anxiety feels like
a wild animal
trapped in my chest
fighting for dear life
a rabbit, cornered
just under my heart

flitting through my mind on dragonfly wings
small enough to keep in my pocket
big enough to take up every inch of my mind
let me hold your hand
just for a moment
i want to know if you feel
as safe in my arms as i do in yours

this body is haunted
with the memory
of the universe
bursting at the seams
with things too big
to comprehend
one day i will be
back in the stars
and maybe then
i will understand
why

with the universe sprawling above
starlight dances, shimmering, across your body
anointing your skin with the smell of moonlight
to reach out, to touch would be unthinkable -
but your light rings holy and pure
and i find myself on my knees in prayer

lavender and honey -
dripping sweetly from a clever tongue;
your words pool against my skin
and i am helpless but to feel them,
each new sound a blessing
as i lose myself to you.

through daunting nights
and carefree days,
through raging storms
and encroaching haze;
through miles of land
and hours of time,
through the early sun
through the darkened sky;
wherever i may be,
wherever you go,
as long as you love me,
i'll be home.

would you sit here with me,
eons apart, beneath the same sky,
and watch the hours tick away,
with only the dance of stars
to tell us the night is passing?
the warmth in your voice and your heart
isn't lost with the miles between us,
though the sorrow that laces your words
somehow seems stronger.
could i take your pain for a day?

my heart pulses to the beat
of the low fire burning in my chest
it's taken months to stoke this flame
and yet still it is little more than heated stones
through rain and wind i fought
my arms and soul are weary
but the fight won't be taken from me yet

pour the gold of your heart over mine,
shining rivulets filling up the cracks
left by other burdens
of another time
a trade:
id offer you warmth
and the iron in my blood
to keep you strong through it all

it was with love too
sudden
too
new
too
shiny
that a heart
sudden heavy
felt as a curse:
something
to fear & mourn
but
acceptance
rang
through the ranks
as a war cry:
bright
and queer
and pure
and he —
who knew
my pieces
and just
how they
all
fit
together
— spoke:
“ a heart is indeed a heavy burden -
but we can surely offer you a hand. “
