poems for you. always for you. ✓

u n t i t l ed

i've never heard a laugh

such as yours before,

dangling like a star

brightly burning at my fingertips,

holding a wish long forgotten

but still deeply longed for;

piercing the air so sharply,

yet so warmly,

like a flame being struck

against the night,

and somehow that gasping of air,

that taste of unbridled unity

settling against our lungs

as we laugh together,

is something i'll always miss,

even when i'm still living

in this perfect harmony 

of a dissonant, hiccuping melody,

a mashed up medley of jokes swept aside

to make room to giggle and double over—

this moment i'm living, i will miss,

because laughing never lasts,

always halting a second too short,

lingering only in the flush of our cheeks

and the warmth of our hands

brushing against each others;

your charcoal-smeared fingertips

fumbling with my seeking, searching ones

that have finally stopped wandering

and now rest delicately intertwined 

with the hands of you,

an artist,

who knows the masterpiece

within herself

as well as she knows

the nub of her pencil,

or the lilt of my laugh,

yet an artist's heart loves

to jump

from piece to piece,

painting to mural to sketch,

and i just hope

i'll always be unfinished,

incomplete,

i'll always have cracks

for you to fill in with

a mourning violet hue,

or a mystic, burning blue,

so that i'll always be

your work

unfinished

and

evolving,

something that always needs

some laughter

and if you can spare it—

some loving
