in your mouth
you fold your paper-thin words up
like origami and grin when they take flight
as paper cranes
hope swelling in the beating of their fragile wings
filling the spaces between us
and bursting in front of my eyes
leaving
drops of happiness trickling down
forming puddles by my feet.

I really like this poem. I love how in poetry you can express a true feeling and it leaves the reader with the same feeling you had when you wrote it. Check out some of my work and keep writing! <3
