it’s been this way for quite some time
greedy ink blobs devouring paper
until no cream-colored space can be seen

indigo is greedy and brutal
it will not halt upon negligence
instead constantly unfurling outwards

silver spoon, sugar water
sweetness and structure
lost in a swirling abyss

far removed and achingly so
from days of crystalline boldness
glimmering in the sun

diluted and formless
flowing into countless shapes

joy is a sneaky little thing
dancing around in flickers
flashing before my eyes
teasing me relentlessly 

it is agile like a mouse 
and this cat has learned
after years to not chase

i love you. you are my best friend and i love you. your energy is so beautiful and comfortingly familiar. i can scoop some of it up between my hands and notice the soothing array of colors melding together.
