~After reading some incredible poetry right here on the Soup~
I dreamt of you today:
seven golden hearts beating the sun to dust
with feathers in every button hole
and two strokes of midnight behind your ears
You riddled a universe out of your mouth
with words wearing saddles to break out and run
while those running after, to harness your light
padded their feet in the clouds
I wished for you today:
eyes glowing green and tinting the air
with tinsel in silver caught up in your hair
and sun spots to tickle your tongue
You broke every boundary in glass and in fire
with quick inspiration absorbing the void
while the rest flailed like firefly catchers at night
with still darkened palms opened wide.
