two people fell in love
in your room

we moved to a poolside
and awoke to blue skies
catching daylight just to see
it disappear

the indoors became a cave
for our hearts, our minds and our
conversations

somewhere i would stay
but couldn't grow.

this is how we love now -
our phones heating up
as our desire cools down.

somewhere
when the day dips into cool blue
dusk
we rest our elbows along your balcony edge and exist only as rooftop observers.
pomegranate seeds grate my teeth as
you pluck them with your hands
Eating them like small treasures You’ve found

I feel as if my thoughts reach higher up here, like they are closer to the sky
you had this effect on me, love appeared again and you were the
reason.

just like a firefly
i drew closer to your light
but in distance i remembered
that i had my own

autumn was slow
and opportunities shook themeselves
over me
i was at a turning point whilst crimson
leaves fell underneath my feet
gathering dust onto my street

i was undoing
just like the citrus fruits that hang in my grandmothers garden, the light was changing and i felt
ripe again.

i wanted to know the moon
every crater, every imperfection, every mark
so hollow and white
yet filled with days of experience
i became envious one night
of her need to be so far away but
see everything, still.
how she could never get bored, exist
only as a symbol and as a light source
and be

nothing
more.
