copy

one day i will
stop searching crowds
i will lean backwards
to let fresh air
enter lungs
i'll inhale
colorless fate
that bleeds inside
expel you from veins
rich and thick with
the slightest graze
i won't beat down streets
causing night to pillowslip day
smothered with designs to
face your eyes with mine
strip your dignity
from the shady reasons
we
are not to be
and we will go off
into the blue
to see how things work out

miles make feet heavy
while hearts keep steady time

retracing us

I so much admire your poetry, CC.

Your lines:

miles make feet heavy
while hearts keep steady time

are the perfect ending. Perhaps *retracing us* as the title of the poem?

You are way too kind but it's comments like this that make me keep striving and writing

JC I love the honesty here and it's what I need to keep me going, I wish I had the ability to be able to go to Uni but I write because it's a love I have for it, if it goes anywhere I guess it will have to just be with my perseverance but the enjoyment is undeniable when discovering new talent or being satisfied with a write I do, and you're right there is never an ending, just new beginnings :)
