My eyes caught hers
like a fast pitch
into a catcher’s mitt.
The sting blinded me
and sent my mind
wandering to another world.
A world where
colorful confetti
danced in the air
and eyes twinkled
like stars
illuminating the night sky.
Lover’s hearts
tore from their chests
disappearing into the clouds
like helium balloons
let go too soon.
The sunset fell
like a warm blanket
on the village
and the constellations
sang a sweet lullaby
putting them to sleep.
They only woke
when at dawn
a freckled fawn
would bless them with a kiss
upon the heart
and wake their soul
from wildness.
Just Me, Jasmine Lee
