and cut with the smile of God
The night was young, or so it felt,
while the lovers kept dancing on
The hope was heavy, weighed by sun,
and the promise of darkness end
With a smile fade that could still be seen
while you gently held my hand

as the epilogue of two
the last thing I see
before my dying view
Treated like a prize
held like a goal
objects of affection
never food for a soul
But you love like footsteps
at a slow steady pace
filling my chapters
with a soft, soft grace

Perhaps a step before a fall
I stood in that doorway
At once forever, at once not at all
To believe it took my mother
To remind me of the worth
To see this haunted house
And step out for my birth
Well, that.
It almost made me laugh.

#poetry #vss365 [doorway]
there’s pieces of you in the air
on the sidewalk, a willow tree
the sparrows nest above my window
a flower sustaining a bee—
my universe repeats your pattern
until you’re all I see
until days light returns
and again you’re next to me
—j.e.m.
