Sunlight

a liquid smile scrapes the
surface of my chest;
my buoyant heart floating just
above the crest of golden air...
leaden panic settles in the niche where kisses
brush past, each flutter of lips
wearing more of it
a way.

mine own smile freezes...
here to stay as long as you.

I do believe that this is the first cheerful poem I have ever written.

Paper Hearts

dream to dare.
dream to care.
and my smile lights
the stars ahead;
on sleepless nights
in shallow dreams i tread.
from the deep sky
paper hearts cut-out
scatter in the air of lies...
it's only myself i doubt.

A bit of an old poem... I think I wrote it sometime in February.
Okay, so it's not that old...
I've been playing around my poetry style lately. As always though, I try to use e.e. cummings as inspiration.
