I felt a connection, did you too?

FluorescentShadow
Somniferous clouds
Of amber green smoke;
Trees in the fog,
Or rocks in the stream.

Delicate ripples of sound
Disturb the silence,
Like a gentle breeze
Among the evening birds.

As the waves roll in
The tide slides out,
Nursing me into the depths
Of healing darkness.
A sensation forgotten so quick,
As if it never even existed,
But it always returns.

Imagine-

A wilderness
Growing
From this
Freckled chest.
Laughter,
Escaping,
Pink
Love-speaking lips.
Wind-blown
Red curls
A mess.
Wrapped
In a wild-
That I've tried-
But
I can't forget.
Traveling in my mind
To warm nights
I don't regret.
The sound
Of my name
On your
Sweet parted breath-

And the salty taste
Of us,
On my tongue,
Your broken heart
Left.

Void
Standing in the crowd
You speak
But no one hears a sound

Are you one of us?
The unseen...
The undervalued...
The void...
The used...
The mistreated...
The disposable.
Come through the gate,
Into a garden made just for us.
Where our efforts aren't shrugged away
Where we don't fear the love of our friends to be conditional
Where we are afforded reciprocity
We can smile with our faces toward the sun
Facing the warmth
Embracing the growth
Planting ourselves in this fanciful garden
Never to let anyone pluck a
Single
Precious
Petal
Ever again.
