PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

When you smile 
the world forgets to breathe
and all the air is 
set on fire.
 
What I mean to say is that
yesterday when you asked me how I was doing
it was the one nice thing that happened
all day, and I know
you’re just kind like that
but it made things a little bit okay.
 
You are the heat of noon sun and the 
slice of cake and the laughter of an
erupting mountain. Oceans turn still
when you meet them. You’re a ribbon
of bright red,
You burn so bright that even rocks melt 
beside you.
 
I want to burn my mouth on you.
 
 What I mean to say is 
it’s okay if we’re going nowhere, 
as long as I’m going
with you.
