Fate stitched us together
Love sewed us a pattern
Every bit of me is
Threaded through you
Darling we are patch work
Cross stitched across boarders
Time has hemmed us to perfection
And we are
A master piece

A woman asked me
How it felt to see my lover again
And I found myself
Most inconveniently out of words, darling
My mouth opened
I almost said
Being with him
Is like Summer rain
In the Sahara
Or the first sip of water taken
By a thirsting man
Like the cool feeling of grass beneath bare feet
In the spring
The smell of blooming Wisteria  
Like a bonfire in Autumn
The sound of leaves falling from the trees
It is like the first snow of winter
Blanketing the world in white
Or the the steam from a cup of tea
But instead I smiled
And closed my eyes

"It was everything I needed it to be."


.

you were my whole ******* ocean
but you only loved me in waves

are
insignificant
pale and empty
they shake over
the smallest task
ink stained palms
black and white

Your hands
are steady
scarred but strong
and when they clasp mine
I feel capable
of anything

My hands tremble
It has been too long
My heart is raw
And my lips are dry
Parched
Thirsty
My stomachs twists
I am starving  
With a kind of need
That cannot be satisfied
By dreams and played back memories
No.  
My body
Is craving
You

I woke up this morning
While the sun was still asleep
Before the dew dried
And as I began to reach the edge of consciousness
My fingers grazed the empty space beside me
Searching for the comfort of your warmth
But instead I was greeted with stiff sheets
And cool pillows
The groggy euphoria of the hope
That I was waking to your arms
Was short lived
And so with worn down feet
And shaking limbs
I rose to greet another day
Without you

His delicate notes
And symphonies
He plays
Drift through
The house
Filling the air
With sweet music
Melting my heart
Of stone
Bringing tears
That fill and spill
Out of my eyes
Like the spray of the ocean
And I wrap myself
In his love

Kiss me
Fully on
The mouth
Hold me
So tight it hurts
Until our bodies
Are no longer separate
But one
Please
Please don't let me go
You are a part of me
I need you
Like I need my lungs
Or my heart
(You are my heart)
I lean on you
When everything else
Falls out from under me
When I can't see my feet
You carry me
I need you
More than oxygen
You are my
Life support
Please
Please
Never stop loving me
Because I couldn't
Stop
Even if I tried

Small flame in darkness,
You became my inferno


Your spark scalded me.
