"I'm surprised"
Is how she feels
That she fell fast
Head over heels

Apparently I'm different
"Not like the rest"
Peace, smiles, summer's warmth
I bring out her best

"But the many hurdles we'll face....."
Oh, that was the seed
That I begged she wouldn't plant
Now it's a ****

So without arms
A thousand miles long
I can't reach the roots
Now everything's wrong

"I told you this could happen"
Is this really how she feels?

Well I say
You were worth the risk
  But I'm still head over heels
Don't let fear and distance sabotage beautiful possilities

Days like these
          When you haven't the time
          to notice the sun.
          And you haven't the breath
          for the sun to notice you.
Days like these
          When you've missed the mellowing,
          orange of the sky.  
          And you've missed the gentle
          wisp and pop
          as gloom's breath quells its flame.
Days like these
          you have yet to miss.
          Yet, the sun
          again
          will
          set.

As if to suffocate
you seal them shut
Fearing, hoping,
wondering

whether flicker becomes flame
while passion becomes....

something more?

Open your eyes
Mine own will answer

Let's
confuse
cause and correlation
with
love and poetry

Stifled is

A heart
A body
A soul
Held prisoner to
a love

Unstifled
Michael Dec 2014
Palms
Supple, calloused
Wandering, connecting, belonging
Two hearts, one pulse
Transmitting

— The End —
