Member-only story
when you’re in the room
I’m bathed in unbroken sunlight
it’s all of the lights — all at once
I try to resist blinking my eyes — so I don’t miss a split second of your vibe
my shadow and I — follow when you move — hypnotised
you seem to float through the air like a butterfly
you flutter-by just when the world gets too loud and shouts me down
when I get weary and far too close to broken
the Universe conspires in the space between us
and you move with the art of pushing hands
ordering the chaos with no words spoken
relegating it all to silent sidelines
yours is a soft magic like soft water deep diving underneath my skin
making warm waves I set adrift on and drink real love in
you take me away and take your seat in my soul for always
you’re the wanted interruption to all of the destruction
there is no time, just a happening between you and I
your aura fills up all of the sky
stars rise as you breathe and fall in formation — birthing new constellations this is what you do
your super power is your true essence in plain view
nothing else matters
I turn my back against the world when you’re in the room
