And I hold an ocean full of you
inside of me
swimming too deep
can barely breath
stuck in your melody
all day/night on repeat

I find you at a place
where feelings outweigh reasons
and words fall short
where the heart only knows
what it seeks

The sunset in all its glory
You.
Me.
There.
all the orange outside the lines
splayed on the faces
Yours and mine

And when the dying star breathes its last peace
I look into your eyes and see me.

As I lie here
Matching my breath to yours
Sun kisses the horizon
The night melts into the wee hours of dawn
A perfect symphony of our breathing
There’s something pregnant in this silence
that looms over our beings
A gentle reminder of all the years

There are days when years of anguish uncurls into a breath of sigh
This is one of them

Fall last year
I saw the warm glow
spread on your cheeks
like a shooting star
across a starless night
My fingers run through
the chestnut halo
splayed on my lap
Cocooned by serenity
under the veil of a pregnant hush
I close my eyes
consumed by fullness
and you.

sometimes i see these flashes
and they repeat themselves
a supercut of us
you’re lying there
still.
your feet warm
and i almost reach out for you
and i almost lose you
again.
what is it
you were saying
i catch the hoarseness
in your voice
out of this
nothingness.

a void
i pass my hand through
and it takes me back to
you,
you
again.

now you’re out of my bed
soft glowy being
i sigh
lost
lost inside you again.

your fingers
icy cold now
the cold burns through me
you’re going now
you went

away.

this coldness i feel
skin deep
purging my soul

pills foam at my mouth
i see your eyes
irises dark
knees collapsing
i bow down to you

my insides aching for you

you reach out for me
at last
two hands
soft

i feel alive in death

— The End —
