✨imagination✨ (poem)

I’ve let my imagination run away

    she’s off collecting flowers to toss in front of our path

it’s all soft lighting and smooth edges here

    not the only one stripped to the bone, this time

we are both screaming

    I am here

    can you see me

    this is bold and bleeding and alive

and we mustn't know anything else but this feeling

there’s nothing quite like here

    nothing better than these moments

    distractions 

    velvet daydreams

             lace coverings over this glass affection 

    it’s fragile, like us 

        we test ourselves against wall of bad timing 

            climb up the rooted and vined longing 

            we cannot help ourselves

I’d love to know you

    this way folds into the next snow-soft silence 

we cannot help ourselves

            we’ve tucked into safe arms

            the comfort of knowing there is a world inside us to learn

           but we are right now

           right now 

           right now
