Broken Seams

Smooth transitions from
Slow motions to
Low emotions.

Late Night Outdoor Skating

The moon knows our names tonight
And the stars are removing their masks
And breaking through the streelights
To give us their blessing.

You keep me guessing.

It’s a line but it’s dotted.
I’m jumping over spaces and
Praying that my hand will find yours
On the other side.

On the ice as we slide,

Will you wait for me?
As I fall,
I’ll get stuck on the floor.
Will you leave me there?

I think you’d agree,
You’d fall with me.

My back kisses the ice,
But I don’t feel cold;
It’s as if for the first time,
I feel alive.

Perhaps because it’s you I’m beside.

Words prevail
And jump through the dark,
Yours land straight in my heart
And hit their mark.

Can’t you feel the spark?

You scream perfection,
I whisper my secret.
You reply with words
I find to good to be true,

“I love you, too.”

"Exciting,
Adventurous,
Risky,
Dangerous,
Nervous,
Epic,
Emotionally overwhelming,
Insane,
Crazy.
What are we doing here?
Why you?
Why me?
Why now?
Warm,
Cold,
Shivering,
Close physically,
Far away emotionally,
Together,
Apart.
Stay like this forever.
Simply amazing,
Everything.
Never let go,
But have to."

Unseen

I see you as kind,
You are your own person.
Unique in your uniqueness,
You don’t seem to have
A care in the world.
I see you as free.
I see you as happy.
But you don’t see me at all.

Reflection

I remember the blackness.
Lost in a time where
I could not even
Trust my own reflection,
For my actions were backwards and
A perfectly matching opposite.
An image that is a
Simple mirage and does not
In fact exist.
A henna tattoo that disappears
At the first sign of fragmentation.
How could I trust something
So fragile,
So unsolid?
I remember the days where
No one stood beside me.
I remember yesterday.
