out
of fear
that some
day you would
too fade away i lost
sense of time trying
to map out
your
face
but your
features are
timeless just like
our mistakes; but i
don’t regret the way
we bloomed those
days

(if)
(your darkness)
(continues) to dance around you
i (will) find its rhythm and synch to that tune
& if (you)r stars refuse to quit falling as you roam
i will (swim) across oceans to catch them
and i will take (back) your light
(to) guide us back
**(me)

with no
need for permission
or judging transitions
the S u n keeps on rising
a self-proclaimed mission

such divine compositions
my kaleidoscope v i s i o n
feels as my minds-eye
lets me blindly
listen

i am
a collection of
chaos and calmness
some may call it a mess
but what i see is depth
in the transparency
my soul has
met

life can
be so unfair
but our souls came
with blueprints to bloom
—with DNA to brave
the swamps of
despair

learn(in)g
to (love) myself
a l(i)ttle bit LIGHTer

(let)ting the laughs
linger longer (in)
the (lows)

i watched you bloom
in retrograde’s view
and felt the stars
fall in Love
with you
too
