You held my hand with love
as we strolled down the way
Peripherally, i saw wings up above
nothing said, but all to say

As we strolled down the way
frolicking children flourished the air
Nothing said, but all to say
Engrossed in them as we prepare

Frolicking children flourished the air
not far from my bed
Engrossed in them as we prepare
no longer filled with dread

Not far from my bed
peripherally, i saw wings up above
No longer filled with dread
You held my hand with love

Impossibly close, I'm
beginning to believe you were
actually here with me, dreaming
away all doubts
The echoes of your presence
remain

It is surreal. I can feel you.

(-x-)                                       
                    ­                                           up to the top of the world and
                                        will lift you                                                         let you see how softly
When I am capable, I                                                                ­                  the sunrise beckons
                                  

because life is sprawled out around
us like a sphere surpassing our
periphery, that is
                                we should spin in
                                circles holding each other
                                tight, laced fingers whispering until you and I
                                figure it out well enough to

land on the cool, sweet grass
(together after all)
Sitting back and considering this point in time.
Everything is quite alright.

my luck comes in threes,
and i'll tell you why.

my head is full of trees and tales and stories
(that is my luckiness)
and i believe in luck and love and magic.
i trust that the world will keep turning
(and so it turns for me)
and my tongue trills three-note thrifts,
when it has nothing else to do.

i have three parents instead of two and
three brothers instead of none
i have no sisters and fingers meant for paper and pen -

i have three boys who love me but
i only love one of them back
(and isn't that
the luckiest of all?)

i have poems, songs and stories
i have paintings, sketches, doodles -
and my eyes burst three colors
tangled and swirling.

i am threes and throats and throbbings.
i am feelings and thoughts you can't quite put into words.
i am lucky,
and luck finds those who know it

calm and collect my thoughts
ethereal smoke twists upwards
indecipherable spirals winding
their way towards the moon
temporary existence
fleeting memories
my fingers grasp and hold nothing
a silly gesture - acted out
more so in a symbolic way
the ticking clock provides a
backdrop to this satisfied silence
as i take stock of my body
and file away the sensation
of skin on skin and desperate
moans for more
a midnight tryst held close
to my heart that's beating its
way out of my body and
finding its way into yours
with limited time to live this life
embrace it head on and hold me close
tell this dream to last forever
for a moment this special made real
could only be a fragment of
a sleeping mind
i never want to wake up
if time were to stop i'd be happy
knowing that this finite strand
of fine gold thread held high
by fate was made to last more
than the thin tendril of white
sighed out - brushed past my lips and into yours

I bear invisible masks across my face
Countless shining lights pointing at my skin
My pores suffocating beneath their heat
Reciting old words others find foolish
I find them beautiful
When I speak, I hear silence
Emotion flowing from my body
Frantically climbing to my peak of exhaustion, this mountain is limitless
Those lights cool off
Darkness engulfs me
There is silence
As I tune back to reality
Thunderous hands pound my eardrums
I await for the next script
I challenged myself to write a poem for anyone and everyone of my friends that retweeted a tweet on my twitter. This is one of them.
