Bells

she's this perfect piece of poetry only a goddess could've written. every word is yours in my constant attempt to love you just as elegantly.

They Don’t Believe In Soulmates

I don’t know how to explain to those who might not yet know the feeling but when I’m near her I feel a spark behind my eyes like my vision now sees the world more clearly vibrantly as if she puts the cogs in motion long frozen in my brain and I’m suddenly living and creating  more imaginatively fearlessly.

Taste

I have the taste of you on my tongue threatening to dissipate with each passing second and I can do nothing less than chase the goosebumps down your spine to meet my tastebuds and replenish the flavor.

___

I want to breathe poetry on your skin and kiss away the pain you feel from all the days we’ve been separated. I want to make up for lost moments while we have this one.

Under The Influence

I could use a dose every single day each breath until I die. Inhale your bliss exhale my fear smile and enjoy the ride. Waiting feels like craving and patience isn’t kind. I’m waiting every single day to have you by my side.

naked.

I want to strip away the layers of fear the fabric in which you hide until they’re in piles on the floor visibly irrelevant to your existence. I want to trace the goosebumps on your skin, pulling you into me to press my lips against your warmth and tell you I’m home without words. I need to feel our hearts beating against each other, with no distractions so we can grasp just what we’re living for and breathe this love, endlessly.

Wander. Wonder.

Aimless wanderer where does your confidence come from? How can something so free flowing ever truly know certainty? I don’t think I’ll ever understand. Hopeless wonderer how could anything in life ever be stone? Why would we bother trying to control things we can’t confine in fences? I’m certain of uncertainty; spontaneity; life.

je t’aime

I’ll tell you I love you in all the languages I pretend to know; so that our love can travel farther than we ever have; to become even bigger than here and now.

In Between

I fell in love in the in between… her voice bringing me home despite existing on opposite fringes of the same time zone. When my path took me to all of the places that never ended with her her warmth kept me company still; her words filled my mind while on every journey I’ve endured since our lives first intertwined… I fell in love in the in between, without the intention of ever doing so, without ever knowing I could… As if I arrived at a definition of a word I’d thought I made up synonymous with home: you.

[dreamtoseereality]

Parallel

White picket fences somehow rising from the dirt as if the neighbors watered the ground so that they’d grow into cages and tower above us I can’t see you anymore I can’t feel you anymore and I reach through the spaces just to try and touch your skin– you’re breathing slowly and backing away. I can hear the shuffling in the grass I used to know when I called you my home– I need to force this fear to fade.

[dreamtoseereality]

Cure

inhale when you think you can’t breathe smile when you think of your fears hold when you want to let go– the greatest advice i’ll ever know: go mercilessly turn the world upside down and challenge what they think they know. the cure for life is not the opposite.

Observation 1

Facades are built from the bricks of insecurity that weigh you down. She’s fearless because she’s scared and she’s inspirational because she needs a reason to get up. She is what she is because she is not.

Modern Villians

Torches and pitchforks are high beams and middle fingers flying down drains, to the culling. All I'll let go up in smoke is the aching, violence, and loathing. Not you. Not me. We are just stirred into the chaos of genes that make us and a world that breaks us. We are love and poetry and home-- We watch the smoke rise while we sit on the rooftop.

[dreamtoseereality]

Syncopation

I’ll grow quiet– space the words so they don’t overwhelm your soul but decrescendos  do not imply that any measure of love is fading.
