68. Anxiety

I'm stiffer than a rock.
My breathing's as shallow as ancient ruins
Underneath forgotten Earth.
This is anxiety.
As invisible as the air I need.

161. Picnic For You

All that can be heard are pots and pans chatter, Interrupted when my nose catches a "h-achoo." You return, teeth trapped with one another. They tap out a message with every tick. You let my fingers prance around your shoulder, My hands held in yours without a mutter. A nod melts into a kiss, tattooed by your lipstick.

I'll heat things until excitement boils, but won't forget a slow burn savored. I plant myself in a garden of wishes. But I know La La Land will only keep ideas dancing. I rose to the challenge of weeding out unfertile ground. Let my hands bathe in Mother Nature to grow you a bed of flowers. I'm soothed by the shade of the tree I water. Oh, won't you loo...
