Yet Another Untitled Poem
I've been wanting to do more on the topic of intimacy.
More on the frailty of a birds heart and the flutter of tiny wings.
There is something fascinating about your eyelashes against your cheek bones and I wonder why I can fall asleep around you.
I wonder if its because I'm so comfortable that you lull me into dreams,
But maybe its because Ive been deprived of oxygen for so long. I come up to breath in your eyes and I only smoke cigarettes when you're not around to exhale smoke into my lungs.
And yes the drugs might kill me but at least they'll never break my heart.
At least I won't need to cry anymore and I don't know whats going on with me.
But I know the sound of your heart well enough to pick it out of a crowd,
And I'm convinced that maybe we came from the same solar system.
I know I need to leave this bed soon but darling,
Will you let me stay in your head?
All I want to do I nestle behind your eyelids so maybe I can see myself the way you do.
I want all the freedom that comes from running but I don't want to let go of your hand.
I want to apologize to the universe. I have found out its secrets about love.
Nothing is mysterious any more.
Ive been told that love might ruin me,
But I feel safe between your arms.
Tell me again how you'll never get tired of the sound of my breathing.
