sit with me and feel the rhythm of our pulses dancing together

the beating of our synchronised hearts will cause every bud to blossom
and the leaves will stand on their heads
and every bark on every tree will grow goosebumps

you give me goosebumps
and all i want is for you to absorb all the love i had stored for the rainclouds in your mind so that your internal thunderstorm is whisked away like lava and melted to ashes

your skeleton reminds me of keyholes and i'm struggling to find a key that fits;
i am hoping if i break every bone in my body one is bound to lace with yours
and become trapped like my eyes on your lips

see,
it's easy to reminisce about life and death
but without you there is no life
only a meandering soul captured in a glass jar floating down the river of your veins

These bare walls whose peeling paint once felt the tremors, dips, quivers in your voice.

As my numb eyes and tired eyelids stare at them, they look
awfully lonely.

And this lull of loneliness seeps into these what I thought were  impervious pieces of myself.

Who knew lonely itself
could have such a
presence
in
the
e m p t y spaces of my chest & mind.

You are the most wondrous dizzying
mess of cells,
deoxyribonucleic acid,
erythrocytes,
words,
sounds,
murmurs,
thoughts & b
