and every night i go to sleep
wondering
would you say yes
if I asked you now?

You are there
Like an ache
In my bones
You are there
Like a heaviness
In my heart
You are there
Like a fixture
In my mind
You are everywhere
In the way I dress
And walk
And talk
And think
You are everywhere
Except in my arms

-jt

Shapeshifter
Girl of many faces
Got lost
In between transitions
What is your true form?
Carefully crafted masks
Set out in front of you
Which one
Will you wear
Today?

-jt

You whisper
my name
against
my lips

like
a prayer
to the gods

-jt

Kisses
Like
Coming Home
Warm
As the morning sun
Filtering
Through the window
Arms
Wrapping around you
Holding you
Keeping you
Safe

nubes current
caeruleo picto caelo
cantante vento
et flores saltant
gramibus
-it

the clouds run
over the blue painted sky
whilst the wind sings
and the flowers dance
with the grass
-jt

Covered by a blanket of stars
Their light
Dancing between my fingers
Smiling
At the simple beauty
Of the night sky

-jt

I am afraid
Afraid to grow old
To have my hair turn white
And my hands grow gnarled
I am afraid
Of time
Shaping me
Making me
A different person
Changing me
I am afraid
To forget
The time
Long gone
I am afraid
Of running
Out of time

-jt

Those moments
In which
My body is too heavy
To move
And i can’t
Find
The will
To breathe

-jt

You can’t compare yourself
With the unbroken girls
Surrounding you
You already shattered
Creating
A new form
Of beautiful

-jt
