As she was talking of herself,
Telling stories of the past,
She realized fully how
All these memories overflowing with emotions that at the time were so big and real,
Are moments long gone.
They are just words now.
Paint on a canvas to create a picture
For the listener of her
Life.
Every emotion
Felt in a lifetime
Crashing in my gut all at once.
You and I
Face to face.
Loss for words.
Our voices faltering anyway
At the enormity of emotion
In a touch,
A gasp.
And breathing is enough.
Our hands know the way,
We know the way.
The thrill.
Euphoria ignited.
And there we meet together as if
On the very head of a pin.
All thoughts dissolving,
Look no more.
Space-time blooms evermore
And hearts erupt in unison.
Tangled.
Submerged.
You and I
Every inch of skin
Pressed.
Heartbeats thump through
Veins;
A morse code coursing
Unending.
Body language
Perceiving intuitively
Where to go,
When to move,
When to breath.
Stillness absolute.
I dreamt a dream of times past;
Of you and I.
And I was overwhelmed with
Emotion.
I began to weep.
How can my heart be light yet heavy at once?
Thinking to capture you
I reach for pen and paper.
To write you down.
To read you forever.
But,
The ink had run dry.
To tired and weary to rise from my bed
I kept the memories
Lit inside me.
I placed my head on my pillow
And went back to dreaming instead .
I used to bathe myself in
Other
People’s emotions,
Until I could not tell up from down.
And I began to drown.
I could not find the air.
I
Could not tell which feelings were mine
Or theirs.
And in a matter of time
I was
Suffocating.
I don’t know if my heart can make anymore
Emotion.
I think the gears are permanently
Broken.
They are seized up
And frozen.
Searching for a current
To jolt them into
Rhythm.
When I call out in hope,
All I hear in response
Is
An echoing emptiness.
