I Breathe Out Loud

the deepest part of my heart has a key, gulping and squeezed, with precious tears, fears frozen with sweet memories, loving cup that overflows — a blue-blue fountain strumming in a garden with singing trees. § the secret garden of my mind flowing in four different directions, partitions of a red-red beating heart, a steady beat, massaged, alive by the hand of Christ. roses and tulips intertwine succinctly. § apropos petals propose a seasoned mix, a stir of scented wind. honeysuckle and lavender tryst fill my eyes with happiness but the winds always changing, often brisk and dating, the calendar flipping, flouncing § and the ground shaking beneath my knees whilst i breathe out loud, sensations of anxiety, ne’er knowing where life will lead but faith, ferocious faith and hope, yes-love must tender me a kiss via my savior. 12/4/2019
