The window is frosty from the chilly winter night.
A heater is pushed to its limits in the corner and the room has the feeling of  a sweltering summer morning.
Thump----Thump----Thump
The loud beat of my heart is drowning out all sounds and thoughts.

So soft is your hair that I'm truly feeling for the first time.
Pale and smooth is your skin as we lay together for the first time.

We lay so close your breath enters my nostrils and breathes life into my soul. So close are we that the magnetism I feel with you in the room is now the force of a giant star that sends its rays into the dark eternity.

Ever closer we lean into each other. Each moment spans into another and into another then into another. Time stops and looks at us.

Our lips touch and in that moment you breathe life into my empty soul.

LOUD is the breath rattling in my chest.
COLD is the sweat pouring down my face.
STONE is my body and TERRIFIED is my soul.
ughwaa ummm.... I fight the terror.
sweet is your voice as you speak to me
warm is your skin as you pull me close
vanished are the demons from my mind as I drift off to sleep.

Adrift above a field
Warm light and cool breeze mix amid my yellows and blacks.
Weary are my eyes
Staring at the horizon for a brighter day.
Weary are my wings
Flitting from purple, to red and then to blue.

Dangerously close to being carried by the breeze
Far away from my goal. My eyes nearly close.

Sudden and amazing life returns to my limbs.
All other shades and shapes turn to grey and fade away.
Bright are your petals that shine in all directions.

I have reached my sun and my stars.
Forever will my days be illuminated in your astounding light.

So much emotion churns within me these days.
Like a tantrum thrown over an empty cup or missing snack.

Joy so free the winds of change stop to appreciate.
Like curly hair bouncing on a sweaty forehead from a toothy laugh.

Pride so high mountains of gold are rust in comparison.
Like shining light in cool blue eyes.

Fear so deep as the endless chasm that can be quenched as you check each passing breath for life in the dark night.

Pain so strong as the purest steel bound with the hardest memories and worst decisions. Yet resolute in anticipation of the crashing waves.

I watch the gentle rise and fall as they sleep.
