PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

all I can do with my attention

is use it on other people

fold my wanting into a few hours together

I need your beauty to be the last signpost

before I fall asleep

I need your beauty to be more than

the sun dimmed down to reachable

my lungs are also a drowning

my words struggling to breathe

as I think how beautiful we would all be in the water

you go on tiptoe

leaving spinning galaxies behind you

so take me when you go

dream hunters who will never go back

I don’t want any of our endings to be canon

smile at me so I can spend

all my attention on a salary

I have found who I am here

spilling through water weaving webs of time

so I do it on purpose now

tell everyone I love them in the weirdest & most indecipherable ways

the electric back & forth of flirting or friendship

I promise I will never be able to extract

now I will shout it here

finger paint across every sky

a reminder that my hands can do more than work

I decide to be charmed by you

every moment that graces us

I take in all the scents all the views

If only I could make us a candle

I promise I would never blow it out
