Through Fire and Breath

Pounding my way through you,
through all the barriers
we’ve built and torn down—
it’s all that I know,
this storm of words
we send up to the sky
like desperate prayers for rain.

It feels sensible—
no need for reason
in the stillness of night
when our minds collide,
forces clashing,
sparks lighting
the darkness within.

Your touch finds
the trembling heart of mine,
a beat waiting
to rise, to break,
to begin again.

Here I am—
a new start with young hearts,
the ashes of the old
still warm beneath our feet.
Hear me out—
for I have broken,
I have burned,
and still, I return
to the dawn of us,
to the breath of something
unseen but felt,
like fire beneath the skin.

In this place,
where the night is quiet
and the stars are listening,
I ask you to stay
just a little while longer—
let the words fall,
let the pounding cease,
and let us be
what we never dared to be.
