Three Poems
never let me go
promise me you
will hold my hand
no matter what
tell me you will
never let me go
how you will see me
in the light and
find me in the dark.
i am
i am fire
i am violets
i am the space
between the stars
i am the stars themselves
i am everything
i am nothing
i am mine
i am yours.
by touch
i stepped into
the inky unknown
ran my hands
along the walls
felt the ridges
and sharp edges
again and again
until the darkness
was nothing but
a figment of
my imagination
