Porch Poem by Christopher Montalvo

Tonight,
The moon is my best friend,
Her eternal glow keeps me company,
Hypnotizing my senses,
All the streetlights shine towards me,
Shield my eyes from their cameras,
Like the paparazzi to a celebrity,
Can't take my eyes off her,
They may outnumber you,
But your light shines the brightest.

The cool breeze between my toes,
I close my eyes and deeply inhale,
The air never felt so good,
Never felt so alive,
If this barricade could disappear,
I would take a leap of faith,
Sprout my wings,
Truly know what it feels to fly.
