un.locked

we were group thinking

rising in numbers 

exponential on the

streets

then i saw you

detached. by the stairs. head

down shoe laces free

style blowing out

in some other

world

you lifted your eyes you

searched you extracted my heart 

by a keyword

i would give up my cause

for you. unlock me

from the masses! the

pain is almost

gone

#katyamills

give in not up

to the playful

to the hunger

to the boredom

to the laughter

to the weakness

to the cat calls

to the warmth

to the strength

to the comfort

to the ease

 

never will i

ever will i

give up

out of stillness

Created by a passion, shaped by forces both seen and unseen, driven by wind, confined to earth, dialed into feelings, fine-tuned by the moon and a heartbeat, enlivened by sun, roaring with water, beaming light and then darkness, laughing, conflicted, now humming with purpose, now drowned in thought… i become, out of stillness, and come to you. We are lucky, my dear, to appear on scene.

Give me someone to love
Give me someone who loves me

Give me a song with no words
