Moving

O you golden clouds
floating on the horizon

Islands in a 
sea of pink
melting into
orange

I don't know you
etched across
my heart

My wings are
Clipped
my feathers
far away

You show me
riches,
cascading rows
of flowers,

Your colors spill
onto the
baking street,

You burst with pride
and kindness falls
in showers,

Shimmering in the
early summer heat,

Curtains falls in layers
o'er the dimming sky,
shades of 
navy
rippling to my feet,

It's all so 
Perfect
why should I
feel sad 
now

My eyes
dry
Tears now
streaming silver stars

Don't let me leave
Don't ever let me go


My smile's twisted
between
joy and sorrow

    You said you would give me
    Anything
    to see me smile,

    And of all the things 
    you could give,
    you chose
    Insanity.

    I'm crazy for you,
    tripping over my own words
    as my heart twists itself

    Amber eyes
    meet deep, stunning brown

    I’ve never noticed
    Amber
    looked like
    crackling embers
    falling down

    like rich, warm honey
    falling through the cracks;
    autumn leaves
