A pale orange glow
slips past the darkness
in soft patterns
of a waking dawn

I hold you close,
nestled to my chest
watching as you sleep,
enchanted by your beauty

Slow tempo’d breathing
lulls me sweetly as
your eyelids flutter,
gradually opening

You see me and smile,
that beautiful smile
I look forward to each day,
I return the gesture

I kiss you tenderly,
feeling my lips melt
into yours as my heart
once again skips a beat

“Good morning beautiful”
I whisper as I kiss you again
then sigh, gazing upon you,
knowing I am a fortunate man

And I just lie there
wide awake and in love
at the start of another
*wonderful day
Good morning Beautiful
May either be the reason of heavenly delight or terrifying ache
Will you take the risk?

Liv
My heart
Cracked at the corners
Freehand stitches attempting to hold it together
Whispering your name through the beats
Your heart*
Rich shades of crimson
Never broken and never needing to be fixed
Each strong pounding keeps you alive
Our hearts
Complete opposites
Weak leaning against strength
Dark looking to light
Our veins are ******* in each other like two ships
Leading back to us
*Two hearts in one
I wanna . . .
seek stars in a moonlit night
free my skin on the seashore
radically paint fragments of soul discovery
in the rarest, most deepest ocean
throwing my thoughts underwater
mind as blue as my emotions
poetry as sandcastles in my eyes
music so pure, the ocean breeze sounds
and majestic art of living in cosmic presence as meditation to an undying spirit.
Nothingness.

We've grown claws instead of nails,
and now they're tearing at our throats
leaving feral cuts.

Like a single atom that impossibly wants to split,
we're digging our claws into each others' skin.
Exposing wounds,
spilling guts.
"Careful, you might slip on 'em," she smiled,
not human like;
teeth sharp and menacing.

I did.
And now she lathers her hair with my blood.
A shiny red prize as she rises to the top;
a red supernova,
preaching about what is right and wrong.

Two atoms.

A miracle.

I sit down on the earth,
watching you rise, tending to my wounds.
And I tend, and I tend.
And I tend.

Heal.

Claws; I'm ready.

One day you'll dim and fall,
And I'll just walk away.

Not a supernova,
not an angel,
not a monster.

I'm a human;
body and soul,
and I won't let you waste my energy
no more.
Be kind to yourself; walk away from people and things not worth your time.

Bathing in moonlight
Drenched in fatigue
Ready to surrender
Consciousness to sleep
Pastel skies
Stretch across vast seas
Stresses of existence
Long since relieved
Possibilities endless
Rolling waves transgress
Lost within
A beautiful nothing
I pour myself into
your glass each night,
a toxic taste, I beg
for you to choke on.

You drain our bottle
dry, drinking desert
laps but still thirsting
for Pacific oceans.

Delving into firework
taste-buds, savouring
how we spill so easily in
nights drunken palms.

Telling me I'm cheap
stuff, liquid eyes that
keep you sober, but are
still a tempting sip.

I know we're done
I've seen this coming
Those ties binding our heart
Break all of a sudden
I've watched as we started building walls
Made with shame and guilt
I am there when our world shift into a different axis
A world without me and you
I've noticed how our everything turns to nothing
Those cold treatments
Those eyes that seemed to focus on anything but me
And those smiles I wished I was the reason
I know its the end of our story
But I don't want a trajic ending
I'm still hoping one day you'll come back
And together we'll break these borders
