the sound of smooth jazz
sheets the room with ****** passions
that dance heavily across
the crowd.
and through the utter thickness
of a blaring saxophone
and the delicate taps of a piano's keys,
I clutch to your tummy
and lie my head on your chest.
your arm is draped gently
around my shoulders
as you snap your fingers
to the tune.
my fingers find the way to
the soft pieces of hair behind your neck
and trail down your skin,
all the way down to your shirt.
as the music surrounds me
and fills me with great desire
to touch you
(and for you to touch me)
I slowly undo the buttons,
one by one.
I leave fragile kisses
on your cheeks,
neck,
cool skin,
and let my fingertips
glide across your arms.
what could be better than
being here beside you -
enchanting music traveling through
our ears, through our veins,
and into our hearts?
what could be better
than spending this moment
with you?

no matter how many times i
tell myself that taking my
own life is a promise
i'll keep, i know
i'll never come to succeeding.
for one, i'm a bigger coward
than the cowardly lion,
but most importantly,
i wouldn't be happy in
life or death
without you by my side.
you give me hope,
and a strong mindset
that makes me feel like
not everything in this world is
as bad as it seems.
and i've come to find
that it's easier to be happy
and hear bubbles of laughter
growing throughout my body
than to be sulking around
all the time like a limp
piece of moldy cloth.

It's strange
to think about
that you are my best friend
and that you are the one who's always
stood by me through it all, because
a lot of people tend to drift away
from there parents in this age,
but I am so grateful and blessed
to have you in my life because
mother, you are my angel,
always by me through thick and thin,
and I love you with
all the love a
child can
give.

a.m.

I never in my entire life thought that
we would be together; not because
I didn't think it was possible, but
because maybe it was too good to
be true.
But now that it's really happening,
I found myself falling deeper
and deeper in love with you
each day;
every morning as the sun of dawn
breaks through my window,
every time the moon peaks
out from behind the clouds,
every night when the stars
come to terms with how incredible
they are as individuals.
And even though I know
we're young,
so young to fall in love,
I can't help but believe
with all my heart
that you are the one for me
and that I am the one
for you.
