until midnight
lost its luster,
the moon
still shined
but
lights dimmed
and I couldn’t
spin
imagery
through poetry
any more,
I lost the me
from before

My encore
took place
long before
this swan song…
I left all of me
on stage
rebuilding
and breaking
Playing
and making
love
with words
that used to
pour
without
a curtain ever needing to
close,
I thrived on
Midnight shows
full of rhymes

How could I not fall
like the walls
you expertly
Wrecked
while loving me out loud
through actions
that led to peace
for a mind that Never sleeps?
How could I not fall
as you give me your all
Proving that
“If they want to, they will”
is more
1/2
Do you hear
Every time
my heart shouts
before I swallow
syllables
you deserve to hear
before fear
steps in
I show you
with my eyes
that tell no lies,
my Smile
softening
after laughter
fades and
I swallow now
because
I didn’t
when I should have,
I swallow
until they escape
the safety nets
I’ve put in place
because every time
I don’t tell you,
I almost do…

I swallow
those words
as they try
to take flight,
light on the tip
of my tongue
I swallow those
syllables
trying to fly
Free
because
their weight
can crush
under the guise
of flapping wings
weightless
with whispers
and bites
#poetry
Reality
isn’t usually
this sweet,
I keep
waiting to wake…
To be pulled
from a daydream
like he pulls
smiles and laughs
hidden behind
walls too high
to climb,
Yet with
no empty words,
Instead weighted
by actions
He lifts
Until
it all
feels…
real

Wednesday comes
calling ready to
hump like this week
hasn't already
been fucking me
so if you're not
Friday don't scream
my name because
you don't have
the rest i ache for
#poetry#writing
You make me want
to spill
ink
over pages
and pages
detailing
the peace
and heat
You weave,
but selfishly
I want to keep
those pieces of you…
only for me
#poetry
1/2
Threads of
laughter stretch
late into the night
like phone cords
stretched down hallways
tucked between doors
wanting more…
Smiles,
Whispered words,
Time.
