my world without you

340

chase happiness with me

sifting layers of atmosphere and rivers of watercress

hearing not the prayers of restless fears

nor gusts of time’s endless transformation

as if cheer was the only cure for dry tongues

and gladness, the only satisfaction for our lungs

you going so high, and i think i like

to stand next to you instead of swing myself

so i can watch your hair melt in the wind,

and see your laughter and try to touch you as

you fly past, my excuse to help you go a little higher

we found a tree to hide behind so our new friends

at the playground wouldn’t catch us kissing

they sang a teasing song,

but we just grinned because it’s true

all the time feeling that perhaps
