Escape 

​

To be etched

in the way

my cells

talk

 

Neurons whispering

to one another

in the shape

of you

 

Thoughts of you

were once

a vast ocean

now barren

having seeped

down the crevices

littering my mind

out of sight

out of mind

locked in a cell

alive but

forgotten

 

And awoken

when I stumble

upon a key

a place

a smell

 

For love 

transcends

space and time

whether it is alive

or dead

 

And each soul

entangled 

with ours

rewrites our thoughts

our brains

our bodies

whether we like it or not

 

For every mind

is a universe

and we are all

but explorers

charting vast, beautiful 

galaxies and stars

so stunning

so unforgettable

no matter how hard 

we may try

 

And even harder

when our world

has died

and we look up 

to the heavens

of another’s mind 

to escape

our own hell

and soar 

amongst the stars
