The Ascending Pulse of a Garden Heartbeat

I am no longer anchored by the concrete sighs of Tokyo or the heavy rhythm of subway clocks. Here, on this rusted swing that forgets how to hold me down, I feel my soul beginning its slow drift upward into you.
You arrived like a summer rain after a decade of drought—not falling, but rising from the earth to meet me. Your touch does not press; it lifts. When your fingers brush against the floral silk of my dress, the fabric doesn't just ripple; it aspires toward heaven, carrying with it every secret I’ve kept locked in my chest.
The air is thick with peonies and unspoken promises that refuse to settle on the ground. As you lean closer, I feel a sudden lightness in my marrow—my heart detaching from its cage of ribs to float between us like an iridescent balloon filled with heat and longing.
In this suspended moment, desire is not a weight but an invitation to drift. We are two souls unmoored from gravity, ascending on the scent of blossoms and skin, where every breath becomes a wingbeat toward something higher than love—a state of being that simply refuses to fall.
