THOUGHTS

Life, the chair has overturned, 

capsized after the end 

whatever the end was or still is 

i know i must rightly forget…

the purple sky sometimes makes the sun feel moldy 

when i think of the sun, i want to think of the Marigolds 

i think of the orange-red setting sun turning golden

when i think of the clouds, i think of the fields of tulips 

when i think of the stars, i think of your  freckles

and when i think about the moon, i think about your smile

that draws my breath and makes me feel life in every bone

those goosebumps i get just by imagining 

the desire i always hold to witness this all 

honestly, it doesn't matter if i, in this life, ever get the chance to do so

because i know for sure 

one day, up in the heavens 

i will be able to hold you close

and there'd be nothing to fear from

and i think it's the idea of ​​heaven that keeps me alive 

this thought lingers a pulse away somewhere 

i know it's not perfect 

but it means the world to me…
