i love you more is a loaded statement
more than what?
your parents? siblings? friends?
but all along i knew I loved you more
i love you more than ice cream on
hotter than hell July days,
i love you more than the earthworms love the rich soil in which they sow,
i love you more than pink sky when the sun starts to set,
i love you more than the pictures i take and the words i write,
because to be honest, everything i write
ends up being about you.
i love you more than the universe loves it children
i love you more than the leaves at 2 AM covered in dew,
i love you more and more each day
and i hope
you
do
*too,

you know who you are

the world of gray

you blur the world from black and white
to different shades of gray
you're like a wind storm you can't hear till it's only a mile a way
you're an abyss so black and deep,
we lose our minds trying to comprehend
and every time i think of you i always end up at the end
you're like light that isn't quite dim
but far too bright,
and I don't know how i make it through the night
cause without you by my bedside
i tremble,
i don't know who the hell you are
but you're someone i resemble

versus

"what could of been"
-setting fires with our love
-causing earthquakes with our passion
-had songs written about our gaze
-storms from our power struggle
-you + me

"what is"
-crying tears of acid
-constant ache deep in the center of my heart
-tormenting my brain, going insane
-you - me

where have you been?

writing about you,
you are the sunshine
you are the the freckles that dot my face
you are the smell of the dew in the early morning
you are the light that led the way
you are gone
and that i cannot accept.

sister, come back.

Sad

Lost and Found

I lost myself in the ways that I tried to love you
& I lost myself in the ways that I tried to make you love me

I lost myself through bruised knuckles
& blood-stained wrists

I lost myself that time, at your friend’s house, when I said no,
& you didn’t listen

I lost myself in our endless fights
& how you always made me feel like it was my fault

I lost myself the night you grabbed me in the arena
& left “your mark” for two weeks

I found myself the day we said goodbye
& it felt like I could breathe again

I found myself when then the scars started to fade
& the bruises disappeared

I found myself when your words no longer haunted me
& the thought of you didn’t break my heart anymore

I found myself when I stopped thinking about you
& started thinking about myself

sleep is a waste when you exist

you are the wind,
the breezes that
blow

you are the stars,
the freckles that
glow

you are my sighs,
that hide my crippling
doubt

you are the abyss,
into which i
shout

you are everything
that means something
to me

you are the reason
i cannot
*sleep

for you know who

She's All That...

She is the beginning
As well as the end
The best part of the middle
Then start over again

The sweet part of the taste
On the tip of your tongue
The wisdom of old
The giggle of young

She is the breeze
That blows in the Spring
The long distance call
That brings you close with the ring

The moment you hear
Someone say yes
She is the mystery
That hides in the guess

She is the hope
That you hold onto
The talk of the town
The brand in the new

The little crease
At the edge of the smile
She's the bees knees
The answer to why

She is all this and
She is all that
When it comes to it all
She's where it's all at

30 years ago today I married the love of my life...
We've had our ups and downs but over all it's been a wonderful ride!
