Confetti Cannon

 

If I fired up my heart

like a confetti cannon,

spraying all my love from inside.

Would you catch

the strands as they fall?

Would you hold them

in your hands?

Would you call out

that you feel the same?

Or would you walk

eyes to the ground in shame?

Would my name sit

in the pit of your stomach

aching to rise?

or would it just drown inside

as you walk on with your life?

 

Do you shake with anticipation?

Quaking in the knees,

thinking if we catch eyes

the world will become wavy

like raging seas.

Do you even think of me?

Or do you see a different world

through a field of autumn leaves?

 

When the moon sits full

and my whispers speak

of how beautiful

it is to me, do you see that

the moon I view is a portrait

of you and the stars

are your own stage lights,

in this adoring play of life?

Or do you see a different view?

One where the moon reflects

on someone who makes your heart swoon

like yours does mine

when I see a vision of you.

 

If I gave my heart

sealed with a kiss,

would you hold it close?

Letting the rhythm

lead you

in a dance full of bliss.

Or would you return to sender

in a box marked with a kick

whilst you dance to another tune,

under a different moon,

with autumn leaves swaying

around your feet, feeling my name

stuck in your gut,

giving you stomach ache.

Your name

 

I feel an ache in my gut

and it's getting bigger.

Stretching out around me

like a balloon,

and I am in the middle

just waiting for the pop

as reality bursts

back around me.

It just won't stop.

The yearning

The longing.

The earth is turning

but I’m stuck

just thinking of you.

 

I have a crack in my heart,

it's seeping over my lungs

into the lining of my stomach,

pooling up all over the top.

It makes me lovesick.

I feel every hope

rising to the surface.

I just wish to be where you are

holding your hand

as we watch the stars.

Listening to your breath

like it’s a song from the angels.

 

I'm running on fumes

longing to be

holding on to you

love,

but you float away

like every dream

I’ve ever had

and all I’m left

is a weighty feeling of dismay.

No one even knows the tears

that flow inside me.

Outwardly my face shows nothing.

Inside I am full of rivers,

icy depths that need reheating

by the power of your heart beating

beside me.

 

You are beautiful,

more beautiful than

any earthly view.

You carry a special light

inside of you, like a star

that has crashed to earth

and I’m drawn to you

like your gravity pulls me in

to become one with your burning flame.

Your name shines in

every thought that

flitters across my brain.

Your name dances across the rain,

in a strobing light show for the eyes.

Your name sits on my lips,

in a wish kissed to the skies.

Your name is nectar to my throat

Easing the rawness

of the tears on which I choked.

Your name is hope drawn

in scrawled crayon sketches.

Your name sits like the milk bottle moon

singing her luna tunes to me.

Your name stretches across the universe

and yet I hold it tightly inside for all time.

For love is all I can ever feel.

A smile forming

 

Seeing a smile

forming

on your lips

lightens

the day

more than the sun

in the sky

or the flowers

that sway

on the roadside

along the way.

 

Your eyes

shine

like stars

twinkling

across the

darkest night.

The smile pulls me in

like the moon luring

the tides closer

as they beckon

the seaside towns 

to swim.

 

And I’m drowning.

 

My heart is

dragging me down

like a lead weight

that I’m tied to.

I feel the current

rushing through

every nerve,

and I want to swim.

Oh, so much

I want to swim.

But I feel I don’t deserve

the happiness

that you would serve,

so, I just swerve

the hope as it flies

headfirst

towards me,

and I dive deeper

into this sea

of inadequacy

 

Cast me

a moonbeam

to cling on to,

a ray of hope

to swing on

through these

washed out thoughts

that cloud my days

with thoughts of you.

I want to see your smile grow

every day.

I want to see

the stars streak

across your eyes,

the glow

in your cheeks

as your lips

start to rise.

That magic smile.

I want to see it

when I open my eyes.

I want it to

be the last

I see

when the

daylight dies.
