I wish I’d kissed you in Paris. As we sat by the river, your breath brushed my skin making me shiver.

Calling you friend now instead of lover will never feel right, as our shoulders gently touched under the soft moon light.

And as we walked together along those cobbled streets, I couldn’t help but think of all those nights spent tangled between sheets.

Where we’d made love whilst staring into each others eyes, never once thinking there’d be a moment when we’d say our final goodbyes.  

Yet they do say all good things must come to an end. And the irony of being in the most romantic city with the man that I loved, is that I had to call him friend.

We got on the train both knowing our lives were again about to split in two, but I think you could see in my eyes that it would be and could only ever be you.

You told me you loved me as I stepped out the door, an echo of a sentence you’d said a thousand times before.

And as your train sped into the future, you were gone much too fast, but I stood on the platform still stuck in the past.
I watch him sleep and trace his face with a finger
he could be you, but he’s better.
His hair is a deep chocolate brown his eyes like caramel
his smell is clean like washed cotton on a breeze
and I am seized of a deep ache.

I loved you once.
A pure deep love.
A painful love that never left.

He stirs and his face creases into a smile
I want to follow his dream.
To sit in the curve of his lips and watch the images unfold.
Knowing that within the circle of his dream, I hold his focus.
I want to spiral down and burrow under his skin,
to be owned just by him.

He’s not you.
He loves me.
He’s caused me no pain.

I enter the crook of his arm and silently exhale
Knowing my kisses are printed on his body
My love upon his heart
He’s not you,
He’s better.

In sea of moments I swim,
each stroke being a step.
Air tickles my senses,
as it explodes in lungs.
Eyes open like shutters camera,
seeing world in its beauty.

In sea of breaths I move,
each inhale merging with moment.
Sun sings with vibrations of light,
opening heart to echo.
Stars shine with flickering magistry
making wishes fly.

In a sea of moments and breath,
I am my own avatar,
AWAKE and GRATEFUL.
I inspired myself with my own quote of the day. Which was...
Today I choose to stand in day, celebrating my inner gifts to be my own inspiration and dance in sea of moments.

Through a colorful gate, I step.
Gracefully prancing
in light of day.

Feeling,
the power of moment.
Feeling,
heart play a sacred song.

The wind guides,
as I plant my dreams.
Watering with breath.
Tending to them rain or shine.

I glide in rhythmic pleasures
surrendering to jump over rocks
until,
seedlings are ready
for harvest.

And with gratitude I reap,
blossoming fruits of my efforts.
Empowered by scent.
Invigorated by beauty.
Dancing with all my aspirations.

Into a miniature world, I wander.
World inside a breath of imagination.
Everything sparkles,
in hues of rainbow moments.
Everything touches heart,
with cool breeze.
Melodies build in momentum.
Eyes revolve in sea,
as lids open wide becoming sail.
Light merges with dark.
And clocks expand to reveal
clapping hands
that indicate no time.
All is peaceful
even when raindrops fall,
in spinning motions to heal.
All is peaceful inside love,
as reality merges with visions.
A place I visit often,
as a prancing, I will go.

TIME, what is it???
when face to face with clocks voice
that murmurs softly.
Tick Tock, Tick Tock.

Where does TIME go?
Is a master collecting
unused moments for storage.
Tick Tock Tick Tock.

TIME fleets without thought.
Without seeing its construct
in game of life.
Tick Tock, Tick Tock

It echoes louder and louder
trying to grab senses,
as instincts take over
stay grounded on task.
Tick Tock, Tick Tock

TIME takes flight
when unaware mind
is distracted by journey.
Tick Tock, Tick Tock.

Where does TIME go,
when not in realm called
The Milky Way Galaxy?
Tick Tock, Tick Tock.

TIME dissipates.
when focused on truth
as hearts rhythm overpowers.
Tick Tock, Tick Tock is exposed

In truth, there is no TIME
only the heart
that dictates with gentle beat.
Ba Bump, Ba Bump

All thats left
are shadows of questions
and the divine sound of
Ba Bump, Ba bump.

I love you life
all you bring to my senses.
You make way for smile
to cause self to feel free.
You orchestrate tears
to help my flower-like being grow.

I love you life,
and everything you are.
You expand my heart to embrace another's.
You give me wings to fly in dance
as birds sing.

I love you life for all the
ups and downs of emotions
They move like ferris wheel
showing me a landscape
of beauty.

I love you life
all you bring to my lifetime.
as I move grateful
to love everyday.
Inspired by Santita poem They met at night  Thank you for sharing your gifts.
