Rants, Poems and Randomness

so today is me and Rain's (Quiet_shadow_248) anniversary

and on friday we'll have known each other for two years, which is crazy- 

but i wrote them another poem, as a gift, for our one year. but this one is a lot more personal than the others i've written- which is why i'm not posting the whole thing

so it may seem a little choppy- but i'll put a little note in when i've taken pieces out-

anywaysss, here y'all go :> 

(also yes, i am aware that i spelt color with an ou in the title- Rain's canadian, i'm american, so i spelt color their way for the title and the title only-)

Colour

...

When people ask me what my favorite color is I say it is green

I say that for its peace, for its calm

I say that for the world we live in, the millions of shades that cover our planet, slowly dwindling

The color of your glasses

But really, my favorite color is brown

The color of your eyes

I could sink into the warmth of them, a blink of bliss, an escape

Even when sometimes they are a dark storm of uncertainty, turned golden in the light like lightning and rolling thunder

And without a second thought I would still fall into the downpour, be ripped through by the waves of ocean and turmoil pooling behind them

Let the hurricane take me

It won't last forever

What will last forever is us

So don't wake me up

Just because it's not real yet doesn't mean it can't be real here, where our dreams take flight like the flickering lights of fireflies

Where we fall like shooting stars, wishes to be made upon our trail of fire

If this is the first world I've met you in, it surely won't be the last

Because I will search you out in each one, find your smile and meet those eyes again

Forever I will chase your light, like that of our overhanging moon

Across worlds, across lifetimes

We're just words dancing on pages, for now

Blots of ink against white

But someday our footsteps will reach cold kitchen tile, and it won't just be a hope

We talk about the future as if they're our own memories, so close yet so far

And someday they will be, little jewels of interest to gaze upon in retrospect

I will treasure each one as I do now, scattered like coins in a box I have given you the key to

[redacted]

I am your sun, and you are my moon, forever destined to circle each other

I will make us meet

I will be our gravity

I'll swing us around the stars, between galaxies

We'll orbit the planets, brighter than every one

I'll slip the rings of Saturn over your finger, watch you blush like Mars, feel your heart beat as quick as Mercury's revolutions

I'd give you the world if I could, my love

This one, and the next

This universe, and the rest

I think of you every moment of every day

Every time my mind slips away

Maybe you do too

Could I possibly be one of the many lights, dancing behind your eyes?

I'd love to be

I'd kill to be

Maybe we'll meet somewhere in between, in our thoughts, in our minds, in our dreams

[redacted]

Throw me like clay, but unlike the potter, pull down my walls

Take your chisel to my faults and drive them out, smooth out the cracks and the fractures

Paint your lines of care along my surface, decorate me with your love

I will wear it proudly, colors splayed out for the entire world to see

I'll make sure to hold your favorite flowers, lilies clasped in my hands to greet you with butterflies of kisses

Because I am yours

And you are mine

And that will not go unknown

So ask me what my favorite color is, darling

Let me tell you
