I assign galaxies to you,

Bursting clouds of life to wrap

around

me

I assign gravity

To you,

A (please be) beautiful

weight (on me,

my love,

for I wish

to gaze upon your figure

colliding into mine).

I assign myself to you,

And you are the brightest star

I have seen (collisions turn to collapse;

please be colorful with me,

love,

for all our years you pull me in

you capture me

you won't tear me will you,

love,

you won't,

love, you won't turn your colors black?)

I have often wondered upon the power of the stars.

My heart beats in my hand,

Tender and tense;

Let me touch you,

Feelyour soul intertwine with

Mine

(v

n if only for a

moment).

My heart pours through my fingers,

Written vulnerable,

(I am strong and fragile

in these moments)

Trailed in sure strokes across the

Paper

(let me write mysteries upon

your

skin).

I am a passerby

To the woman,

young now,

Singing passion in the public shower.

I am a passerby

To the man,

aged,

peppered black and white and blue,

Singing silent passion

(perhaps it is

forgotten.

I hope not.).

Iyouwe am a passerby

To my own reflection,

Lost (within

Time

that I have yet to pass by)

Lost

Lost

Loss of way as we pass.

(do we really move forward?)

I am a passerby;

I pass herhetheywe by(stander

to my own revision,

to the lessons within the songs of these

reasons

that others live;

every br

e a h BEAT

t

touch

is a song).

We are much too often passerby.

I am trying to make

Stops

To listen.

In these busy days.

We resent empty air

(I'm writing inspired by

chips on my shoulder,

chips taken in,

The empty air that we breathe,

inouthold and then beg for it

                                          (o stay;

once you find purity,

it's so hard to l se),

Choking on air much too heavy for me to

Chip away at yet,

Choking on these thoughts that slip in through

Chipped doorways beaten

                    down.

(    below myself for the time being

                I am merely

)

Empty the air.

Rip apart your seems,

Trip within the noisesilencedentschips
