Quiet and Breathe

[luceluna]

I trickled through a dappled hour, murmuring you,
And all I could muster were the flutters that made me smile
And my eyes crumple -
The pockets of secrecy, the dark corners
Where I withdrew into you;
Your unassuming ears and curls;
The glint of rebelliousness in your face.

I filter these things through my small hours
Until every nightmare you refuse to touch vanishes.

I have so many flowers left to braid in your hair.
I want to lacerate your smiles for not straining;
Touch you and remind you of your humanity.
I shiver to fill my lips and ears and heart with your honey.

Your spirit is crisper than it has ever been.
When your eyes catch mine
I fall, head down, on sunrise.
