Poet\'s Dream

Fold my Heart into an Origami Swan

Early summer

Hazy sun

Lying on my bed, staring at each other

Liquid pools of blue

When you left, you took my heart too

A slow unraveling where you used to hold me

With words so sweet and true

Lay my heart on your table

Press your palms against it till it bleeds

The quiet spills of my love

Running through the cracks

Hang it out to dry, smooth it flat

Make it fold with your praise

With your whispers of sweet nothing

Fold my heart

Into an Origami Swan

Set me afloat on your waters

hollow boned and paper thin

waiting for your breath

to drift me back in.
