scared of the dark

The milky twilight 

Soft and still

Drenches me in feeling. 

 

My eyes illuminate, 

Reflecting the light of a million stars

Each one a place I’ll never know. 

 

In this moment, 

Alone, 

With nothing but starlight 

Memories

And lost dreams to guide me

I wonder if I’ll find my way back to you.

 

Take the road I said I would.

 

Follow my fantasies,

 

Or if I’ll turn around to gaze

At the expanse of road behind me

 

And run.

 

Run towards me

And my future I misplaced along the road to your heart. 

 

Future can’t be fantasy. 

I yearn for more than just a person. 

 

You can’t be all there is to love.

    a symphony of saxophone and jazzy drums plays

    for a crowd of men in wide collared shirts and women in boxy dresses

    in their hands are drinks

    martinis and manhattans 

    with glistening ice cubes inside their glasses

  • proximity

    we're so close. 

     

    I am wrapped in the touch of another 

    suspended in a state of contentment

    and soft safety. 

     

    the lights in my room are warm

    and in the mirror

    where the soft grass meets the sea

    is where you'll find her

    for eternity now.
