This is me: Raw, unedited, and on fire

Raw, unedited, and on fire

May 2 insomniac's hearts meet

Are you sleepless, like me?
Can you watch the setting of the sun until it comes back up again?
Do you know the length of night, better than hours of day light?
Are you restless tonight?
Will you lay under a midnight sky just to count the stars that fly by?
Have you befriended the sound of the world asleep?
Are you also waiting on a dream?

once upon a chilhood dream date

Center your sights on a cloud in the sky
Spin fast little feet, around and around and around.
And when we fall down dizzy in the grass, I'll hold your hand.
We can name the shapes as they float by
Accumulations of cumulus sailing high.
Lay with me until the night sky blankets us.
Let the moon be our nite-lite.
The fireflies can be the spotlight for our puppet show.
As the night turns cold, I'll walk you home.
We'll play hopscotch on the sidewalk squares,
Oh, but look out for the cracks!
When we find ourselves at you front gate,
It will be a race to your front door.
No one wants to have to say goodbye,
But tonight I'll ease the sting when I kiss you on the cheek.
Goodnight.
