The stars above her head they glow
I beg a peace of mind to know
That when you go back home so long
You won't see her, don't play her song

Bliss so deep and trust so fair
No matter what, I'll always care
But please don't tell me what I deserve
I said I'm here, those aren't just words

And I will miss that time we made out to Miles
That night brought tears to the turntable dial
And despite all the words you desperately say
I can tell; I know you are not okay

I must be honest, I'm not sure
If this will die or long endure
I cannot keep serendipity at bay
But I'm still scared dear, and I want you to stay
my mind takes snapshots
capturing the glimpses I receive of you
and all the idiosyncrasies
I'm growing to adore
those brown eyes emanating warmth
and infinite comfort
you hanging off the bed
laughing and getting high
or
just talking
probing conversations about
mothers and poetry
I respect your mind
I hope you mine
my fingers embarking on a journey across your chest
the heat between our torsos
and a body of perfect function and design
my, Old Soul
how you flow
come to me and no one else
My mind is like a chemistry set
Mixing and reacting
Messes counteracting
I discover
Insolubility
Search for my identity
What’s my responsibility?
Reality?
Just wanna have serenity
Worn out positivity
But I’m not jaded
I’m periodically faded
Not easily persuaded
By the things they have created
Have never been degraded
Or hated
I don’t know what that’s like
All I know is it’s wrong
I want to be in the right!
Because love conquers ALL
No fight
In love with the light
At first sight
One thing ties us together
We are human
We are being
And breathing
That’s what I’m believing
So smile and go the extra mile

*Make your existence worthwhile
Experimenting with rhyming. Just thoughts
I'm a soul
I'm alive
One does not simply handle me
I'm a story
I'm a book
How well have you read me?
I admit
I am vain
But I am anything but shallow
I'm a catch
I am prey
I'll be the one to get away
Would it be so bad
If I just held your hand?
Or maybe touch your fingertips
And ignite
Create a glow
To warm this cold night

I think it would be fair
If you ran your fingers through my hair
Brushing it back
Memorizing, taking in every freckle and curve
How I would like that

I think it's safe to say
You touched my soul today
But to become too attached?
Instead I'll be the girl
That you might never catch
You are a monsoon
A reversal of the seasonal winds
Familiar
    and unpredictable
         and hot
I'm not prepared for you, not ready
You move too fast
Slow it down
Maybe I could teach you how?
But I reside in a very shallow sea
I’m not alone here though
And then I don't feel so bad
We want each other in two different ways
The distinctions are clear to me
Not as much to you
Assumptions can’t be made this early on
And we won’t exist long enough to possess any unit of measure
You and I are just a fleeting moment in time
A blip

But within that second we were great
*And you showed me a glimmer of life
Small talk is tedious

Ignite me with unconventional
*Just try
