Push and Pull

a poem

By Michele NampalliPublished 11 months ago • 1 min read

Elope with me there

Where wood suspends over air

As the river flows

Back into the sea, breathing

our embrace unweighted, free

My night, wait for me

The stars will align, one day

Our tether will hold

you hold a space here, the one

even when I pull away

In twilights hushed words

sway in the wind, met dawn’s light

a marked emptiness

Lured by Lucifer, heartache

Strong and dainty thread, consumed

The whole of us gone

Fluttering butterfly wings

Hold memories, deep

Float into parallel time

In that liminal space, yours

sweet nothings, drift on

an abode, willow trees sigh

Where the soft wind breathes

soft and slow, held to secrets

A canopy of our care

Infinite blooms

Blue hands collide, fingertips

bleed into purple

Azalea, a sense of

lifetimes wandering alone.
