Landing softly on my feet
After jumping
Off a cliff
In the dark
Claws out
Behind me
A sparrow turns
Says to me
This I do
Frequently
Pecking up seed
Nature cared
To scatter
Just for me
Eyeing another
Diving so flippantly
Decided to free fall
In her slip stream
A warm blanket of air
Covers over my landing
Softly swiftly
With ease
A mirror
Can't bear to
Open my eyes
Under covers
Hide
Alter reality
Two dimensional
Altar ego responds
Completely to me
Yet every touch
Cold
Do I need to
Be like you
To like you
Like I do?
I do
Loving me
Means
Loving you
Is it a crime to?
All the shades
Of blue reflect
To infinity
With you
Speech is silver
Silence is golden
It’s hard to love someone more than you love yourself.
You paint dreamscapes on the wall.
Taylor Swift, Peace
Even deep disappointments cannot be drowned;
They will rise and inflate and infect and abound.
Happy are those who suffer no ill;
For all the rest, choose – sweet or bitter pill?
