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
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
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 exist, soulless and still at heart. My actions, though shallow, play their part In a world that's peacefully, calmingly dark;I breathe through a life devoid of our spark. Each moment of thought clear of your shapeIs A moment of ignorance, a chance to escape,A moment of triumph in my withdrawal from fate...A moment to … Continue reading Soulless
Won’t you run away with me? We can disappear into the trees, following our hearts, falling on our knees, with laughter, and joy, and love, and need. Everything inside is begging you, please? I know what I want, and I know what I see, And I know that you know that we’re meant to be. so … Continue reading Run Away With Me
As the sun sets, my body sweats; This burned, aching, greedy mess begs in anticipation for when the tide rolls in to fill my soul with nourishment.Lessons and warnings erode from the shore"Drink from the ocean, and thirst even more," Do they know how good the ocean tastes,When you’re aching to drink after for too … Continue reading Dying of Thirst
Trapped here, Between my heart and my gut, Caged by my ribs and a mind too open, I’m Fighting for a freedom I don’t really need. Your eyes plead, “Don’t leave…” But your arms are wrapped around another. “Soul mate,” or side dish? I’ve never known the difference. Not here, anyways. “You complete me.” Is … Continue reading The One with the Aliens
I let my guard down, to be replaced by another’s secure arms in an embrace that felt as natural as falling in love. In that moment, a star shot through the sky as if to say, “I’m here for you.” For the first time in a long time, I knew I was where I should … Continue reading Here for You
You have awoken me, my Spring Sun, from a cold and barren winter. My weathered branches are now colored by the vibrant palette of a heart in bloom. What of you, beauty? Will you keep my love as you have kept the smile on my face since the day we met? Or am I in … Continue reading Another Love Poem
What were you to me? Would you believe You were everything? Did you see this coming? Holding me and pretending We'd wake up together If we refused to let go... But we let go And now I don't know What I was to you... What was I to you? A good excuse? Someone you could … Continue reading What Was I?
