poesy

red light green light

the feeling of almost,

the door between worlds ajar, now,

as two lights dim and fade to black

shape shifting within square one

scary, illuminating, boundless

the taste of chocolate

warm possibilities

second, and third, and more, chances,

as many as I want

swirling in circles like the leaves

this night between two days

slowly slowly letting its cloak fall

liminal stream of consciousness

crazy-quilt multicolored keyboard tapping days/why hangs loose and ragged/smiles more precious when laced with grey/nursery school leg-hugs and warm friends/sunny day at a cemetery smirks and comforts/so long empty filled and left hollow/questions flung into silence twist into cinders/night dreaming wide-eyed in lushness and flying/loss and recovery/destruction and always always redemption/what will be looms calling/scary/enthralling/calling/pulling me/past the silver veil/fear and glory/uncertainty and passion/pressure and peace/feeling out loud/pandora’s box left behind hope

 

August 2012

open and shut

sunshine and sand and wide open skies/our world grew fast and bigger by the day/but not so fast that we couldn’t chase it and catch it/laughing as we rode it like it was our own creation/because it was/silvery nights we chased and danced across/dark lapels and white eyelet/inseparable until we weren’t/momentum of time and heartache and what ifs/you threw that lost world in my lap in a million colors of do you remember and I never knew/momentum of time and heartache and walls around you that split the chisel in my hand/our world grew smaller by the day/chasing it alone until last night/what I did for love floats away on silver balloons into the darkening night sky.
