a feeble orange light
knocks on her window
wanting to be let in
as it pours in the city
and inside of her

in each other’s arms
we become the elements itself
i’m parched earth
desperate
to soak your raining self in

a lightning strikes
and we’re birds flying home
fluttering our wings in harmony
trying to hold onto time
but it slips away

the clouds clear
and a cold breeze blows
i look into your eyes
and see the ocean
deep
marble blue
we’re swimming in it
you won’t let me
see the chests buried deep
it’s pain you say
and we swim along

we’re primordial humans
running into the setting sun
dancing naked
barefoot
on grass
around a fire
with tears leaping from our eyes

we’re streams
of ice cold water
flowing down a mountain
born in the spring
tussling
becoming one and separating
turning everything green

i’m light
trying to steal a glance
from your window
when it starts raining

she relents and lets
the soaking wet light in
her heart full of jagged scars
bruised and mended
over and over again
