What Was Once Hidden

He laughter maps

The route to her chest

I want to know the

Cross-arteries to her

Pulmonary cavity

What was once hidden

Shines in loveliness revealed

I had a momentary

Understanding of

Time — watching the night

Unfold as she wrapped the

Sunset around her waist

Tiny fragments of fire

Glowed from her pockets

While a cluster of desolation

Scattered swiftly upon the

Pavement

What was once hidden

Shines in loveliness revealed

Her smiles keep me high

As they remain engrained

Within mountain ranges

Yet she never has trouble

Keeping my head upon

The banks of the beach—

Withdrawing emotional

Currents. (currency)

See how I see her

In bodies of water

Until her body

Becomes one

With the sea salt?

She drips from my eyes

Until I realize she's finalized

My thoughts on love

Utilizing and tantalizing touch—

Until my nerves become paralyzed

Our minds set with the sun

As we create stars with our

Smiles in the nighttime

What was once hidden

Shines in loveliness revealed

It's difficult to fathom

All of the phantoms

That have manifested

Over the transgression

Of time— they speak

So softy...

Like a trembling hand

To a comforting one

What was once hidden

Shines in loveliness revealed

And our obsession

With destruction has

Become anachronistic

Since she has left me

Grounded like footprints

In wet concrete, all I need

Is one breath yours preferably—

Cementing all ideals into

Infatuations of everlasting

Romanticism

What was once hidden

Shines in loveliness revealed

Or perhaps it was just the

Breeze belonging to the

Evening wind that constricted

His breath from synchronizing

To his heart beat just right—

He could never get it just right

The time when the lovers were

Separated were the moments

When time made sense despite

Not understanding why two

Cannot be constantly around

Each other sharing smiles rather

Than hopeless emotions like

Two hearts casted out into

Exile

Thank you for sharing

Yours with mine. (x2)

Speak to me so

I can hear you breathing

Breathe into me so my

Doubts can start believing

Hold my hand into the

Evening until there's nothing

Hidden, just forbidden to

Give up on

Because all it takes is

Five seconds of your day

To make you realize that her face

Is as soft as rose petals tracing

The tips of your fingers regardless

Of how many thorns you take—

Love is beautiful

Even though it

Hurts sometimes

What was once hidden

Shines in loveliness revealed

Your face paints a serene

Image representing a collision

Amongst stars

Glancing up at the night sky

Evokes emotions of how I feel

And they swing like pendulums—

Leaving a distinct reminder of

How I felt

Gazing up at tonight's sky

Life aligns like the stars in

Orion's belt

Tonight's sky reflects what

It means to feel anything

The you

The me

The in-between

The us

The sound of the stars

Dancing to the grey spots

Splattered on the moon—

Refracting light...

Allowing for us to

See each other

What was once hidden

Shines in your loveliness

Revealed
