Cam

I want to write 

for you, for you
let me hear the warm timbre of heartwaves against your chest sailing me to
Sweet dreams!
albeit leaving behind to fester in your own battles –
I want to write for you.

Each letter of mine shall go unfettered once more
to call and grab each syllable of your name
tight, tonight
the rain feels heavy
the raindrops look messy

but HEAR the
peace in pieces of petrichor
beauty in whole and holes in
our little umbrella
where we huddled and cuddled
every puddle of water told me

rainbows smile upside down
in reflection of all
