until then
just a moment left, filled with memories
you, laughing, we kissing, us crying
so much love, unspoken yet deeply felt.
I see
you deserve better
we deserved better
and at the end of this
I promise to you, my love
beyond all odds
we will be
enough
