The moon's still full
it shines so bright
I wish you were with me
Here, tonight
To fall asleep with
And hold me tight
Until those golden eyes close
To say goodnight

I'll heal your pain
Make you feel right
Always I'll be your guiding light.

One hand in the air
fingers outstretched
What is he reaching for?
No one holds his hand
as he is pulled in
the depths of 2 wide doors
men in suits roll him in
towards safety?
lights flash
I come closer
his hand
I want to wrap my fingers around his
he'll know
he can reach
like a child
who reaches for his mother's hand
the cookie jar, his favorite toy, the slight fear that turns into success
that fear becomes reality
he'll never reach.

To see you
Next to me under the covers,
Breathing sweetly beside me
I must be dreaming.
Your eyes are closed gently
Chest rises and falls nicely.
I wonder what goes on behind those eyelids.
All of that worry and frustration can't interrupt you now.
My fingers trace your skin
Like soft snowflakes falling.
You are so amazing.
Your body is warm
Just for me.
I fit in right here
So perfectly.
The happiest girl
I am
Just to see you
Sleeping with me.

The sky was black
twinkling with stars lit up all around
like you were the only person who could see
their incandescent beauty
and you were surrounded
smothered
in them
and being eaten
by these stars that were
just so pretty
dazy
wanting you just as much
enveloping you in everything they are
because they can't feel you
wish they could
and have this endless desire
to reach out for you
but they can't
and you wish to do the same

to touch them in all they are
be as close as you can
breathing with them
feeling what they feel
becoming numb
with a love for them
an adoration so great
you'll think about it
time and time again
until you can't remember
what it felt like
to love and be loved
by the stars
and you'll just look up
and wait.

Let's sit here awhile
Talk about the past
Dream of the path
I need life balanced

More importantly I need you

When my head is full
Of things unsaid
My bed is empty
Eye won't close

The visuals and memories in these lids

Until I'm with you
Walking with locked arms
Dancing for no one
But Ourselves

Raining down on each other.

We fell asleep together,
I asked before:
"Is it safe here?"
"Safe in my arms."
And I felt the protection
from the warmth of your body
around me.

I woke up
to a note on your pillow:
I watched you sleep,
I love you.
Be back soon.
I was in an apartment
your apartment.

I got up from the covers
peeked in your dresser drawer
tucked in the corner was
my pink underwear
my book of short stories
next to your shirts.
Down the hall in the bathroom
I found my toothbrush.
In the kitchen
Chai tea.
The living room
a sketchbook and pencil.
Mine
in your apartment.

What a shame
you never came home
to me.
So I woke right up
when I realized it was a bad dream.

We'll drive
Stare out the window
And sing
to each other
Eat terrible food
and laugh
with one another
gallivant around antique shops
and dream
of life together.

We'll reach the final destination
throw our suitcases
on the bed of our
cheap motel
and kiss passionately
wherever.

We're unlucky
So incredibly unfortunate
To find mistletoe
Hanging pretty above our heads
Waiting for that kiss
The one that comes with all the trimmings
Of what Christmas is
Alone
Separated
Wishing
You were next to me
Standing underneath this mistletoe
That now mocks romance at me
Above my head

I sit here
cold.
All I want
is to be wrapped up in you.
To close my eyes
and feel your hands
around me
The warmth of your skin
draped over me
Our legs intertwined
like pretzels
Twisted in ways
that only feel right
to us.
The moment we sit in
has no time.
There is no limit to how long
we sit as one.
So our lips touch
and instantly we are moved
Tingling erupts through me
Our eyes gaze at each other
through everything
In a second.
We long for the other one
The touch
feeling
love
To keep us in a moment timeless.
So I sit here
Longing for you
Until I can't stand it
anymore.

to put it simply.

Believe it or not love is yours
Not his or hers
Not mine
Yours

If you love, you love
to put it simply.

The choice is in your hands
Faults are outcomes
You make
Decide.

You would know
to put it simply.

If you were really truly in love
Because it's simple
Feelings aren't
Until..

You love
to put it simply.

These locks need no keys
Simplicity is the only cipher

It's under our noses
Unnoticed to all

But the few who find the answers
They are not lucky

Instead blessed.

You thought you had me
Like your little secret
A key hidden under your wing.

Until I found it.
Swallowed it whole.
It first ripped my heart open, then it was smooth all the way down.


You are spastic, confused.
Your key is lost.
You're too late.

You haven't realized
Keys aren't needed
To open these locks.

Snow falls
Over his eyes
Powdered
Cold skin
Hard to the touch

Each flake that falls
He sees her
Differently
What she became
Who she was

He spreads his arms and legs
Gives in to what's beneath
Sinks in
Shudders Erupt from inside
His heart feels like imploding

So his eyes close
They open
Warmth creeps over
She is next to him
They melt

Only one snow angel was there.

You
Create an eclipse in my mind
Words cannot form
Yet I'm so alive
Make me so silent

You
Next to me
Our hearts are magnetic
They gravitate towards each other
Make my heart beat in rhythm with yours

You
Torture my heart
Tugging and pulling
Melting into you
Make me want you more

You
Look at me
Look into me
There you go again
Make me love you

I believe you are truly perfect
You don't believe in that

I believe I am not perfect
You don't believe in that either

If to see is to believe
A parallel universe

It is not ideal
Selfish hearts

Dull minds
Through a mirror of perfections?

In the glass of imperfections
Settling for the disbelief

We lay as one
We are imperfectly perfect.

Red and white carnations
Red roses and white lilies

A surprise for me
For me
From you

You're a surprise in yourself
An old-fashioned sap

A sap for me
For me
From you

"Like never ending?"

I can still feel the presence of your arms around me,
Even after you're gone
The warmth of your hands, your lips
You

I felt whole.
Only me and you existed
In a never ending moment that I want to feel again
For an eternity.

Our hearts beat in time
When time stops
For us.
Just us, with no surroundings.

We are in midair
We are underwater
We are here
There's no need to leave.

I want to say it so badly.
I do know.
I'm so afraid of it.
I'm in it deep.
I won't get out.

The water's fine,
What about sharks?
I'm doubting myself,
Just dive under.

You look up at me.
You fell long before I did.
You're already there.
You're waiting patiently/impatiently.
You can't get out.

Save you?
Forget about the sharks,
I need to do this to myself.
Diving is easy when you're already in the water,

I'll close my eyes.
I'll flutter them open again.
I see you.
I don't see a trap.
I'll say it.

Once you stop looking for what you need,
It looks for you instead.
It finds you there
On the side of the street
With a look of defeat
But also regret
Somehow it knows you are prepared
For what's next
You haven't really lost
Just not yet finished.
Still learning
But have learned.
From mistakes some people like to call
Experience.

Not really.
Well sort of.
We watch for a few minutes.
Until...
We think the same thing.
You look at me
I at you
We smile in unison
Gravitate towards each other
Then the real movie starts.

We watch the end,
I go towards the door.

"Just one more?"
"You don't have to ask twice."

"How was the movie?"
Oh dear.
