solar systems.
we are just one of the many in the universe.
but in the mess of planets and stars,
i found you.

There are parts of me
aching to be touched again,
but only by you.

baby lie with me
with your hand
beneath my back
your gentle fingertips tracing
the outline of my ribs on my
bare chest
i've got my hand on
your chest
i can feel each
heartbeat,
your heart fluttering gently like
a caged butterfly
the sun melts
slowly
like watercolour behind the hills
and we continue
to lie
there
just the two of
us
there was no
tomorrow
only the
moment
of the
night

you were my second skin
the familiar warmth
the comforting caress
the soft sound that rang like bluebells in my ears
and now you're gone
a void of cold, bitter air
the comfort no longer lingers
your song no longer sings
all that's left is a sliver of your touch
a slight warmth encapsulated by a cold frost
it still warms my chest
i'll be okay

I fell asleep to the sound of the ocean
the waves reminded me of the way you repetitively touched me -
softly and fiercely, all in one motion
and I wish I could feel that same exhilaration one more time

fill my lungs with smoke
I light cigarettes,
in hopes that i will forget you.
i cant
I light cigarettes,
in hopes that the smoke will wash away your scent.
spices and vanilla
I light cigarettes,
in hopes that i will forget how you tasted.
coffee and bagels
I light cigarettes,
in hopes that the fires i start will burn a hole in my memory so i can forget the colour of your eyes, or how they gleamed like sapphires.
i still see the sapphires
And the truth is,
i cannot forget you,
Or how you smelled like spices and vanilla,
Or how every morning when i kissed you and you’d taste like the bagels and coffee that you had,
Or how your eyes are the centre of my universe, and how they glimmer like distant stars a million light years away.
These cigarettes are not enough,
they do not intoxicate me as much as my thoughts of you do.
And even if i tried to drown myself in the deepest oceans,
or if i tried to throw myself off the highest buildings,
i will never, never, be able to forget you.
fill my lungs with smoke

your bones,
they protrude
at awkward angles,
where the veins meet your muscles.
the thick grey lines,
cast on your ivory skin,
like waves on the violent ocean surface,
the shadows from your bones.
from your collar bones,
to your ribcage,
to your hips,
to your thighs,
and to your ankles.
the lack in the amount of flesh,
the lack in the amount of muscle mass.
to me they were perfect.
your bones,
they were just
beautiful.

your eyes are hurricanes;
they enrapture me in their
stormy green-blue shades,
they whisk me away
like alice
to your wonderland.
your lips are earthquakes;
each quiver
of those perfectly curved lips
make me tremble and shake
inwardly
and my knees buckle without
my knowing.
your hands are tsunamis;
they travel up and down,
a mind of their own,
aliens.
they caress every curve and edge,
study every detail of
the skin
over my muscles and bones.
you, my dear
are a spectacle indeed.

the ocean
it’s calling me.
its sweet longing,
tugs at the echoes of the beach.
the water is the greatest illusion,
seemingly blue and seamless,
it washes up,
clear as crystal.
the water stretches for miles
like millions of diamonds
floating on the transparent linen
blurred by the glint of the sun.
sailboats glide past
creating the only dents
in the flawless sheet of foam
haunting the blue ink.
swish
my eyes close
and i lean back
and i let the arms of the waves
catch me
the tides pull me down
until my head is no longer above the surface
and i do not struggle
but say my farewell to the sunlight.
swish
the sounds are fading
and my vision is receding
i try not to fight
and i let my body lie limp
the world will never know i am gone.
the sky will never spill a tear.
insignificant
insignificant
when you hear the echoes of the ocean
or see the million diamonds lined up along the shore
i hope you think of me
and i hope you know,
i am free
swish
