I  

In the dusk 

I see your mirror,  

Lit by the flicker of your match  

runs to see how far the light reaches  

and as you found me  

here on the edge, glasses smudged by stars  

I found I wanted to give  

and honor who you are  

II  

I waited until the dawn  

When the stars fade with my dreams  

For the sun to dry my tears  

And the birds to sing a new song  

anchor myself to today  

And be here still. 

III  

I see the blue sky  

And it sees me brown  

Cotton colored clouds  

Sets my direction unbound  

Shapes Above me is your face,  

Your lips i miss  

Kissed by your orange heat, sweet sweat, down your hips  

touch of green grass, affirms our weight  

The smell of purple rain makes above where we met  

I know what I know,  

but grey doubts hold me still,  

and I wander and wonder, lost in yellow fields  Heavy my heart beats, and it tells me to breathe  

To lavender over the right words  

whispers of an urgency to flee. 

I know to be empty  

Is to be open  

And Without you, i lay exposed to all that is ruined.  

Distance turn hopes into ash  

And here I cling.  

I saw him with you and  

I saw you happy  

White hot tears fill me,  

My eyes red, swollen pink  

Blooming fuchsia floods My veins,  

My voice,  

Cracked earth and steam.  

And as I fall  

above it all,  

Looking up at the world in your eyes  

The first color i ever saw  

Fills up the void  

with stories untold  

Hopes and wishes awash in the wind  

I hold on sticky and firm  

certain I won’t need to let go  

keeping doubt and reason at bay:  

I have no reason to hang on like I do  

While the breeze moves smooth across your skin ever warm and blowing in your  

desired direction
