Clouds

Am I perhaps the sun-setting skies?
The ones with puffs of clouds, pink and purple hues shading into grays?
Softness and pain all rolling ahead, surrounding our hearts
Our minds filled with fogs, knowing we wish and we need,
To get through the dark because on the other side
There is nothing but freedom and no more lines,
Because all the boundaries lay here on earth.
Not in the heavens where our souls long to twine
Our feelings the different stars reaching--reaching out to touch,
Not just physically, but the way we were
Intimate with something more
The way we have an inkling that we're supposed to be someday,
But instead all that we have are walls,
Because we fear.
Neither of us wants to lose.
Neither of us can lose,
Because we don't want there to be an ending between our two hearts,
Unless it's where one stops beating
And the other stops breathing.

Never Mine

All of these years,
I had the distinct feeling
That each lover of yours
            That filled temporary homes in your heart,
Never knew.
They never knew about me,
Our history--past,
Stolen kisses when we were no one elses'.
They didn't know about our friendship,
The close ties, the way we knew one another,
As we got older.
They knew none of that.
I am sure as well, that aside from those shared or met,
None of your other friends really knew either.
What were you scared of?
Was it a lie that you didn't care about what others thought?
The only conclusion I can claim is that perhaps
Our connection, the love, the camaraderie--
It would ruin your street cred.
Foolish man, we're no longer teenagers.
I was your secret.
You were never mine.
