Let me stay like this.
Holding your hands, touching your lips.
Let the sun silently strikes our skin.
Let the morning air moves in this small space.

Let me stay like this.
Looking at your beautiful face
Face I waited so long to see
Eyes closed, thinking of nothing, thinking of peace.

Let me stay like this.
Listening to the beats of your heart.
Closer, so that I can hear my name in every pump.
Your heart gives me peace, and my heart wants to jump.

Let me stay like this.
Let the time stops.
Don't go morning, don't leave me, my heart.
Don't leave me, my love. You're the morning I stare.
Your breath warms me. You're the soul I want to stay.

Let's stay like this, don't mind the tomorrow, don't mind the world.
We gather them,

These stolen moments,
These orphaned seconds,
These lost dark minutes.

Stateless, Unattached,
These refugee clicks
With no form or voice
Do not belong here.

We pile them up,

These off cuts of time,
These shards of passing,
This swarf of tempo.

Shreds of interval
And dislocation
With no named event
To give them title.

And with our small words we bind them,
A suture in the wounded day,
To make a tiny poem of the scars.
Oh, how I wish I was a child again.
So care-free and naive.
Innocent and wondrous.
Curiosity would fill my mind and all the wondering's I have discovered would complete the gaps.
New friendships would be the highlight of my day and a cut on the tip on my finger would ruin it.
Oh, how I wish I was a child again,
living life to the fullest.
Ivy Botticelli
The weight of these words
rolling around in my head
are breaking my neck
one thought at a time.
this is no fun anymore
this has gotten old
she is like running water
she is hot and cold

sometimes she is so warm
sometimes not so nice
she is a burning flame
she is fire and ice
