In the face of beauty, I am breathless,
And I am asthmatic around you
My heart leaping from my body
Determined to cross paths with the one it loves.
My heart will leave my body
To climb into another
To snuggle deep within your chest
And say "I love you."
Awakening me and
Feelings long forgotten
The feelings I had for you.
I don't want to forget
secrets
late nights
whispers
of love
and comfort
agony in the most blissful way
imaginable.
I remember love
as if he is an old friend
he sings me to sleep
with promises of you.
and with you i know
fireworks
passion
warmth
flowers and grass
the breeze playing with my hair
the may air suffocating me
with happiness
The curtains conducting
a song of love
with the breeze and the birds chirping
Can you feel it?
can you feel me next to you
clutching, clinging, caring?
caring so much i could break.
fireworks fill my heart with
flowers and Easter eyes
the rebirth of love
seeds planted in my chest
a chain of daisies around my lungs.
a tree forms in my stomach
and the branches seem to quiver
in the may air
the sun kisses us
almost the way you kiss me
and we laugh together
swinging upward toward the sky
the may air is everywhere
and i am breathless in love
 Feb 2013 Cadence Musick
Jae Elle
the room with the
big oak table
is filled with windows
& she always keeps them
open to borrow a
breeze
from the warm countryside

the house always smells like
a summer rain
& he always kisses her
neck
when she sits on the
kitchen counter

the music is always
just low enough
to quietly swell the love she keeps
deep within her
bones

oh
he makes her feel
like home

where the city can't
cast enough
color


& the stars aren't so
alone
meaningless tattoos
and fingers stained blue
with the hair dye I used
last night to spite myself
are this moment's triumphs.

a half full bathtub
with most of my body
above water
is all that is keeping me
from drowning.

symbols of my unfinished life
start closing in on me
until i convince myself
of artificial claustrophobia

"I never did anything to you"
is the cheap excuse tingling
on my slippery, fat tongue

But you never did anything to me either
and my teeth still
grind against each other
when I'm reminded
of your existence

We could have loved each other
if we met today
instead of six years ago
but I'm glad we didn't
because I don't want  to love you
Sunset falls low, dark,
The trees fade from green to black -
Lights dim, one last breath.
Light rain washes the red from my soul,
I close my eyes to see the darkness -
My own personal escape from the world...
The crisp air trickling its way to my chapped lips,
Invading my mouth and crawling into my lungs,
A brief discovery -
I exhale,
S    L    O    W    L    Y  
Thoughts are relinquished almost instantaneously,
Quietly in my solitude; nothingness -
Extraneous Relief.
Tugging with full moon,
Face— shining haloes of her,
Under Milky Way.
You
aren’t
worth
a piece
of
paper
Would you think that I was worth it
Now?
Many fights later
Many years too late
Would you do what you did then
Now?
I don’t owe you anything
But I’m sorry
Sorry
sorry/sorry/sorry/sorry/sorry/
Endings hurt
and I took your “Hope” away
One day in May
When I decided who I am
Now
I’m not sorry
When it was him or you
I picked me
And that meant him too
No longer you
But was it really ever you?
I guess we’ll never really know
But I guess we know who we are
Now
To tell you the truth
he was always more than a shadow
I hope you miss me

*******
you
we couldn’t stay that way forever
it’s what I wanted
more than anything
but it would be asking
you
and me
to remain the same
and who could promise that?
we can’t get it back
too many things have happened
but we can go forth together
can’t we?
can we learn to love that way?
all these years
so close
and yet
i still feel the may air
i feel it more than the june air
or the october air
or january
i know we are infinite
the way i know your hands
and your face
and voice
in you i see me
in your eyes i see my
future
in your whispers i hear my
past
and in my heart
i feel my present
pumping away
