Imagine your dreams as reality,
one who crafts and shapes how their life will be.
A smith with unlimited skill,
unmatched force inside,
called the strength of ones will.

You carry a charge within you,
A powder keg of potential dreams;
Don't let all these shadows dissuade you.
Light your fuse and burst life at the seams!

There's no need to rein in adventure,
not when the company's true.
Just be sure to take stock and measure,
the loyalty of those close to you.

The message that resonates deep,
that echos within each of our souls is
have courage -- live what you dream up.
No one else can achieve your heart's goals.

I'm lost in a reverie.
A cloudy, soft lit, expanse in my mind
my favorite place to visit
when I'm missing you.

I linger on the moment I first saw you.

Your stride confident as you found me.
Your eyes alight with excitement reflecting my own.
You reminded me of some imagined friend I dreamed
long ago; who in that moment, found his way to the home he wanted most.

My feet carried me toward you of their own volition.

I fit into your arms so neatly.
My smiling  lips found respite in the crook of your neck
I held back bubbling giggles as you encircled me
and I listened, as the world shifted around us;
The end of life as we knew it.

In that moment I heard so much keener; saw so much clearer

The streets were bright and loud!
The earth whispered your name.
The way your gaze held me, like I was the only woman you'd ever seen.
Adoration flooded my senses.

"I love you." I knew in this moment, I had been ruined for all others.

No one could ever touch me the way you had.
No other eyes would ever see me the way you do.
No other face could carry the sun and stars upon it
to reflect back my wishes and dreams.

So many needs and wants we chase in life...
*....but it was only ever you.
I don't quite remember
our first kiss
but I remember
every kiss after

I remember the electricity
eccentricity
of your hands
exploring
your lips
ignoring nothing

I remember
the need
the crave
the desire
for more

I don't quite remember
our first kiss
but I remember
every kiss after

Do you ever rub your eyes so hard that
you start seeing the galaxy.
Mostly black
with flashes of purple and
other lights.
You can see,
even though your eyes
are closed.

I want to go there
I want to be weightless
I want to disappear
Sky
I love the night sky
but it makes me feel
so small.
To look up
and see the vast darkness,
so massive and beautiful.
To see the glimmering stars,
and wonder what it would be like
to be up in space.
Its overwhelming to think
that there are over 500 billion galaxies.
I'm only one person.
One small human,
on a tiny planet.
The whole world is moving,
and I'm just standing still.
Have you ever zoned out,
because you're thinking too hard,
or maybe not thinking at all.
And your eyes go kinda fuzzy, and you feel
calm.
You are not thinking about what you're staring at.
You feel calm.
You can feel your pulse,
and your chest rises
up
and down.
It's like everything is okay for a moment.
Then you blink,
and your calm world is gone.
Ripped out from under you.
And you're back in the real world.
