we are

A piece about what constitutes the storybook of my hand in her's and her hand in mine and what we are, time after time..

And sometimes the inspiration comes from the very depths of the soul..

“we are”

we are forever changing skylines

where our once shimmering sunlight 

bends so violently beneath the darkness

the darkness of the night

we are making love to different hues 

of royal blue, charcoal gray, and

the very ghost of our once fabled innocence

that delicate white flower love betrayed

we are swiftly fading starlights

oft burned by the cosmic elegance

that is seated in the very indifference

which keeps us brittle and so far from right

we are lethal drugs of different shades

of lavender heartbeats, undiscovered poetry,

and the temptations of white satin lace

that tears our future from the notebook 

page after page

we are weather worn smiles

and engaging debates

we are devastated memories

with scars that remain

we are winter blown kisses

and the howl of the wind

we are imperfect angels

with crooked halos

we are stars that rebuild

we are phrases that linger

and stand out on the page

we are moonbeams repenting

for stealing the stage

we are heartbreaks and happiness

and yet so much less

we are the masks that embody us

yet they do not protect

we are the shadow of bravery

and yet we love and we bleed

and we do it no less

we are the epicenter of emotions

and we are the core of change

we are everyday people

that dance in the rain

we are lightning and thunder

when it is dry and without cloud

we are lovers far from each other

and we are far too proud

Thanks, Josie. :)

It's an old one, but one of my favorites. I'm not sure I really have a structure, but I like to have a flow, and this was just one of those that always comes back to me when I reflect on things I've written I actually like. *chuckles*

I appreciate you taking the time to read and respond. :)
