A vague thought,

As elusive as the heart

Air hanging heavy like wine.



It's an unknown world

Bright with chaos

But we chance it anyway,



Cheeks rosy with ignorance

And the thought of falling short-

We're too busy melting like stars in June.



Here we lie, close as oak and ivy

Yielding to each other as melting snow.

Eyes glowing with sparks from fireworks.



Sharing words sweet as honey from the comb,

Words glimmering like a gossamer rain

Words soft as Summer's breeze.



Here we stand arm in arm,

Turtle doves that can't live asunder

Forever to stare at the moon's white flame.



Here we wear our scars like stars

Pure and open, quivering like shadows

Hearts and souls bowed like violets after rain.

I can open up my ears and listen to you talk
I can open up my heart and receive everything you have to say
I know I can continue to trust in the words that come from your mouth
While you hold my hand as we walk together
Making footprints in the sand

I never doubted what you spoke over me
I never doubted what you held in your hands for me
And though naturally I’ve only seen one set of footprints
I know spiritually there was another set right next to me in the sand
Whenever I felt I was falling
You was there to help me stand
You always remained true to me
And in my darkest nights
You opened my eyes and revealed your light

You held me and carried me through when I couldn’t see two
When we would make our footprints in the sand
You promised me that you’ll always be with me
As I make my way treading and conquering this land

I trust and believe what you say
When I was lost and didn’t know what else to do
You spoke to my heart and you made a way
I’ve never lost faith in you
I never hardened my heart or closed myself off to you
Instead I softened my heart and let you in
My life wouldn’t be what is without you
That’s why I never drifted away from you
I chose to walk with you making my way in this land
Making footprints in the sand

My spirit opens like a sunflower in snow
i want some more of what you told me I could have,yet you never let it go.
my attic lair I kept to hide away from
peeping toms.
Paper whispers a secret now a blot on my side.
drawn as a lover but with no heart.

sigh

Fall carries sense of self to brain to work
and find the worth of a grainy sand
to the oceans touch.

still a charming writer did my muse
guess better?

I took you to the edge,
hand in hand
one last time.

It's funny how
the weather always
knew the mood.

There was so much rain,
so much pain.

"I've always wanted to fly..."
You pulled your hand away
I crouched too close to the edge,

"If you jump...
you won't fly.
You'll just be falling."
I've never seen a face
so blank, so indifferent.

"I wouldn't be breaking a trend,
I've been falling,  my whole life."

I stood, wiping hair from your face,
kissed you once
and then grew wings.

To the stars in the sky,
Bright as can be.
Tonight of all nights,
love can be set free.

Tender young hearts,
Wait at hand.
To be let loose,
and roam far lands.

emotions run deep,
within each soul.
Of a passionate delight,
to make two hearts whole.

A moment approaches,
young lad moves in.
Says away from her,
this night beginning to dim.

She looks him in the eyes,
as he looks back.
Tonights my night he says,
his emotions over pack.

He turns to her as he says,
your eyes are like stars.
Tonight of all nights,
together we'll make it ours.

He moves in grabs her hand,
whispers in her ear.
May our lips become one,
so i can make you my dear.

As lips touched,
gentle and so seductive.
Now their young lips,
have become productive.

I looked to the left and then to my right.
I then took a look at the clouds.
The rain began to drizzle and overshadow my soul.
Its mist already settled comforting to my thoughts.

I looked at the rain and finally it dropped into my eyes.
To my surprise the feeling that gave me sanity was wrong.
To my soul it does not belong but yet I dwell.
Wrapped in imagination I bring love to my wounded mind.

Kiss my soul, comfort my heart, drop with every drip.
I feel it kissing me, damaging the inner me.
This secret love affair is killing me.
I look inside your window and there you are Family and all.

You stare at me as any animal would watch their prey.
She looks at you and wondered on your gaze.
No secret to child, never amazed at this stage,
But I can feel you, your thoughts.

With every drip I’m lost in time,
Though she is blind to future and past.
The acid in the rain washes our secret away,
As you blow a kiss to me with every drip of the rain.

All our words wear winter clothes
Leaving little to expose
The weak sunlight taps on your face
Slow motion seems to be the proper pace

The air is heavy and deep
A stare we love to keep
Snow falling like fluff
sometimes words aren't enough

We stand in the cold
Waiting for our story to unfold
We don't feel the wind blow
Only our warm glow

Under the dim sun light
Only your blue eyes are in sight
My lips in warm bliss
As we share a winter kiss

A warm breath we share
Its a little bit to much to bear
She pulls away, eyes dancing
She gives her house a glancing

She speaks in a quiet voice
We don't have a choice
She pulls away
She can't delay

She give me a shining smile
I stand there for a while
the warmth still there
I trudge home half aware

I lay in my bed
I feel half dead
Smile still on my face
I drift to that familiar place

We both lean in, both eager, and me hesitant;
not for what is to come but the thought that once it happens,
There is no more chance for the First.
Leaning in, I inhale sharply, breathing ragged breaths,
Eyelids half shut
Faces so close I can hear his steady breathing, even though this is The First for him as well,
Bodies so close I imagine I can feel his heartbeat, chest expanding with each breath
Whisper unintelligible sweetness into my ear, words tickling my skin,
And the smell of sweet boyish deliciousness.
His nose presses against my cheek
Soft lips touching mine
Pressing
Breathing
Never wanting this moment to end.
We kiss and it feels like time stops only for us and we are barely touching but it's more than enough
And then my little sister runs up, and I have to take her home.
We stand and shyly gaze at each other, your bike, my sister and a few feet of air between us as we say goodbye and you mention looking up something insignificant at home
I walk the seventy-five feet to my house and you race off on your bike, both bashful of what has passed between us and still thirsty for more of each other.
The next day at school we meet in the hallway and walk to first period together, murmuring shyly
about It, air between our arms electric, and I'm desperate.
Desperate to touch you,
To fall into your embrace
And touch my lips to your neck,
Face,
Lips,
And never leave you for an instant,
No need to say a single word
Just be with you and comb my fingers through your hair,
And breathe.
