Haiku You

Remember the bliss of our youth? Darling, let's go back to the playground.

[haikuyou]

Compassionate soul,

giving, feeling, receiving;

I love all of you.

[haikuyou]

every day cringing

in retrospect that only 

new love can provide

[haikuyou]

she is a calming

breeze, rescuing my lungs with

a breath of fresh air

[haikuyou]

chest rises and falls,

bodies entwined, feeling her

fall in love with me

[haikuyou]

Hidden from sight by

our insecurities, the

masks we can’t remove.

[haikuyou]

laying in wait: thoughts

we keep to ourselves until

it isn’t too soon

[haikuyou]

your head on my chest,

my heartbeat a marathon

within my rib cage

[haikuyou]

Kaleidoscopic girl,

I am your canvas. Color

me outside the lines.

[haikuyou]

bodies divided

by unspoken ‘I love yous’

nestled between us

[haikuyou]

You make everything

scary transform into a

brand new adventure.

[haikuyou]

Weather Report

Partly cloudy with

an 80% chance I’ll

fall head over heels.

[haikuyou]

Let’s get drunk tonight;

I’ll say that I love you and

you’ll know I mean it.

[haikuyou]

You hurl words at me,

spitting filth as I pass by

and swallow them whole.

[haikuyou]

Lips: life-sustaining

Skin: form revitalizing

You: blood in my veins

[haikuyou]

Force of Nature

You are the sunlight

kissing my skin, you fill my

lungs with oxygen.

[haikuyou]

She lives imprinted

in my memory, awake,

flitting through my dreams.

[haikuyou]

change, in an instant--

earth-moving, life-altering,

probably nothing
