for me

i love you

for the doubt

you show me still

possible in this body

where you show me

it sits in wait

for love like

a laser to

turn into colors.

no trick to

make it

leave, no

never. stay and cry

this bathtub full.

i love you like

her lips

smile, her eyes

(w/o makeup)

her hair

twirling

round her fingers.

i love you like

my favorite songs

always remind me

i love you.

that's what she said

man, it’s hard to come down from impossible hopes seemingly

Fieldwizards and firetops. Wobblybirds on snowflowers. Chilled milk and chowder for the little prince. Mothercake for mumbled thanks.
