A Green Flower of Hope

Leave no traces on my eyelids

until the last voice of this decade

has passed.

Your mask has become too tight lately,

isn't it worth buying a new one?

A green flower of hope

blooms in my chest,

someday our breaths will intertwine,

our timid tears will collide.

I would like to fall asleep in the silence

that has left me with a betrayed fear.

The path at my feet is bright blue,

I spread my wings to fly

above our mutual sleep,

above the pain that gives fulfillment

instead of emptiness.

Cold, cold is my mind without you.

I wish I could get so close to my dreams

that I could taste your groan.

It's time to get up, it's time to throw off

the body and fly away

to where our mutual mornings

have settled.

Tired of eternity, I hug my tears

to the rock that is your breast.

In this chest there is a heart

that could love,

but does not understand that the world

spins on its axis.

I like the double meaning....Covid keeps us from breathing each other in...the masks are preventative.

and Sometimes distance is like a mask, one we can not so easily take off....

when we shove off these mortal coils, perhaps our souls can link up...and love for eternity...

You do a nice job of showing someone who is aching for their lover through the use of vivid imagery.
