#1
Within these words,
i hope you see the mirror
There is poetry here
In you, when you look to the back of your eyelids,
i hope you read the words that don't exist
The words that mean the depths that i cannot express
Of my happiness, of my joy,
That you are you.
That you exist.
#2
Saline cocktails for two
Sitting on the edge of a balcony
Whispering the obvious like secrets
Away from the crowd.
We've waited for murmurs
And now our eyes dance
Like the light in candles
For once there's no warning of flight
From my fearful footsteps
Our voices a little quieter
You lean a little closer
Hearts beat a little faster
Hoping we found tomorrow
In one and other
#3
Disillusion
Scrambling
To those old cherished
Moments and memories
If only to return
To that old spell,
One more turn
Leave me in the light
Abandon me in hope
Unfurled
Certain
#4
Indulge me.
This day unto the next
indulge me, dearest heart,
In your warm, sweet breaths
From moment to morn
Let me lay just beside
Eyes closed and entangled
Engulfed by exhaling divine
I'll seek not to suffer,
Nothing more left to desire
Blanketed beneath your breath
Content beyond the pyre
Indulge me, my love.
#5
Wrapped in the darkness
Clinging to the worst cases
Of your absence
i spiral and twist
Within and the
Sheets of my empty bed
i worry and wait
Desperate to hold the feelings within my fingers
Before the leak and evaporate
i build walls
To protect myself
i tear them down
To protect you
To protect us
My mental calendar pulls like an elastic accordion
And you are further from returning
Hopeless and hoping
i am terrified of losing the feeling
That spark in my chest
Where your head is to rest
#6
And those heated nights
Blanketed by the breeze of an oscillating fan,
I spent the hours thinking of you
Watching your sleepy shallow breathes
What dreams you may have
I hope them pleasant
I hope you content
As I am with the dream that lays beside
