Maybe in May, things won't be so bad

Maybe in May, if I may, come over

and kiss you

undress you

not miss you

Like before

Maybe in May, things won't be so bad

Maybe in May, with the past behind me,

the future ahead

think with the head

but don't forget your heart

Like before

Maybe in May, maybe I may be,

me, at last

Mayflies

May fly

Each May

Ephemeral Ephemeroptera

Ghosts of life

of light

Out they fly in lines

Back in

Back out, pushing, cascading

Back in

Back out, like breathing

Inhale

Blink

A year

And next May they may fly

Ephemeral Ephemetoptera

Back in

Back inside

Your heart relaxes

You may still fly

Yet

Obsessive, at times

Timeless, alternately

Alternative and indie

Dying to meet like minds

Minds

When people can't look up

Up from their phones

Phones

My girlfriend at least twice a day

A day is never complete

Completely crazy

Curly haired

Hair brained

Obsessive, at times

I was at my lowest

Acting funny

No colours anymore

And my head keeps spinning

Running back to you

Running up that road

Running up that hill

Through the darkness

You didn't stand by me

Can't believe you played me out

Whatever happened to you?

Whatever I've done

I'm a few years older than you

Even children get older

I'm not the guy I used to be

I'm gonna make a change

At first you can't see anything

Not anything

But you

In such darkness

I'm not surprised

You can't see

Your beauty

Your beautiful

Your eyes soft as the sweet tea you make me

Your body so warm as you unmake me

Pressed against me

So no

I'm not

Surprised

To see again

Clearer than ever

In your eclipse

Green

Her dress

Brown

Her skin

Every gorgeous inch

Red

Her lips

Her kiss

Our burning passion

Co balt the door

Blue me away

With your colours

They fill me up

A palette of joy

A palette of life

Share it with me

And we are free

Its hers, actually

Tulips and roses

Two lips

Pressed together

A dress

An undoing

If you mix the strike of a lightning bolt

With the depth of her eyes

Perhaps you would come close to the colour

Its mine, actually

Or at least just a shade away

Don't shy away

Hold me close

Hold me tight

Forever more

It started with a knife to the throat

But you ended up cutting out my heart

It started with sharp words

Now your skin is oh so soft and gentle

It started with a race

Now I want to run beside you for all time

It started

But now I don't want it to stop

Orange hair

The segments fell apart, one by one

The unpeeling

Touching skin to skin

Mouth to mouth

Resuscitated

My life opening up like one of those

Blooms

You see in the pictures

The pictures

We took them

Where did that smile go?

Singing together on the phone

Kissing until our lips were sore

Snuggling close below the setting sun

Oh,

Orange hair

I remember when you were there

I hope now

I will be more fearless once again

Taking that leap

Down the rock on the fell run

Without knowing

Where my feet will land

But knowing

I have somehow run it before.

I will not fall.

My feet will not buckle.

I will make it

To the finish line

Every time

No matter which route I take.
