one day
love will find you
and send you
careening off a cliff
in a tumble
of breathlessness
and parisian poésie
sparkling with midnights
and soft streetlights
peering in at us
clinking together glasses
of regrets pressed
into red wine
fine red wine nursed
into the blood
flowing through our veins
a little faster tonight
spilling back out past our lips
in the form of secrets
that rush out
like waterfalls
loud and crashing
and daring the beautifully deadly
to come forth and love,
daring the souls who always venture
too far
and we do
we wade in the waters
trying to find each other
in this freshwater saltwater
lake ocean river—
who knows where we are
when i'm just drowning
trying to start loving
the way i already am
dreaming of something more
the way i am simply careening
off this cliff
pulled down a waterfall
waiting to be caught
in your arms
but who knew
you were falling
right beside me
and no one's to catch us
when we fall
somewhere deeper
than confessed regrets
and the crisp curling air
of a bakery's morning
and warm apple strudels—
something that pulls
at our heartstrings
to make us merely puppets
in a play
about the love
that sent us careening
off a cliff
to a plummeting
beginning
to a faraway ending
where rushed out secrets
meet slowed down somethings,
less frantic, more wanting,
tending to a garden
that sometimes wilts
sometimes thrives
but is always yours, always mine
(will edit this more later<3)
love,
mari
