YOU’RE A FLAME

Like a flame dancing I am mesmerized By your force Eyes flickering With secrets I’m obsessed To uncover Seeking the orange fire For narratives That spark my imagination Searching the amber glow Attracted to tales That call out all my fears Your heat igniting Feelings of calm The comfort of home A burning desire I…

IT’S NOT YOU… IT’S ME

You fall onto me A ghost from the ceiling Picking memories As if a strand of melodies Your hands search As if you’ve known me And I wonder Did you? Faint words land like tears Upon the pillow by my ears And your kiss just a whisper I cannot feel And I realize It’s me…

BEAUTIFULLY CONNECTED

The moment I saw you Your eyes swallowed my reality Held completely captive Seeing into the deepest part of me Your love drowning me Teaching me a new way to breathe No more the way it used to be The possibilities in you inspiring me Nothing could ever be, would ever be As important as…

MONUMENT

Is it? So hard to believe Your voice Sounds like a song Floating on notes I never want to end Is it? So hard to believe I watch the sun set So I can see you Painting the night With racing comets And faraway stars Is it? So hard to believe That your breath Stills…

WAVES OF GRAVITY
