Poetry

Entryways and Exits

Balancing
Between panic and panic
Just beyond reach
Crystalline portals
To new worlds
Beyond this one
Of heart rates and clenching

They take the forms
Of night skies
Dancing fields
Miniature hands
Shooting stars
Freckles faces
Celestial sounds

Always visible
Always audible
Always unattainable
Both escape and entrapment
Entryways and exits

Poetry

Relate

via Daily Prompt: Relate

It’s you and me in this nightmare
That’s as often as pleasant as it is painful
Shared dreams, shared cracks in the shell
Humanity intertwined

Let’s not forget each other in the maze
My dead ends need your ways through
And my soul needs the one that belongs to you
