Strange desire
When I think of you

Strange heart glowing
Even when I'm feeling blue

I understand the way you are
Like I understand a star
Not at all
I want you to be far away
Like I want a cloudy day
Not at all

Now the tender breeze has gone
I have a fear of what's beyond
I wish I could jump forward in time
To feel the soft home that is mine

I'm feeling kept
I'm feeling trapped
The rain on my windows
Reminds me of the tears I've wept

I can't think of a name for you
Nevertheless my heart is true
I wish I knew what was ahead
But for today I'll write in bed
Emma Bobro Mar 2018
I think
That was when
I started
To fall
In love
With you

Two primates
Under a misunderstanding
Two primates
Under a cosmic codependence

We understand trees
We want to understand
Each other

That was a night
Of hope
Emma Bobro Mar 2018
I lay here all day
Wishing I could dream of you

Now that it is bedtime
Like a horse
Off too early
My heart races away
Emma Bobro Mar 2018
I want to know
What connects us
I want to know
What holds us apart
And kiss it
Until it turns
Into rain

sometimes i feel so courageous
like a young snake full of venom

sometimes i feel so afraid
like an uncaged rabbit

i am convinced that either way
you will step aside
and let me be where i am
Emma Bobro Mar 2018
trembling with my own
mystery
in my eyes behind my eyes
you and i
golden union

what is flesh if
not the ideal of god
immolation of the mind
anointment of the body
