'I think a lot, but I don't say much.' - Anne Frank
I miss your warmth, your touch, your nearness, I miss the solid figure I see in the darkness, When I wake at night. I miss your warm breath, On my ear when I'm drifting in and out of sleep, And I miss your hand, lazily resting on my leg when you wake during the long night. I miss your presence, your comfort, your breathing, I miss the way you make me feel less alone when I need it

The long night
When the day comes to an end And the muscles in my body are relaxed and ready for rest I no longer have to think of the day ahead And my brain seeks thoughts of the life I may come to lead All I can hope is that I find happiness in whatever I do I know that sadness is enivitable Whether it be the loss of a loved one Or, less poingant, a disappointing grade, I'll know inside there are happier moments to come, The sadness is temporary, and with effort and positivity, it will fade

At Night
hands That burn into my skin with the fire of a thousand suns. Engulf me in your heat and blind me with the bright flames in your eyes. Singe my tongue with your soothing warm breath. And please, Will you smile at me with your eyes? Look so deep That you can see through my skin and into my vains, See my hot blood rushing to the surface when it senses we are touching. But at the same time, Please, Freeze my whole body, And stun me as your fingers trace my skin, Like beautiful icicles brushing against the window to my soul. Make my ears shiver at the slow sound of your heart, And melt my lips as I kiss where it beats

the senses
I had to look up the word 'dating' on Urban Dictionary because I didn't know what we were, what we are. And it said things like 'a socially acceptable form of prostitution' and 'feelings of puppy love that usually dissolve in a few weeks'. But this is not puppy love. This is not going to dissolve or fizzle out or whatever, you're not a fizzle you're a ******* fireworks display. And you turn everything in my head into this multi-coloured turbulence and I can't keep up with how much I adore you. But the thing is I don't know if your view is as good as mine. What if you're looking at something a little less beautiful. What if I'm your fizzle. What if I'm as temporary as the flame you use to light the cigarettes you find more addictive than my touch. If that's the case I'd rather I left you craving. Because if I'm your flame you're my forest fire and you're burning it all down until the only thing left standing is you. And I'll walk for miles across this carpet of ashes just to feel the softness of your skin against mine. And I'll cough and I'll splutter on toxic smoke but you'll just breathe it in because you never realised anything was even lost. You don't see me crawl you just know that I'm here, I'm here I made it I'm yours I'll always be yours because there's nothing else left. And maybe I can be content with that if only you will see that you could burn down everything and I still wouldn't put you out.

Heartburn
Is it possible to fall in love with the same person twice? I think I have. Just a look from him can plunge my heart deep into a place where new, unfound love exists. A place where I feel like I'm falling all over again, Into his beautiful mind, His captivating soul, His otherworldly features And a foreign place, where it is only we who understand the language of our adoration and desires

Is it possible?
I do not believe in soul mates - that there is a being on this earth for you and only you. Love is a matter of circumstance, timing and the feelings that are developed with these. But I do however, believe that sometimes we fall in love and think 'this is it'. This happens only once. we are not meant to spend our lives with everyone we fall in love with. But when you get that 'this is it' feeling, when you truly feel that - That is the closest thing to 'soulmates' anyone can get.

soulmates
In the dark I can find your lips I know exactly where you are in space You're breathing is quickening And I'm breathing you in I just need you everywhere Skin on skin yet not close enough Can you feel my heart beating for you? I can't focus on anything except you The way you keep looking at me Makes me feel invincible Can you taste the desire on my lips? The pain in my heart Please don't ever stop

Taste the desire on my lips
I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz, or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off. I love you as certain dark things are to be loved, in secret, between the shadow and the soul. I love you as the plant that never blooms but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers; thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance, risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body. I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride; so I love you because I know no other way than this: where I does not exist, nor you, so close that your hand on my chest is my hand, so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.

XVII (I do not love you...)
I want you to know one thing. You know how this is: if I look at the crystal moon, at the red branch of the slow autumn at my window, if I touch near the fire the impalpable ash or the wrinkled body of the log, everything carries me to you, as if everything that exists, aromas, light, metals, were little boats that sail toward those isles of yours that wait for me. Well, now, if little by little you stop loving me I shall stop loving you little by little. If suddenly you forget me do not look for me, for I shall already have forgotten you. If you think it long and mad, the wind of banners that passes through my life, and you decide to leave me at the shore of the heart where I have roots, remember that on that day, at that hour, I shall lift my arms and my roots will set off to seek another land. But if each day, each hour, you feel that you are destined for me with implacable sweetness, if each day a flower climbs up to your lips to seek me, ah my love, ah my own, in me all that fire is repeated, in me nothing is extinguished or forgotten, my love feeds on your love, beloved, and as long as you live it will be in your arms without leaving mine

If You Forget Me
I remember falling prisoner to the sweet Deep space of your eyes. Like mine were shooting stars, Racing towards the constellations in yours, Seeking out, A way into your being. The first time I tasted your lips, It wasn't long, As short as a life seems, When compared to the forever of our earth. But how I craved them until the next time, Oh, how I crave them even now, When I have kissed them, so many times since. And now, we have our little universe. You awakened A cold star, That now burns so fiercely, In the flame of your Love. Euphoria, You have changed me so, Yet I have never been so close, To my own soul. I love you, my love. I the earth, And you the sun, Warming me, Treasuring me. For this is how I want it to stay, For a long time. Your light is the only one I seek, And I the only place, For it to shine.
