Understanding You

I shiver

the same way your body moves

In the rhythm of discord

The Never to my Where

 

Courageously childlike

Impatiently straight

So insanely You

Speaking from that stare

 

A wonder to an artist’s eye

A secret to the minds that roam

A needle to a heart

That within unknown seeks its home

 

Your face stains my mind

Otherwise clear

Usually awake

 

But there’s a treaty never signed

Between moments you’d give

& the ones that I’d take

 

Courageously silent

In thought, miles away

Since your heart couldn’t sing

Senses were alarmed

 

So spitefully childlike

So heavily guarded

Your smiles & your tears

Well… I’m still unarmed

 

That’s why I shiver

The same way you dance with the stars

Something that I couldn’t bear

 

Yet I feel

How you turn the wine into water

How you shift an uncertain When

Into a Neverwhere

  1. Enjoyed the journey that you took me on, with this one.

    “I shiver

    This line, especially, caught my attention.

    Brilliant!

    • it felt pretty weird writing it, though, it’s kinda chaotic.. I’m happy you liked it.. thanks, bro 🙂

  2. So transporting as it silences everything else around me. It’s a visual spectacle – tragic, yet uplifting. This is such an engrossing piece, NB 🙂 I salute you on another exceptional write!

    • that really means a lot.. especially since it feels different from what I usually write, but it’s only ’cause I tried to describe something & someone who’s totally new to me.. thanks, Cy 🙂

  3. Love the style here and the way your story is told. Very creative. These are the type of things I look for. What can I say but pure gold!

    • I’m happy you liked it so much.. thanks for the support :)))

  4. “That’s why I shiver

    The same way you dance with the stars”

    ? I CAN NOT get over how much I love that. I really am trying to read through all of these. You constantly amaze me with your writing!
