and now she walks with presence
enough for two
and her heels don't feel like
missing you

let us see how
that little dash of light in the corner there
is infinitely beautiful enough

Heaven forbid that I should forget
to forget you and
all the Lovely you heaped
upon me like a mountain
transported pebble by pebble
Until, when removed from my chest,
the emptiness swallowed me whole

The light spills through the glass window in the kitchen and
Drapes itself over countertops and linoleum floors
curves around edges like a contortionist
shadows now lovely shape shifters
An artist in itself, everything is beautiful for
a little while

I mourned the melting sun
and tried to kick the moon away
like a little ******* a swing set
but my toes barely grazed its surface and
the chains creaked with the certainty
that I should have beautiful  
nightmares about
you tonight

your jaw was coated in silver moonlight and it was quite beautiful
the sliver of hope that ignited within me that night

to speak to permit sleeping words to awaken and take over it is something so utterly beautiful allowing your soul to seep through any boundaries you have set and exhale clandestine thoughts, permission to dream aloud and scream all that you were once hesitant to acknowledge, that is when you are you and you are infinitely courageous
