Where did
my innocence
Go?

When will
it come
Back?
  Aug 5 Dani Just Dani
Azure
I am but a kicking body
In a body of swimmers
i'm staring at the door
no one is coming
no one said they would
but i'm burning a hole in the wood with my gaze
that was meant to be a draft but since some of you appreciated it, i'll just let that be 😅
I’m laying
Down on
A mount
Of Asian
Jasmines,
Then suddenly,
I was floating
in space,
But somehow,
In some way,
My lungs inflated,
And I exhaled
What I had
Left of life
Into the stars,
The cosmos
Held me
In their arms,
An embrace
Very needed
Yesterday’s ago,
I sink deep
Into the feeling
Of being loved,
And I cry
My soul
Out back
Into the living,
My bones
Root into
Empty space,
A never ending
Search for soil,
So lost,
In search,
Always in search,
this just
Doesn’t seem
Like a place
To rest.
If I die and heaven does exist,
I’ll coward behind the golden
Gates that await patiently, and
when god asks me to repent for
my sins,

I won’t beg for forgiveness,
Instead I will cry your name
In hopes to see you again,
in all your beauty and glory,
with a smile

that cuts through Ice and fire
and stone and iron, and
a voice that echoes through
Everything that’s good or bad ,
even after the many

Moons and many suns that I’ve had
The pleasure to feel upon my skin,
I wonder where your feet have left
Footprints, or where your lips
Have kissed, or has your back

Gotten caressed and scratched,
Are you being loved like
You deserve to be loved, reassured,
Taken out and being put on a pedestal,
I miss you like my lungs miss fresh air,

Or like the moon misses the stars
On rainy days, or like a black coffee
Hoping for sugar or milk,
My bones ache every time
You are casually mentioned,

Because time has healed
The wounds but it
Hasn’t let me
Forget.
Do you
look up
From your
work as much
As I do
when I
just need
To get another
look at you,
It’s a straight
rush of dopamine
To be able to
Place my eyes
Upon your
Curves that
Like hibiscus
Flowers
Let butterflies
Rest upon
The petals that
Droop down
After a day
Of rain.
