~Dreaming~

~Photo by Emily Citaro

it's the
right weather
for daydreaming
a wake
up call

it's never
linear for me
supermarket flowers
are all
I can
hope for

a rose
trying to
grow out of
the muddy sidewalk crack
a smile
forces
a laugh

another vice
stop in
the moonlight
let me
touch
the wind

tempted by
bright stars
I can
fix
what's broken
don't try
to change
my memory

something always
gravitates me
to you
it's everything
you wanted
and everything
you don't

don't be
scared to
dream hoping
it would
turn sweet
again, one
door swings
open
the other
swings closed

flowers were
meant to bloom
and light you up
