I used a black sharpie to write a love poem on your arm
Hoping the ink would sink into depths causing little to no harm
That the rough words may permeate through your tough skin
And the permanence may prove that forever starts from within
That the black is dark enough to hide all your scars from being used
And that my words are evidence and proof of my love for you

So let that ink sink as deep as it might
My words peirce your soul without a fight
My sharpie art fill you with awe and an imaginative spark
Be inspired by my loving words and the permanent scar they leave on your heart
You may forget my face, you may forget my name but **never forget where my love made its mark

We are of the ocean
salt water green, lime and seaweed
clinging and threaded, verily suspended
in the far off edges, ebbing unseen
steeped in luminous moons, impossibly colored
a darkness, plumbing ageless depths of sea
strung with opulent pearls, swallowed by fields of sand
a light discovered in the shoal shimmering lands.

My hands feel empty without yours.

Laying in these empty sheets,

& I swear I can still feel your heartbeat.

I miss you, i miss you, I miss you.

Your bright blue eyes,
Shined bright in the midnight sky.
I could feel your heart beat as I lay on your chest,
Not knowing what would happen next.
You sit up, run your fingers through my hair,
And gave me a sensational kiss, and said you loved me
I knew then that you really did care.
I forgot about all my previous scars,
As we continued to look at the stars.
I thought I knew what love was before,
But now I realize,
There was something else in store.

its been six months
since you said you no longer loved me

its been five months
since you said one more kiss couldn't hurt

its been four months
since we last spoke of hope and truth

its been three months
since you began moving on*

its been two months
since you said you would call

its been a month
since i learned of your poisoned heart


& yet i've spent every night closing my eyes
                 only to dream of your blue ones
