scribbled heartbeats hidden in pages
breath pulsing against the cheek
a heart that thumps beneath fingertips
grass blades breaking under the weight of two bodies stacked
and mouths smacked together

time is irrelevant
the rest are just ghosts
& the world
will slide into shadow with the bright of conjoined lives

the romantics have been pushed to sea
the ***** in our skulls dissuading the heart from leaping
where did the skeptics slink from?
slide back into your passionless tomb

this life is a heartbeat long
and it’s being wasted
on pebbles painted yellow
weigh down your pockets and when you find True Gold
hope that you have the courage to slice open the sleeves
and let the fools tumble out

the aching brilliance of the universes cruel joke
that fear that keeps us from leaping in fully
its a sad slide into lonely suicide
when you find the golden one
hold on and let the Love destroy what you were
and blossom you into what never dies

In the field where the stars turn into roses
come, take a risk
that is no risk
for Love like this is an embrace
that will never end.
