Love

Flawless words flood my mind that I just can’t say Depths and heights of “I love yous” that just won’t go away. Hopes for so many tomorrows, that I didn’t plan on wanting today Somehow he’s gotten a little bit closer and now I want him to stay — Secrets resting on my tongue but [...]

Do I see me gazing? Yes. and I try not to. When I notice, I look away into nowhere, because you are definitely somewhere that I want to be… Doing things that I want to do Resting my hands on yours as you move them My feet in your prints, so that I’ll be where [...]

I arrest my thoughts to keep a steady pace To make the moment last To take in the same air you breathe – When you stand in this spot to get to the garage – or to talk to the neighbors the way you always do With that heightened sense of glee that tickles your [...]

I am surprised I have words for you – but I do. For a moment, I want to let you know it’s more. It’s more. You’re more than I could say… because a hint of fear surrounds my atmosphere. So I am concealing words that I am afraid may make the difference between a heart [...]

Sight… I am here, far in the distance But your vision pulls me in Disclosed at your whim I am numb. Thought… I am here, in the center of your mind My name is Desired, Queen on this throne No choice of my own I am numb. Acquainted… I know your name, you’ve chosen to [...]

Just once and I will breathe again… I won’t even say a word One touch, one glance, one kiss and my silence will give more light than you’ve ever known Because I’ve put you in that place where weakness isn’t wrong. My tears don’t have to hurt inside, and my anger won’t mean you’re gone. [...]

Are you real enough, to make me feel your warmth around me? – close enough for me to keep you from turning away? Can you rise above the distances that are far beyond what I can see? Are you, somehow, a reality or just a shadow of yesterday? I sit patiently, keeping hope that you [...]

True love was here, and I was standing still Awaiting the salvation, the security, the time But I was standing still, beneath the plane of his horizon So he could not see me – – and the lesser infatuations baited my warranted reward I shied into the darkness. My silence. My strength. ——————- The deceiver [...]

* This was written for a friend’s wedding* Somehow my eyes opened this morning And as I fully became aware I knew I would never be the same again and I smiled at the thought “Me” would soon be “we” and a tear comforted my memories. And I realized how far we’ve made it… Somehow [...]

This changes me. the way I wait and want to see you standing, smiling, taunting. The way I am, I think I feel the way I’m sad. So crazy – unreal. The way you came and did and said Nothing at all to fill my head – But still you’re here, a while, you’ve been [...]
