PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

The sky is screaming

The moon is awake

I want to reach everything I can in this ocean,

make footsteps with your ghost

that fade away in seconds

like the bond we never made

I fall at your feet,

run a world away

I don’t know what I want

but I need to let you slip through my fingers

I want to know you but

I need to keep living

and I’m afraid if I touch your afterglow I’ll drown

The sky is smiling

as I kiss you away

moments and midnights

fading as I fall

But I have to fall,

past the beauty and the unknown,

past the wonder and frustration,

past being high on summer and perfect heartache,

through this sea floor

before I can breathe again.
