~Mismatched~

look, the sky's awake

the brightest

vanilla twilight

and quiet purple

like an opalescent

arctic fox

the footfalls

like bells

beneath my skin

I found myself in colors

and realized

I always had a home

however haunted

if you want to find me

give me a reason

to want to find you

I am too much

and a lot more

I shrunk myself

to fit inside

the shadowed corners

because my dreams

kept spilling

dim your sun

to match my moon

dance

with your mismatched shoes

down all those

shy roads

that took me

to you

are waiting again

you said

the ocean calmed you

I thought you would want to see it

it’s almost time

to tell you the truth

so I wrote in the sky with flowers

while the rain blurred

sounds,

the confusion

of the passing days

reality

changes to a smile

from the dreamer
