Me and You Nov 2020
Little thin shy lines of green light
Stretch out their heads
Connect
If allowed
And send a beating
Pulse back
Have your heart melt
In no time
Me and You Nov 2020
Insta
One click
Chapstick safe
No view
Eyes down
Frown covered up
Under layers
Of safeguard
Systems
No stare
Gets you
Your hair never
A mess
Dive down
Lovely
Soul thrives
Elsewhere
❤️
Me and You Nov 2020
A merciless clarity rubs
Your white collarbone *****
At your lips
Has your breath hitch before
One final
Twist of your gut
Me and You Nov 2020
Night exhales
Her cold breath in your face
Telling you stories of fear

A nightingale shouts
Her little heart out
For your soul to hear
Where to reach

A rush through the air
Your head tilted back
By a violent grab of your hair

A little bird's flutter
Two lips that stutter
A motionless prayer

A story of Night
That likes to play make-believe

A young pounding heart
That learns within brief
It was played from the start

This tale
Just a dream
Of tonight
I honestly do not know what has gotten into me. Scaring myself a bit.
Me and You Nov 2020
In the middle of the middle
of no space
a pair of yellow, childlike eyes,
innocent and with
just a trace of oblivion,
opens
Is it open, or opens?
Me and You Nov 2020
A girl in the streets, *****, untidy hair a scary look on the face plays
a violin facing
all the while
the man who hates it

One by one he
cuts
her strings but she
keeps playing without a single
alteration on her face

Not even after the
very
last
string has - with a final thud - been cut in half
does she stir

And only when -

It's only then that he does realise
grows pale and with wide eyes feels something sting:
the sound never came from the instrument.

He exhales
gives in
surrenders to the
vibrant sound surrounding
his every cell and hair and thought
bathes
in what ought to be
for so long
Me and You Nov 2020
On her penultimate breath she
pulls out the shiny
new old card in her deck which reads
I am sovereign
holding it up to show
to trigger
another kind of
mass-effect
Do not hide your very personal opinions. It's fine if they mean most to you. It's fine if they do NOT coincide with what you think is public opinion.
