Poetry: Day 273


Gentle and wonderful words.

rose
(like the flower)
sweet smelling
and kind beyond measure
but I can’t reach you yet
you are too far
(five feet away)
(and you don’t even know it)

(rose)
sunflower kisses
and shades of blue
bruised and burnt
from attempting something
spectacular
trying to be stronger
trying to look stronger

(you are made of softer things)
(clouds and spun sugar)
life goes this way
doesn’t it?
poles apart
(a pool cue)
(thirty matchsticks)
(I checked the math)
and yet
we are magnetised

drag me on my back if you have to
through the dirt and the pain
drag me on my back

we can make it to the other side

if you dare
(like you so often do)
to take a chance on me
