You confuse me and bewilder me
like fireworks to a child
I am in awe
flowers of fire and sound
blossoms in a second
greeted with breathy wind
and answers with a shock
of cannon fire
I don’t know how
but you touch my insides
a sonic thud in my chest
a bright light above me
moments before my heart stops
I am filled with doubt
these pauses where
silence grows longer
Is the show over?
have I seen all there is
Are there no more
mortars to explode
no greens and reds to light my sky
I hope for a heart attack
I long to be blinded
i can't wait any longer!
I want to explode
stop your heart
deafen your ears
fill your skies with light
reach upwards for
my glowing embers
that fall gently into your
open arms
