Flying Poem by R. L. Allen

green-blue eyes
and chocolate hair
falling down your back

effortless
natural

could fit you in my pocket
if i wanted to
keep you safe so that

nothing can hurt you
so nothing can stop you

reaching for the stars
and making them yours

and i never do tell you
never do say

how i love you

never do thank you
for always being here
for never giving up on me

and thank you for helping
me find my wings

now i feel like i can fly
all because of

you
