my eyelashes flicker upwards to see you already staring into me
our blue eyes pooling together
communicating solely through dilated pupils
no waves are crashing together because
our waters have never been kept
                               separate

but we stir
and stir

until our tsunami waves throw themselves at skyscrapers and they come

crumbling







down

In the nights when the stars come
And heat from the sun is almost gone
You and I go for a walk
The world around us falls fast asleep
But we are content
in eachothers company
The moon high above seems to whisper
kiss her kiss her
And so you do

the beauty that is more than skin deep
is the beauty of her ocean eyes
that swell and sway
and open to raw divine innateness .
Beauty is in her gentle steady hand and in her open smile.
in the depths of her buoyed soul
so full it leaks from the cracks in her rib cage
onto the pages of her skin
leaving every bit of her heart on her sleeve on purpose.
feminine and imperfect
pink and smudged  
open and raw
beauty is more than skin
take a look within yourself
look at your mother
your cousin
she is loveliness
exterior beauty is bliss,
but a kind soul is wonderful

There are moments you wait for
Where life hands you these seconds, which turn into incredibly wonderful every nerve exposed minutes. Creating lifetimes of moments.
The fireworks in your chest kinds of moments.
Standing under cathedral paintings in Rome and wondering how someone human made something so unearthly and raw kind of moments.
We feel.
We create.
We inspire love.
So, why can't I tell you that you make me feel as though I'm lying under the Tuscan sun with sand in every fingertip? I smile like the Mona Lisa every time your hand touches mine.
I feel.
I create.
I love.
Do you?

It's in the shake of my hands
In the tangle of fingers
It's the smudged mascara under my eyes
It's there

the one in charge of each beat of my heart

Like Icarus
I flew to close to the sun
my wings of wax melted
and great was the sorrow.
My sun
we lit the match from both ends
and watched as my wings and fingers burned.
You were beautiful my sun, my wonderful wonderful love
but we were not meant
not meant to love
and so my sun
my lovely sin
I must say goodbye
