amidst all blue,
all pure caribbean,
i thought of the ocean and the blooming gray sky

amidst all metallic
all sunflower yellow,
i thought your eyes could never look so alive.

it was 9 at night
in the backseat, full of sweat

and you looked at me like
everything living between us was silence,
not heated breaths or shaking chests
not your hands dug into the caves of my body.

and i closed my eyes not to forget
but to remember
and i leaned up
amidst the color of your lips
and everything felt like red
for a special boy

I wish it were still like that. I wish we stayed in bed until the sunrise and the birds began their day. We used to talk for hours on the rooftops of broken homes. One of them being mine. We lied upon the stars searching galaxies high and low for forgotten love. I was entranced in the way that you giggled and pointed at shooting stars. My wish was always you. I wished upon a shooting star that I could stay with you forever in the moment of hopeless love. The love we had as kids. At some point in time, the stars stopped shooting and the galaxies lost their shape for I sit alone on rooftops now and search for you but, you’ve never been found.
Remember when we'd watch the sunset?

I went home that day, and I wrote about the boy in the green hoodie. I thought a lot about him, but I couldn't wrap my mind around what exactly it was that I liked about him. It could have been the way he danced at midnight in my mind. Dancing around the moon painting pictures of my thoughts. It could have been the way he made me feel when I had no feelings at all. No emotions to untangle, none at all. I think it was the thought of the memories we would create, the ones I could go home to tell mother about. The thing is though I never figured it out. I never knew of any other boys like the one in the green hoodie but, I never once believed it is true that I’d find someone new that was just like you.
To the boy in the green hoodie, I like you alot.

lost in the music
lost in the sky
lost in the ocean
that lives in your eyes
//for my lovely e. although we’ve fallen apart- your name is still tattooed on my heart, my one love.\\

I held his hand
as if I hadn’t felt the palm
hundreds of times before,
all of my words
interlaced
in our quiet fingertips.
I kissed those lips—
they tasted like mint and ***
stolen from his parents’ kitchen cabinet.
I kissed and kissed
until I could almost forget
how restless I’d become.

The bed was too small for
the two of them
so he had to hold her close
his arm
a protective lock
secured around her waist
she fit into him
like a puzzle sliding into place
and he savoured
every point of touch
his lips to her neck
breathing in the smell of her
their lungs kept pace
with each other
and he cherished
every time
he felt her inhale
exhale
felt the beat of her heart,
and he wished
for that perfect moment
to be endless

she reached up,
fingers dancing in dapples of sunlight
weaving paths through the trees

her laugh
mingled with birdsong
and twirling through the breaths of wind

the forest
embraced her
the daylight tenderly wrapping her with warmth

she sang to the music of the earth
together they found harmony
as he marveled at her magnificence
