LOVE
It takes everything you ever owned
It rummages through every thought you have
It races across your heart
Stampedes into your routine
Lifts you higher than you can see
Dances into all the loneliest places
Colours the walls of your heart
With thick and gooey feels
It gives and gives and gives
And reminds you that there is nothing but honesty in those words dripping into pillows
Everything that scares you now pulls you from the seat
Throws you into the ring and shoots at your feet
You’ll dance and dance until the circus empties
You’ll call and cry into the stars
And wonder why you never saw it coming
The burn that strips away your essence
The fear that mounts in the throat
You can’t swallow it away
You can’t wash it down
It sticks
It rips
It repeats all the fuck ups you wished could be wiped
There will be tears that never end
There will be questions never answered
There will be armies of friends to you hold up
There will be all the sunny days of your beautiful soul
Dancing all on its own
Perfect & stunning
Strong & proud
Gifting you the power greater than before
Then
Like a warm Spring breeze
It
Something
will come
showing you it’s time to try again
And you will
You will forget what you own
You will let
butterfly’s dance across the delicate sand of your heart
The ripples of their wings
making your stomach empty
and eyes crave.
Longing
Relentless longing
For the lover to return
