"Not all those who wander are lost." ~J.R.R Tolkien


Blushing, hushing
Tripping on poppies
The air’s sweet exhale ruffles
Feathery dark leaves
Heavy, dragging sweetness pours from
The sensual crux of blooms
Hanging like lips on tongues to the soles of our petal feet
The world is in love
While we are falling out
Bright, timber eyes
Rumble deep into my skin
I wonder what he saw
Where all I saw were tremors in the
Cloth-wrinkles that hid less than the
Night did and did do the stained glass of our insides
Little, too little justice


The author's comments:
Why is the world so beautiful when I am so sad? I wonder this sometimes, wonder if Juliet ever stopped to taste the breeze or tumble down a downy hill before falling into the craziness of love. Maybe if she had slowed and paid more attention to the beauty around her, she would have given her life to the world instead of to a boy.
