A river is aware
of its course...
wise to the ways
of water.

You are a wonder,
One I can hardly describe.
Perhaps like the cosmos above our heads.
With galaxies burning in your eyes,
I trace constellations across your skin.
A smile cuts across your face like a shooting star,
Glittering, burning, a sight to behold.
Laughter bursts from your chest,
So bright and warm,
Supernovas fizzle out in shame.

You are a wonder,
one I will always hold dear.
Like the cosmos above our heads,
I’ll always look at you in sheer awe.
With your luminous heart
With your halcyon mind
You are a wonder
And you are mine.

do not date a girl
who writes.
she will internalize
everything,
carve poems
into your eyelashes
instead of
kissing them,

she will analyze you,
calculate age
from the rings
your coffee cup
leaves
instead of refilling it.

she will memorize
the way your
lips curl around steam,
but not that you
take it
two sugars,
no cream.

she will read your
palm instead of
holding it
against her chest.

she will not
blink
when you leave,
because she is
already
romanticizing it.
the
babbling brook
with
winter snow
she
did not know
which
way
that
spring would flow
Silence can be tough when you have something to say.
I lost my voice  (quite literally, I am going to a surgical center today so they can figure out what is wrong).
