Description

In the beating of her wings, Jon Ribeiro charts the perilous journey of love through poetry. The author gives an intimate look at love, from first sight to the last word. This anthology of poems brings the reader on a journey of tender moments and exchanges and what stepping away from them looks like. Ribeiro captures those emotions and presents them like the moments we revisit in our minds, looking for more answers than we received.

epigraph
“She belongs to the future
To the winds of the west sea
And the candles in the hallway

She dances wildly with the spiders
Sings with the turn of the stars
And cries amongst the earthquakes
And ghostly thunderstorms
Like those that sneak away in the night

She belongs to the fire
To the silver and mist in the woods
To the snow and the silence
But not to me.”

-Unknown

dedication
To Kayla,
who taught me how to
love the air in my lungs
the sun on my skin
and the creation around me

And to Her,
who taught me what
love is
and how seconds can feel
eternal
and how
little
time
we
have
part one
flight
can I kiss you?
Yeah, tonight was great
wish we had more time
you know?
I’m free Saturday
yeah, four o’clock is perfect

Wait, one more thing
that electricity when we
first met
that was thrilling
and I wonder if you felt it too
That’s all, I guess

Wait, one more thing!
I also love the way you try to translate
to words the passion you feel for the
things you enjoy
just needed to tell you that

Wait, one more thing
whenever we’re walking away
from each other, I get this
insane urge to look back
and hold you in my gaze for
as long as possible
sorry for all these stupid things I say…

Wait
one more thing
I wish
I wish I could say everything that
came to mind when I see you
and I wish I had
the courage to just say it

And I wish I could
put to words the
feelings you give me
but even then, you
wouldn’t have the time to
read it

So that you'd know
how I love the
way you smile at me
and I love how I
catch you staring at me
for a second too long

And I love how you will
bashfully turn away
and I wish I could hold
your hand and kiss it, too
and tell you that you’re why
I listen to music again

And we will breathe each
other in
and know the other’s skin
and learn everything we can
from the conversations in the sand

And that I have to
write in bed because this
is where I dream
and that you are my last
thought as I’m about to
dream
and how I can’t wait to
wake up to see the real
thing

And I wish I could say
everything that came to
mind when I see you
and I wish I had
the courage to say it
so at least I wrote some of
them down

and hope you read it
canada
It was a nice thought
and we knew this
was temporary, at best
but you made me feel
some sort of way
and it was good to feel
in such a fleeting moment

so, maybe in another life
I ll stay
How could I not want to hold your hand?
The way I catch you staring at me
and quickly turning away
makes me want my fingers between yours
to let you know I’ll stay

And I don’t mind if you like
to admire me from afar
so long as you’ll give me the blessing
of exploring who you are

Because there are a billion and one
stories of people around the world
but I’d like to hear just some of yours
maybe make some with you, too

But first, before we begin our journey
on a road neither of us have taken
I need to ask you
can I hold your hand?
To let you know I’ll stay
saudade
It's more than just
I miss you
or I need you here
because no one word that
can describe the feeling how
I am
without
a drop
of you
a starbucks in framingham
Got lost in your eyes again
trust me, I wasn’t trying
you got lost back, I saw,
don’t deny, I see you’re lying

endlessly frustrated by what
we insist isn’t a game
but how you feel about me
trust me, I feel the same

but regardless of the time
or what is written in the sand
all I’ll ever ask of you
is the feeling of your hand

with mine
recklessly
I would travel a universe with you
of mountains, plains, and seas
and never once doubt
there was a better place to be

Never have I felt so fearless
and yet in so much danger
that I could be
recklessly
smitten with you
umi
I stared out at Sea
content with what it gave
its waves, its ripples
tempest and shine
and all the while
