"Heavy and Kind"
A change in
direction at the audible tone
Exercitation
of the intellect, my attention is held
A kind
hearted friend deceived
By an
unmatched supremacy
To your
sonorous call I reply
Opposite I
sit, quiet with fear
Your eyes pierce
mine with a hungry glare
A victim of
the Hawthorne effect
My framework
suddenly broken
A crumbling
foundation, cracked from the roots of your tree
The damage
of a welcome invasion
Into the
night, we walked
A familiar
feel, a clouded mind, a wanting heart
Shielded by
dissimilation
Virtues
hidden from your unspoken judgment
The bitter
taste, I savor
I hear no
voice but yours
A crowded
room with empty chairs
Like lights
so bright you can’t see the stars
An
unrealized potential
Burning inside
like the spirit I swallow
Attainable
now, a final reply
The city
lights, shy, watching from behind the curtain
No stone
left unturned
In a dark
room at the top of the stairs
Under your
wooden canopy I stayed
Too scared
to stir
The risk of
returning to your cold too much
But there
you laid, heavy and kind
Your breath
warm on my cheek
Holding me
in your air
Daylight
creeps in
Shining on
simmering coals
Unwelcome
exposure in a dark room with sensitive film
Shadows
replaced with honest tired eyes
Perhaps a
warning of the impending storm
Coming
towards a foundation still too weak to hold
A refreshing
breeze, a day anew
Two glances
behind, one deep breath in
A moment of
hope exhaled with the sharp air
The night
immortalized
I drive away
from the golden sun, breathless again
Reaching for
something more
Like longing
for a dream you wish was real
