The Transient Poet
With you
I am a bird soaring through open air, wind ruffling my feathers above the world and all the pain

It disappears

                     replaced by a warmth like the sun's rays beating, radiating down into my heart. The rays of life inspiring happiness anew

                                      we are free

The Transient Poet
I could be

Dancing in a room
With lights that never sleep
And the heartbeat of a writer
And the bodies in the heat

Soaking in a picture
With a moving color stream
And the stories of a filmer
And the people of a dream

Laughing in a ball
With the chat of distant friends
And the tales of a neighbor
And the night that never ends

Instead I lay here

Lounging on my bed
With the darkness of the dusk
And listening to lovely lyrics
And they flow inside my head

While quietly we talk
With thoughts tenderly entwining
And the bliss that bubbles inside
And erupts in our cores

Sensing the heat of the other
With our bodies that lay so close
And the static energy in the space between
And the euphoria of purely being.

And there is nowhere I would rather be.

The Transient Poet
take me away
melt my soul
fill my heart
make me whole

make me dream
that we could be
holding hands
under a tree

yearning for
our embrace
to ignite our souls
in heavenly grace

a world of stars
everlasting flames
surround our heads
and hearts the same

instead i stare
into the sea
the sea of dreams
that couldn't be

Rachel Strowbridge
you are the soothing hum
the grass stains on my jeans
the summer in my hair
the color in my cheeks
you are the the constant wave
beating against my heart
the warm honey on my lips
the paint on my nails
you are the perfect dance
and a moonlit ride
the sticky vanilla cream
you are the flower in my palm
the reason I smile
the chills down my spine
you are more than you'll ever know
you are the love of my life
