someday someone is gonna be so soft and gentle with your heart, you’re gonna be so glad you kept it open, you’re gonna wonder why you ever thought about quieting it down
“Perhaps home is not a place but simply an irrevocable condition.”
— James Baldwin, Giovanni’s Room
TANGERINE SKIES
My eyes are sunken,
my hair messy, and my mind drunken
from the dreams crossed
out, lost
from my mind in the cold of this frost.
As I sink deeper
this climb is getting steeper.
Weren’t you supposed to be my keeper,
the one who makes the hard things neater?
Will you clean this spill
or have you had your fill
of this view
of the golden hue
rising over the mountain
that rains like a fountain
reigning over the dark of night?
I’ve fought my fight
to see you once more, my dear.
See how the shadows disappear!
Now would you hold me near
as I whisper in your ear
a soft lullaby
of a kind love that will never die?
Don’t cry—
Listen
to the warm notes that glisten
as the lyrics drift from my tongue
and dart across the sky toward the sun
carried by the cool breeze—
My world is finally at ease.
My love, I’m not mistaken.
And I wish not to waste the time life hasn’t yet taken—
So tell me, can you hear the tender song the swallow sings
as the air dances beneath her wings?
You needn’t sigh
upon her heartfelt goodbye
for she told me a story
of courage and glory,
and of love and flowers,
of minutes and hours,
of days without end
and the letters I would send
and though for us it’s goodbye
she said you would reply:
My bird, don’t you worry
for I’m not in a hurry
to see you so soon,
to sit side-by-side on the moon.
My gift was my promise
and I’ll keep it and be honest.
I’ll live out my days
until my time finally fades.
And I’ll never forget
the first time that we met,
or the last when we parted,
or the time that we darted
through the door,
tumbling onto the floor
in laughter,
caught in our own happily ever after;
or when we swayed
to the waltz that played
through the gramophone
as the grand piano echoed through our little home
as if it was there
resting by the worn leather chair.
I won’t give into the sorrow
of knowing I won’t see you tomorrow
because of the memories
of our picnics under the poplar trees,
and the honey sandwiches that attracted the bees to our feast under tangerine skies.
No matter the time, or the place, or the weather, my love for you never dies.

For my love.
can’t wait to love you forever 💜
