Woken Dream


The pressure on my chest,
Threatening to burst my heart open…
I thought it would become more subdued
And I remain overwhelmed.

A growing sense of joy that invades my entire being
An intense elation that plays with sanity; constantly
I keep trying to find new ways
To tell you, show how I feel …

Because I have said it before
The same words
As we stroll…
Whispers when we kiss…

I have said it before
But I don’t tire of it
Every time, these words taste different.
The flavours don’t just last longer
They cover a growing repertoire of rich savours

I have said it before,
And it may sound the same.
But every time the musicality changes,
The array of colours in the air is wider:
A symphony in the making.

I have heard it before.
From your lips,
As we stroll,
In a kiss whispered to my ear,
In a hug that leaves me breathless…

You’ve said it before
And every time
It feels different:

A woken dream
A door…
A new world

Rooftops


It is stuck,
In the back of my throat.
Something rising in my chest...
This mass, it tastes of all the colours of the rainbow
I breathe it
When I close my eyes
I can almost touch it
Taste it
Sweet, spicy, tangy,
So rich yet so simple in my palate…
It whispers and tickles my ear…
It is everything at once
Fragrant like a garden in bloom
Sturdy and soft under my fingers
Loud and silent at the same time…
I am dreaming;
Wide awake…
My senses are confused.
And I want to scream it
Shout it from the rooftops
To all passers-by:
I love you Sonechko!
