skin over bone,
muscle tissue hanging off

i wish i was younger,
when the world was still black and white,
and i

lived

I talk to the seeds in their watered egg boxes
all lined up on windowsills
ask if any would like to be born
-give assurance,  'its all free!'

obsessive or pure
deadly or wholesome feeling
suffer or embrace

In the hush between the moments,
Where time forgets to race,
I find a world unfolding
In the softness of your face.

Your smile—a dawn that breaks me,
Your voice—a gentle sea,
And when the stars are silent,
Your heart still sings to me.

No map could chart the wonder
Of the places we have grown,
Two souls that move together,
Yet each is still its own.

I loved you in a whisper
Before I knew your name,
And now I say it loudly—
My every breath, the same.

So stay, and let the seasons
Pass gently as they may,
For love like ours is endless—
It does not fade away.
