today i am in love.
everything is firing up
inside me, like new years
and independence days.
unshed tears pool
behind my eyes, both
joyous and tragic.
i am in love and
lonely at the same time.
my hands tremble
in dismay and anticipation.
my heart lurches
with longing,
sometimes i cannot
breathe.
i do not even know
your name, have not seen
your face out of the shadows,
nor heard your voice.
you are always
a stranger in my dreams,
hidden like a secret,
an unkept promise,
sometimes you feel like
a punishment.
