Aww home.
So sweet
so kind.
And how could I have thought differently.
You caressed the new
I caressed the jar as they rattled
rattled within my bones.
Laugh a little!
If there wings grew like the grass,
our journey would've taken a much shorter time.

It's easier when
I
can't
kiss
you

So i remember that one night
I heard the wind break again,
like when i would stumble on the shore,
your hand on my wrist guiding me to resist
stumbling upon the rubble that was broken
from my previous falls...
You knew the whole time.
You're broken smile tells the world,
who you aspire to be.
And I am with you.
How could i become so fortunate.
To race in the forest of your mind
in the wilderness of your being.
How fortunate am I.
To rest in the shade of your breath.
to close my eyes to the obstacles of your heart.
Knowing you control your stars.
Knowing you complete your being.

And you know.
You've always known.
So gentle with your hands as they turn over mine.
I hope you don't notice.
But you absorb my information,
like a barcode you read me.
But I feel no grief
only the abiding relief
I find.
With you.
As I rest.
Upon your shoulder.
As the night puts on it's cloak.
