You’ve drawn the line
and I can feel reality as
barbed wire pierces my
heart and blood stains
my outlook on us. It would
have been nice to see
more deeply into each
other’s worlds. I was living
in the clouds not seeing
this sketched out.
So for now,
I’ll continue walking
through fields
of what could have been

You are not all sour
even though
striving to prove
I’ll spend eternity
looking for the sweet
inside of you
The transparency
of your mask
beckons me and
I’m inches away from
seeing into your soul
Have you ever
been to the moon?
I can take you there

I wish you could feel
the words I hold in my heart
tender to the touch in
a part of me for only you
I wish you could taste
the words in my mouth
sensing their passion
and meet me later
under the blanket of stars

I stare at this
blank page,
white as the
blanketed ground
in winter’s staging
Where are the syllables
I crave to create a
mixture of magic?
I fear they have traveled
to faraway places,
across desert dunes
and boundless oceans,
and might not return
so that I may tell him
(again)
how he’s irreplaceable
Instead
I’ll just kiss him
and steady myself
in the arms of a man
who is satisfied
with my simple
existence

Maybe we found love at the right moment in our lives
the clouds were formed perfectly; the planets were aligned
The sun rose brightly just for us over green hills beyond
the birds shared a lovely chorus with the sun at dawn
I can’t imagine how life would be without your smile
the joy it provides carries me for a million miles
And when I hear your laugh, you have me laughing, too,
and there is no resisting your magnetic baby blues
My mind wondered off and on if true love would ever find me
many moments were wasted with unnecessary worry
Then when I couldn’t prepare, love took me by surprise
after being held in your arms and one look in your eyes
I pray we get the chance, hand in hand, to grow old together
rocking on our cute front porch through any kind of weather
At sunrise, I only wish to feel your warmth and see your loving face
and I know it was meant to be for us to share life’s wonderful embrace

Your kindness
glows upon my world
pulling me into
forever surreal
When you give your love
my foundation shifts
like a gentle quake
I tumble in
Tenderly
you stir my soul
as a whirlwind
out of control
With you
I travel
the road to bliss
my heart’s content
a love so real

(This is from two years ago,
so I hope you don’t mind
reading it again, if you’ve
already seen it.) ♥
This obsessing has me fatigued
admittedly, you have me intrigued
For everywhere I look
you’re like a good book
I can’t seem to shake you
or bid you adieu
You live in my dreams
so real they seem
Invading my personal space
I need a hiding place
Your lips, your eyes
to be spellbound would be unwise
But, oh, how you make me feel
it’s positively surreal
I can’t commit to a declaration
of whether this is love or infatuation
although, I must concede to my desires
and the lighting of our fires
I’ve been arrested by your charms
as you hold me in your arms
My self control is missing
So sentence me to “kissing”
