For J. Always
Nina Aug 23
Where are the birds
they follow the light
without holding it tight
oh how far they fly
in this clear sky
& they carry
all this
hope
they carry me to you
I need no shoes
in the sky
to fly
have you ever seen shoes
in the sky?

Nothing less
Nina Sep 8
I am used to things
being fragile
but you feel
like soil
like earth
like the ground
I was walking on
all along
and I want to
flip the world
upside down
& hold you up
to the stars
for you deserve
the whole sky
& nothing less

My love for you is like
eight
but turned sideways
it’s endless

Of wanting
Nina Jul 1
Feels like being tied to
a tree
when I want to
fly
I hold you so
high you’re my whole
sky
I dance to the
beat that you
give
you’re my speed
you’re my space
you’re in every step
that I take
you’re my grace
come untie me
& let me
fly
to you
let me stay
ask me to stay
and you’ll never have to ask again

— The End —
