i want mornings

bathed in the warmness of a newborn sun.

i want daylight washing my bare legs

i want to be forever a laughing child.

i want to have the innocence to think

that it’s possible to fly away

just by stretching one’s arms.

i want afternoons

full of laughter echoing in the back of my throat

i want summer breeze shaping the curves of my body.

i want to have the confidence to believe

that i am all i need

and that it’s possible to fly away

just by wishing it.

i want evenings

cold enough to have a reason to call you.

i want coloured grass tangling between my toes

as the sun dies.

i want not to get sentimental.

i want nights

warm enough not to need you.

i want to lie on the coldness of the green ground.

i want the shadows of the trees to paint my body

like moving ghosts dancing over my skin.

i want to have enough happiness

to ask myself

why would I ever want

to fly away.
