Each day's eternity goes by
in a matter of seconds
Life is a budding blossom
and a rotting apple
what am I?
Love is a sweet symphony
and an ear-piercing scream
who am I?
Each friend is a foe
grasping life's tender emotions
in one hand
what will the other do?
A kiss is a bite, a smile, a poison, a rainbow
A hug is a punch in the face
and a bond of warmth
One day I laugh
giddy with possibility
exploring myself
feeling through the soft velvet
of curious territory
cautious of new boundaries
sensing new-born flushed cheeks
smelling new people
The next day I sigh
people hurting each other
silly differences
building to satellite heights
mind-numbing boredom
trapped in my
10 year-old yearnings
Nuzzle the sunshine
Explode in lily petals
Sing through the stars
but my singing friend is sad
I've never exploded
I can't touch the rays
Where am I?
