her eyes bear a resemblance to a dream
to a stream fitting consciousness
walls fall down around us
skies crumble, heavens await in hushed breaths
and we kiss
and the world puts itself back together again once these lips part ways
until the next one.

when the words stop
our breath is on the windows
a kiss sends me from an almost empty parking lot to
a list of possibilities. a stretch of days imagined.
the ones with you much better than the ones without.
i stop and stutter at your every eyelash flutter
that tells me... "yes."
i know i am a clown.
an impatient clown who gazes down, around, stares off at lights
when the truth comes bearing down, i love these crushing nights
but you know that when my gaze switches
when my heart recovers from the oldest stitches
and my eyes take on a look of grace
held in the beauty of your face
i'm more me than i ever am.
you know when the words stop i'm in love with you.
