Image for the poem Breathlessly

Breathlessly

sometimes calling your name
leaves me breathless
couldn't wrap my lips around it
or my throat to birth it
suddenly my mouth turns dusty dry

Sometimes I smile alone
spelling your name on my screen
or just wander around
thinking up colour schemes
for a dream

Sometimes you make me feel like screaming
I want to burst into a butterfly
to show you Im not all drab
I want to be a dancing poppy flower
or a rainbow in hundreds of prisms

Sometimes I feel like running away
or sit in a corner and vegetate
so strange emotions don't tear me
apart and turn me into tiny confetti
to be strewn on some dirt road

Sometimes I think about love
and I shudder in fear
of the tribulations on that road
for I have travelled there before
pricked by thorns smelling the roses.
