~Rain~

it was raining

that night

it was as though

it was lit

through a mirror

falling away

to a black ocean

a bell

lonely

and beautiful

there’s no such thing

as time

the sleepy black stars

fell from its course

into purple

curls of smoke

it’s so feathery

I met you

all at once

and unexpected

yes I am a dreamer

and these feathers won’t stay

for long

I will try to hold you

with my heart wrapped around yours

the sweetness

won’t break

it will stay soft

butthere’s

no guarantee for such a dream

as this

so fragile

and crystalline

be careful

not to fray

the edge’s

catch me when I stumble

I can’t do this alone

I can’t depend

on shadows

and false caress

of breath

every glass is half full

dancing in the stars

the nights are our’s

crying drunk tears

together

wanting to hold on tight

a candle

you don’t want to miss

take your time

with me

on this
