Falling Goodbyes
I had a dream that I was falling forever here
Side by side into blackness unknowingly with who?
I looked over and realized you were there at arms reach
The look on your face was with much want and calm
Holding my hand out you took it and took it firmly
Jerking me into the warm embrace of your essence
You hum a tune of Beads in the Wind as I start to cry
We fall together into the darkness for what feels like lifetimes
Here, Time has stopped and nothing else matters
Safety in embrace as the weight of fear lifts from me
I wake up in my bed and...

I Wish We Never
Ever since the moment I met you, I could not forget you as I am not obsessed with you though I think of you every day
Our first conversation made me feel like a giddy kid again blossoming my mind to unfold as flowers see the sun again after a cold winters night
You left for the bus and I wanted to cry for your immediate absence yet I can’t explain it.
I never saw myself spending time with you but there I did and am ever so grateful for what time I was given.
Ever since the moment the light caught your eyes outside doing yoga, my heart bounced and the butterflies left...

Another day, Dear Calling
I floated out into the ocean. I was pretty far out. I was on edge with the peer. It was beautiful. I floated with the waves with my toes out of the water. My friends on the shore had called me brave for this.
I relaxed as the ocean heals all that hurts me for a moment in time. My recent breakup coupled with my period starting on the same day, was truly an emotional event.
I relaxed there as the waves had me teeter totter across each crest. I breathed deep and exhaled with such precision that it was without effort. I drifted into my thoughts.
You in my mind...

Tranquility of night
The fan's soft breeze dances in the air, barely ruffling the stifling heat within the room. Beads of sweat form on my body, providing relief as they evaporate with each passing second, cooling me down as I catch my breath. Though it's too warm to cuddle, I still yearn to be enveloped by the essence of your presence.
You fell into a deep slumber swiftly, tossing and turning on the bed until, at last, a peaceful stillness settled upon you. As I turned onto my side, you instinctively reached out to hold me, your arm gracefully wrapping around my waist. A tender smile graced your lips...

#2 Lost Love
2
Always number two, number two my entire life. It’s the story I live that I can not break free from. On the physical pain of existence I constantly compete with others. I compete even if there is no competition. Even when I know that I lost before I even started. I feel so empty inside when I think back on how much effort I put into you. For me to love you, for you to look for other love. How empty my heart aches. The tears have been running down my face for weeks as you left so many signs to show this coming. I tried so hard to ignore it but you made it plain. You can’t lie to me. How...

Comfort Zone
It’s been days since the sun graced my skin to warm my heart
The lack of freckles on my body prove the statement even more so
Empty feelings pull as I move to sit nearer to what light there is
Tap tap tap on the metal above, crashing, thunder, soothing, calming
Waves crash on the window, dripping down the crack on the inside
I swipe it up, looking lazily at the liquid dripping down my finger tip
Sticking my finger to my tongue, I taste the bitter salt from the ocean
My gaze shifts, focusing to the window, just beyond the foggy glass
Clouds bring back...

7 Days
Day One – Happy content and feeling the best I’ve felt in days
Day Two – Calm but sleepier than yesterday, missing something
Day 3 – Day dreams, off into the distance I stare while working
Day 4 – Eating more because I feel like I need to fix something broken
5 – Longing, distracted…why am I like this? Focus…sadness…silence
6 I break down and ask to see you, maybe somehow you want me too?
Reset – As skin on skin meets, you envelope me in your love, I am free
Day One – ....

Passionate Moment
Laying on the bed, I accidentally think of tomorrow and feel saddened
As this night goes on, wanting to be trapped here in time for eternity
With you, these moments together escape too quickly from my grasp
Face down, I bury myself deeper In the covers to escape my thoughts
As if like magic you seem to read some sort of thought to combat the crazy
As then I feel your warm skin on my back, weight shift, hand grabbing mine gently
It’s these little acts of passion that connect me to you more each time
As this night goes on, wanting to be trapped here in time for eternity
With you, these moments together escape too quickly from my grasp
Face down, I bury myself deeper In the covers to escape my thoughts
As if like magic you seem to read some sort of thought to combat the crazy
As then I feel your warm skin on my back, weight shift, hand grabbing mine gently
It’s these little acts of passion that connect me to you more each time

Shower Breakdown
I arrived smelling of seawater and sweat from the heat of the Spring day
Sand in my hair, scalp itchy and body sticky from the ocean’s salt
Insisting we shower together, I detest, such a personal action
You convinced me slowly, unzipping my dress, removing my clothes
My walls are still up in many ways, I trust you but I’m unsure of your reasons
I am scared because this is such a sacred and private activity for me
Taking my hand, guiding me into the warm mist of water with confidence,
Gently you take your time to get me comfortable, kissing me,
Wishing...

Troubled Heart
I'd rather be alone than be wrong
A decision I can't be so certain of
To make myself, take responsibility
No one takes that from me but me
The love in my heart is so much
The fears of hurting others, greater
Yet I hurt, slash, give pain to love
I am broken, I am certain of that
I self destruct when goodness arrives
I push away kindness to welcome pain
I survived so far, on my own I did it
This survival is not all I want in life
But it's all that I know from the...

Rain Drop
The rain at my fingertips making the dreary hot day beautiful again.
How miserable many must be, to hate the rain so much as they do.
The bringer of life and health that is the flowing water from above.
We need these rainy days, warm to skins touch and physical in brace.
To nap a day away, sip tea or coffee by the window or simply play in it.
Happiness to me, is feeling, smelling and enjoying the entire experience of it all.
To walk or even dance my worries away for a moment that I've needed so greatly.
I smile but...

Premonition
Breathing carefully under the light of the moon, a man's whisper is as clear as day, "no one leaves alive". I realize someone is right behind me. The cold of slimy fingers can be felt threw my shirt, hovering above my right shoulder blade. I bolt to run. I can't seem to run fast enough. My body is sluggish and heavy, as if someone was pulling me backwards threw water. The world spins and I run, Ive come to a complete circle. I stop and turn around. I can see a woman ten feet away, her chest still and immobile. It should be rising. What is she I wonder? The bringer of death? No one knows but...
