100words: poem #2

you, so silent and so loud
[all at once]
like no one’s ever had the
courage of being
your knowing smile,
your soft, quick touches –
giving me hope and
a fleeting glimpse of life,
reminding me so subtly that
even now, after all the broken hearts
and long, trying nights,
i still give my heart away too easily.
you make me feel the way the sun must feel,
extraordinary, brilliant,
an important part of all that is beauty and alive
but I’m well aware that days change,
suns set, moments pass,
and at the end of it all – I’m not.

What a
Beauty, he told her
stroked her hair, held
her hand, touched her
cheek.
promised the air, the dirt
all to her
over and over
and over
again
until finally,
she believed him.
but make no
mistake,
there was never any single
simple
thing about it
set in stone.
it was always
up
and
d
o
w
n
with them, like
the all of us
and we believed
because it
was all we could do;
we believed
because
we so longed
to
at least, until he
left, saying
“you’ve lost
every bit
of what I
ever
loved in you”
