light as feather

my embrace to you            from the back

wasn't at all planned

it sprung from affection

deposited through the cells of my being

I thought you'd see that coming

and that you were aware

caught off guard, an inch

it froze us for a moment

before you jolted a verbal respond 

but even before it settled

I remembered your scent

and how you snugged in            light as a feather

it was a hug that was mutual

albeit defined within parameters 

caught off guard, an inch

we shifted, both you and I

amongst the music played

I wasn't assuming anything 

no agendas

I offered        in the present

it was clean, yet

sorry that caught you off guard

in my eyes, I knew you are a gentle soul

I might not know who you are

but I see through it all

in that moment 

a hug would suffice

for you are to me            an endearment

light as feather

Sunk

my body sinks into the bed after the rainfall

my nervous system, heightened                an irregular rhythm

you left me a spot, with no room to go 

my heart beats in the pulse of a triangle

            as I witness myself

were we fully aware? of what could go wrong

or if we could soar, instead of falling flat

perhaps our difference is that I could only see the good

while you, a pessimist 

fear not, if escalation is of a pout

I will take flight lightly

my body shall heal 

until I see you again

Fall Again

A new season starts, with a faint smell of blossoms

I remember your frequency, just like your scent and touch that will be eventually encountered

Oh I do like you. I see you so distinctively,

            like the sun, warm and bright 

You funny person. Happily being yourself -

I see you, living in your own world

with such freedom

            oh such joy is to be with one's self

basking in your own light

Thank you for your honesty

and for demonstrating what's possible

may you shine, always, in ways that you naturally do

you ball of light

loved

Your forever fan,

Lynn
