You're a soul full of lightning
with a heart full of sparks
a body warm as sunlight
a mind more vast than stars
When you make others laugh I can tell
this is the only form of music you know
you yearn to strum the strings of someone
that will stay longer than tomorrow
I can see through your mischief
trying to disguise your innocence
you wanna be fun but stoic
but that's just so dissonant
I hope the next someone you meet
loves just how much you love to love
and feels the same anticipation you do
when you have someone to come home to
You could be obsessed, but still endearing
and despite your pain, you're still persevering
you'll make more mistakes, maybe undo your will
but a love like yours has dreams to fulfill

First Starlight of Summer
Your whole being is constituted by yearning. You miss the stars but have never seen a fully-realized night sky sparkle to life before your eyes. You write things, funny but short but profound, emulating the archaic cosmos that turns by its own unknowable calculus emulating love in all its celestial glory turning in that same cryptic way, but fully know neither and hardly know both, and it feels disingenuous, so you write about writers. It feels vaguely masturbatory, but it’s funny but short but profound and it impresses the people around you enough, so you run with it forever until you can’t anymore.
