Ramblings – The Gap

Haiku for Spring

Yes, I cried today

The sun hasn’t felt this warm since

I was last in love

The “hands off” sign has made you more exotic and my

loneliness has only sparked my

craving to be touched

And I’ve just been blind all along

Fatally distracted and chased by boys sparkling with

effervescent toxicity

like poison to an open wound or a sirens call

You are an ocean

Recklessly crashing into rocky coasts

wild waves keeping me on my toes

powerful currents inevitably pulling me

out to you

If love were always fine and clear,

I’d give it all to have you near

For every flower, twirl and kiss,

I’d have your there upon my lips

For every body you’ve caressed,

My love for you I would confess

If loving you were not so free,

I’d give you all to be with me.

If all the rivers flowed to you,

I would so quickly grab my tube,

To ride the current, rapids and all

Eagerly awaiting you after the falls

Arms outstretched and reaching to you

No one said you’d be reaching too,

Falling fast you catch my hand

Pulling me up and on to land

We catch our breath nearby on a stump

Then laugh, grab hands and run

And jump!
