Finding Peace
There’s a rhythm now,in the way we movea quiet call and responseas natural as breath,shared between us in every momentas we compose our song together. Your hand finds mineand the chorus kicks inSometimes a big band number, sometimes a gentle symphony,depending on the context of our heartsand the surrounding notes of our lives I feel … Continue reading Our Song
Through endless night, the wind does wail,A knight rides on, his heart grown frail.His soul in tatters, his body worn,Yearning for the touch he once adored.Her voice, a whisper, soft and near,Yet in the shadows, she disappears. For years he's wandered, blind with desire,A king without a crown, lost in fire.Chasing her warmth, her scent, … Continue reading The Hollow Crown
How those fingers stroke my cheek,So lovingly.Without a need to strike or reach-No plan to pinch or scratch.That subtle skin to skin contact,Filled with desire, anticipation, and communication.I crave it in the evenings,While sleeping alone,feeling around the cold side of the mattress for home. I crave it in the monotonous tone of my workday,while responsibilities … Continue reading Stroke my Cheek
How you warm my heart like the sun warms the Earth; waking my feelings like the songs of the birds. What I wouldn't give for one morning's ride on a gentle little journey deep in your eyes
The words sit in my chest like a lead weight,pulling my lungs so close, I’m gasping for air.The betrayal wells behind my eyes,and my throats aches with the effort of maintaining control. My thoughts go wild with confirmation bias,noting every moment and every action that proves what I’m too scared to say.Guilt and shame raise … Continue reading I Don’t Trust You, Anymore
For so long, I knew only a kind of seasonal love - one where stormy tempers coated our vibrant branches in ice, suffocating the leaves and petals yearning to thrive. My roots lay frozen, sealed in a harsh grip of cold, waiting for the sporadic warmth of spring to allow for a fleeting kiss. Each … Continue reading Welcome, Spring
In his kiss, I am bewitched. All of my thoughts escape me, and my mind is free to wander into a future where love is gentle and patient. Where he and I are only he and I, with little to no concern that another should, would, or could interrupt us at any moment. A world … Continue reading Made for Him
I don't need perfect or even close, just someone who seems to know everything about me without being told. I'm looking for someone with a slight nerd streak, who can roll a die, tap a card, or watch a show with Me, and knows what FMA, AoT, or AtLA means. Someone good with a grill, … Continue reading Love Wanted Ad
My nightmares start as something so sweet, Something so beautiful, something so free We were everything we'd ever need To reach anything that we could be... - - Then the snakes came out, and I couldn't see, The glass on my path, slicing up my feet. I danced for you while you laughed at me, … Continue reading Title TBD
I still linger at the crossroads, Wishing I could follow... Did we have to go our separate ways? If I'd loved your laugh a little harder, Kissed your lips a little longer, Would we have gone our separate ways? I know where I am, but I'm lost all the same... Waiting for you to call … Continue reading No title…
