A sleep so damn peaceful she doesn't even dream

A mastered voice is not unlike
A well tuned, polished instrument
That can captivate the mind
As well as the world
And yet,
My mouth falls open
And out tumbles a nasally
Screech that I feel I should
Apologize for, should I?
Words trip and stutter their way
Through tense teeth
Out into the world
To be heard, judged
And stranded forever
In the cold air
Keeping you waiting as I gag
On my own thought
Steam billows from hot ears
As I regain my verbal footing
And tentatively try again,
Cheeks burning alive
My trepid tongue
My own worst enemy.

All this wedding planning has been taking
a huge toll on my writing endeavors.
My untouched document stares at me
from its all but forgotten tab as I shift through
cakes, flowers, and dresses in tangled masses.
I hope I can find the time to return to its
blank, blinking boredom before
the big day in October
Sometimes I want to crawl into stranger's backyards and explore them for their natural wonders that remind me of my grandmother's land that was home to my greatest childhood fantasies.

I hear sweet lullabies in your laugh
even when you find it too rough, too loud.
I still believe your eyes shine brighter than the sun
even when you're on the verge of breaking down.
I still know that flowers grow from your skin
and that life exists from within
even when you pick them out like they're a sin.
I still see summer in your smile
and hear spring in your sigh
even when you think it's dead season in your life.
I still love you for you
even when you don't love yourself too.

The sobering silence of waking without you is deafening, but I'd rather be deaf.
