Kim V. Poetry

I heard your voice
And followed it.

Followed it through dangerous territory
And naked terrain.
Like a “little shadow that runs across
the grass and loses itself in the sunset.”

It was the power of control
In the timbre of it.

The tender bite of passion
And pain in it.

I felt you knew my song,
Without ever having sung a note.

You knew my story,
Behind the music.

So I’ll follow you still.

Between the dahlias
And the shooting stars.

Between intimate whispers
And purring sighs.

I’ll follow you
Like it’s a race against time.

“Because, what is life?
It is the flash of a firefly in the night.”

It is when the final crescendo is played
And you twist your lips in ecstasy,
That let’s me know you are
Life abundant.

You are my way back home.
My way to a simple paradise.

A paradise where your kiss
And magnetic eyes,
Know my soul, my heart and
The entirety of my future.

Prompts:

“What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is a breath of a buffalo in the wintertime. It is as the little shadow that runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset.”
