Forcefield

Never give up on something you can’t go a day without
Thinking about
Your eyes
Write poems in my heart
As if laser beams and my heart iron
Or stone and your love the hand of God
Never give up on something you can’t go a day without
Thinking about thoughts come and go
But did you know feelings remain ingrained
And your body remembers the night you let me count
Your freckles and we traced the constellations
Beyond our Milky Way
How everything we didn’t know we needed was found
In the each other’s arms and under the covers
Became some kind of forcefield
We couldn’t get away from and kept everything else at bay
How you took the palm of my hand as if handling the rarest object
And you didn’t say your name was written all over it, thankfully
I would’ve hated that
But you noticed
The callus in my middle finger and asked where’s that from
And you noticed the callus near the middle of my heart
And asked where’s that from
And I told you that I write and I told you all
I survived
And you said it’s called writer’s callus and a brave heart
Never give up on something you can’t go a day without thinking about
As if written in the stars
Whatever verb made the universe

Someone

With whom I can eat
Dessert with and they’d tell me if I’m wrong
And if there are any strange growths
Lurking in the small of my back when we are old
Someone who can still inspire a song
In my soul when we sit in quiet
And we can hear each other’s darkness
Someone who is not afraid of my light
Because they are thunder and together
We are lightning
Someone whom I haven’t met yet, maybe
Or someone who is not afraid to
Touch the unknown, the absurd
And finds infinity written in the heat of our hearts
And palms when wold hands and we hear forever
And it sounds exciting when we say hello
And see you
Soon
Someone with whom I can play
With fire and burn the whole dam house down
Down where our demons live
So they can move in with us
Because we are no angels but together
It sometimes feels like
Heaven
