me again

Me Again

I only know that there's a thread ...a connection that nothing breaks
it was there the minute we met
it was just always there
meeting you was like walking into my backyard and chasing dragon flys
beautiful and perfect
and you never think about how it happens

you just know that one day your bare feet are caressing the blades of the summer grass
your arms outstretched towards the sky
your mouth turned up in the smile of a child
lightening bugs like diamonds flying through your hair
the moon writing down all the words that your heart is singing forth
within the melody of the crickets

you don't know what compelled you to push open the creaky screen door
and run across the field
but there you are and it's just perfection

when I talk to you
there's this part of me that opens up
a part that opens up for no one else
I could always write words
but with you…since you…the door falls open to my soul
and they just spew forth like music
and then later I go back and read it and I’m in awe

in awe of you hiding inside my thoughts
you
only you do this to me
just you

I’ve spouted off about love and everything it means a thousand times in poetry
and it was all like whispering in silence
rather like nothing in the end

and then you came along
and something happened
like magic falling from the clouds like droplets of candy
and all I wanted to do was tilt my head back and catch them in my mouth
tasting you
remembering you
feeling you slide down into my heart so that I can feel you
forever a part of me that stays

just you
do this to me

you're like sunbeams on that comic strip
that baby used to talk to the sunbeams
do you remember that?
that baby in the comics
trixie

you’re just like that feeling
smiling in the sun
feeling safe and whole

you make me feel content just feeling close to you
you make me happy just being me again
