The Human in us

I want you to make me laugh so hard
that I forget what color your skin is.
Talk so much that secrets spill out of me
like waterfalls and write poems on your
memories like clay tablets.

When we hug I want our spirits to be
in harmony and our heartbeats on cue –
a wise man once told me thats what
love sounds like. I still don’t know if its
true, but I always wonder upon silence.

Maybe if I recognize people by the
smiles happiness plants on their face,
the world wouldn’t always feel like one
colossal graveyard with my name
written all over it.

Because we could all
breathe as one and feel the
fresh air cleanse our soul.
Live as one and welcome
friends with arms behold.
