It weighs heavy on me, the longing
Try to carve it out my soul with a knife
Warm, like a glowing ember
Heavy, like a wave
Dreams, sweet or savoury;
Trickle.
Wisps of smoke, hard to save
Heavy, like a blanket
Transparent, like a tear.
It weighs heavy on me, the yearning
Try to carve it out my heart with a spoon
Sharp, like a spear
Symbiotic, synchronised, synergistic;
Heartbeat
Wisps of smoke, hard to save
Heavy, like a secret
A dream, transparent like my fear.
It weighs light on me,
Like dawn breaking through storm clouds
Soft, like baby’s breath,
Smoke solidifying into bridges;
Dancing.
Sharp, like clarity
No longer wisps, but monarch wings
Light, like laughter
Real, like our shared heartbeat.
It weighs light on me,
Seeking meaning when the day breaks
Bold like strands of sunlight through the windowpane
Truth is fleeting, endless
Light, like dandelion fluff,
Sweet like cotton candy
Ceaseless, like our shared heartbeat.
