loving you

meant breathing in reality with the suspension of fate

that the fiction of happy endings and fairy dreams

mere stories as placeholders to make a heart believe

until the day when genuine love-stained grit envelops a naive heart

that heart is mine; are You

jurri j.

the realization

that feelings like clouds break in waves both jagged and round

moving silently against the heat beating buried beneath

casting light against their surface with transparency so deep

murals of fear, love, and doubt paint a body’s natural sky

the me, the you…today falls away

to the seconds of an emotional Atmosphere

jurri j.

show me

the shapes you keep hidden from a social point of view

where secrets sleep in shadows that describe your authenticity

the place where you burn bright with pure electricity

and i will fall carelessly within your character’s edges

comfort in the way your vulnerability Moves

jurri j.

i turned

toward the soft light flowing beyond a kitchen window sill

a precarious hope that those arms would find their way across my waist

my imagination fires away with my back against possibility’s frame

yet the realist in me knows daydreams can haunt more than nightmares

i break and look into the place unoccupied

the wonder of solitude Breaks
