last breath

with my last breath,i summon all my courage,and as your pearl tears sink into my skin,i put my hand on your cheek,kiss your sorrows away,and tell you, “i love you.but don’t wait for me.just remember,i’ll always be there for you.”

candy

sweet tangerine on my tongue,mingling with my tastebudsas a zing runs through my veins,balancing on heady high

efflorescence

when the sky clears uptrading gray skies for sky blueand the brisk spring airskips over your tongue,purple, pink, blue, red petals unfurl,slowly,sweet honeysuckle filling the airwith the heady scent of beautyuntil the petals stretch outto its neighbors,gently touching hands,as the blue skies turn darkerand the petals retreat,waiting for the next morningto blossom again

reassurances

when your insecuritiesgrow too loud,and your criticssnarl and yell(more than usual),remember a rosehas sharp thornsin its side,yet it still blooms(in green-fingered spring)with the beauty and graceof a powerful queen

first kiss

under the street lightoutside some random beat bar,against your red car,love burning in our eyes,our breaths curling in the night,lips on lips,sweet and gentle,chocolate and caramel,to the backdrop of yells and singing,we were in our own world,soft and sweet

i raise my glass

to the roads ahead,and the miles we have yet to tread,i raise my glass to you,and the guiding stars and moon
