I used to be afraid of picking up broken pieces
For a fear of getting hurt
But now it's an obsession
I observe the sharp edges
Run my fingers across jagged points
If I bleed I hope it might act like glue
I want to mend the broken pieces
Because I'm broken too
And maybe if I fix this
I can be fixed too

Now, before I met you

                   I was content with

                      twenty-four hours

                     in a day, but

               now I wish

       I could live

 a thousand

lifetimes

in just

  one

            kiss

i am a little girl
alone in a little world
i said a prayer
and fell asleep.

i awoke to you.
lying sweetly
deeply
quietly
breathed in
                 and out
with a stressless sigh

scatterbrained
lately i've been comparing myself to a house
i know you think i'm nice to look at
but i've got faulty wiring and a cracked foundation
my ceilings leak and i'm fairly worried you're going to fall right through my floors
you were the earthquakes and storms that ruined my worth

*consider this to be full disclosure for anyone who nearly invests in a broken home

scatterbrained
Broken baby dolls are watching me while i sleep
Made of porcelain
Eyes always on me, waiting on me to toss and turn
The jagged edges reach through my sheets, constantly cutting deeper, even from a distance
Pardon me for crying at the sound of breaking glass
I am suddenly glad i kept the ugliest doll; it seems to be the only one who has fallen to the floor
But still reaches for my hand

“Poppysmic”
She uttered the word,
With a smile on the corner of her lips.
They were sitting on a stone bench
In the green shade of a huge chestnut tree,
Leaning against each other.
His fingers were playing with her brown hair,
While his rapid heart was fancying a kiss.
“What? ” He replied,
Lifting an eyebrow out of curiosity
For that unknown word.
She began, “This is the sound of…”
But his heart was not patient enough
To hear more, and instantly
His supple lips touched those soft lips of hers.
Pa – *** – smik
The sound occurred.
She winked and he giggled in joy
As the mystery of poppysmic was unlocked.
Poppysmic is the sound, produced only when lips are kissed.
