I see you others might think you're looking at the sky but I know you're moving through memories stories in constellations you're crying because there is nothing new to see love used to be so easy this is hard so alone you want a witness the only one you can't have I know I know #SenseWrds 277

Recite again the poem your body wrote me— your arms reveal the first verse, encircling me in such gentle words then your lips impart the second with eloquence but it's when your eyes describe in mine all the depth & beauty of the night sky— then I truly succumb to your artistry. #sensewrds 277

What has happened to the wonder in me? I used to look out into the night & see the stars— now I just see the dark. You have long been my light, remind me that I am made of magic & that stars burn inside me— even when I can no longer see them. #sensewrds 276

Tentative on padded toes with who knows what feline intent approaches the outstretched hand Salty sweet maybe sticky hidden by bright wrapping a trick or a treat they say maybe maybe a favorite Like lightning into the sack and off at a run into the night a howl wonder of creation #sensewrds 276

we used to be mirrors I remember turning as you turned & then synchronicity, the held breath, hands reached, fingers touched, sighing you used to be a reflection in the water you were looking up at me and I saw your face and the sky and sunken leaves your hair the fullness of autumn #SenseWrds 276

something mythical lives behind the light her goosebumps know first a warm shiver rising hand hovering at the latch lips parted pulse slowed sweet prayer she wove her veil from dusklight she lingers aching breath held before the holy #sensewrds 276 #poetry
