have we become the chameleon
our love phasing with the moon
our colors change in blooms
comfortable in this ambient lighting
where midnight blushes settle
our passions evolve to passages
while your rainbow of shaded pink
becomes a sacred sanctuary
memories of what we left behind
keeping
i am not
a nice man.
there are parts
of me
that stopped asking
to be fixed
a long time ago.
i learned
what survives
when softness
doesn't.
then there
is her.
still gentle
in a world
that keeps mistaking
gentleness
for permission.
she makes me
want to stand
between her
and whatever
comes next.
not because
she needs saving.
because i know
what the world
does
to good things
when no one
is watching.
so i give her
the only protection
i have ever
been good at.
i tell her
what i see
before the world
gets close enough
to make her
forget it.
she is good.
and i have spent
enough time
among ruins
to know
what is worth
keeping.
passenger
she says
she was married once
and almost died
inside it.
not metaphorically.
some lessons
leave no room
for metaphor.
so she took
three small lives
and got them
out.
eight years later
she is still
everything.
the hands.
the roof.
the answer
when something breaks
at two in the morning.
she says
she wouldn't know
how to sit
in the passenger seat
and let someone else
drive.
i believe her.
some people
forget how to rest
when nobody ever
comes to relieve them.
still
there is this woman
underneath
all that capable.
still wanting
with both hands.
still soft
in places
life had every reason
to harden.
she calls herself
meant to be alone
like loneliness
is something
you can earn
by surviving enough.
says she accepts it
willingly.
then laughs
and calls herself
a waste
of a fantasy.
i think
she has carried
everything so long
she mistakes
not needing help
for proof
none is coming.
and maybe
the hardest thing
she will ever
put down
isn't the weight.
it's the certainty
that no one
would have stayed
to carry it.
fall into this mess with me
where rolling thunder
drives us snuggling
to forgive future illusions
tangled together
a sleek reckoning
where reality dreams
a cry of one voice
from two mouths
mischief in evolution
hovering as a tease
to burn the world
coming together
coming undone

We love to see your creativity
She will light your way through darkness
In a world so dim and silent
She sees the struggles, knows the pain
Of a weary soul that seeks the rain
She walks a path, in winds that show no mercy
Though storms may rage and blow, you’ll always hear her raspy voice calling your name
Phrase: Reality dreams Tag: #bionicanadian@bionicanadian 4likes/RT Pic⬇️@FoxProse
Reality dreams of ethereal places, like a moon swept night of stars cascading into the land of slumber. Gnomes as sentinels, lantern the way in the forest of fairies, watching nature lumine woods!
