#1 At Midnight
At midnight there is a biting chill in the air, unlike any other part of the day. The adrenaline is replenished, the skin crawls with goosebumps, the pupils dilate, the mind is eased of worry. It is the perfect solitude. I can hear myself think, breathe shiver cough. I can disturb the peace with a tiny call. At midnight there is certain serenity, unlike the daytime chaos. The wind is still, the clouds lurk in silence, the trees rustle to stay warm, the day is eased of work. It is the perfect atmosphere. I can see the stars wink, tingle, shake, shimmer. I can escape the stress with a simple fall. Everything has new life. Everything has new meaning. Only at midnight. #2 Nature I am an owl observing the night, lost and found by the twilight. I am a wanderer of the darkness, hoarder of the stars, the moon, and the sky. My lips are charred ash, burnt from the icy wind. My voice is a sharp thorn, tearing through a silent void. My eyes are embers, illuminating the trepid darkness. My fingers are slender branches, fickle and frozen from fear. My breath is a mineral, earth’s natural aroma. I am the night. I am the smoky wood. I am the kingdom, where lost souls wander in the night. #3 Affection The first hello, captured me from head to toe. My heart skipped a beat, then faster and faster. As I saw you standing there, I tried to hide my rosy cheeks, the darting eyes, the nervous speech. I tried to hide it all. You only smiled, accepting me for who I was. From that moment in May, I have never escaped your love. The second hello, claimed my heart. We had everything in common, the same person, only two hearts apart. I cannot help but to think, you came here for a reason. You were sent on a mission, to steal me away, to fall in love, to make me happy, to make me laugh, to make me cry tears of joy. I never thought I would be given such an extraordinary human being, you are the greatest light my life has ever seen. As long as you are with me, you will love me. As long as you stay, I will love you. It will be you and I, til the end of time, every hour of every day, I will fall in love with you, over and over again. #4 Beauty The road to beauty was hidden. No guidance, no signs. The path bled with color, a swirling storm of rainbows. The longer I traveled, the longer I wandered, the longer I ventured, I found my destination. My petals shimmered, my flowers bloomed, my leaves orchestrated the wind, my stem towered above the sky. The entire world was mine. Beauty was divine. #5 Reality We are different than the rest, diamonds in a pile of rocks. No love compares, our lives fall perfectly into step. Effort is nonexistent. I can show you my true colors. You can show me yours, paint a beautiful picture. Perfection is present, the idea is frightening. Where is the flaw? Why is my heart so full? My heart loves you. I want nothing more. With your presence, I am alive. Perfection is reality, I never want this dream to end. You are my forever, my fairy tale ending. #6 A Natural Encounter My mind becomes a ticking clock, turning with the music. My legs climb towards a hypnotic dream, into a starry wood. A pulse of night thrums through my ears, numbing my fingers and my heart. Chills carry across the silent night sky, replacing worry with relief. Alone in the woods, I watch the stars dream. I hear myself think. Nature has fallen asleep, a raw encounter with the planet. Heart pounds, head lulls to sleep, Imagination runs wild. Sounds rapidly pulse, shaped like a heartbeat, trying to be free. Smooth and fluid, a midnight dream. |
