I live my life according to what I feel like inside
And mostly, I feel free
Unimpeded
Exempt from anything that can control, restrain, or burden me
I am an independent and uninhibited person
A nonconformist
I think for myself
I observe quietly and muster even the smallest of details
I love to learn but I always form my own opinions
I possess my own distinctive understanding of life and the world around me
And I don't allow myself to be weighed down by the troubles of every day life
I take it day by day
I am me and I am free

She is the sun
Who loves you numb
In day's ultimate
Alone and warm

Through your window
She creeps in
Paints a golden layer over your skin
Her glow kissing your face below

She is the light
That leaks through your veins
And peaks through the clouds
She'll stop your heart once
She'll start it back up again

Her fingers are rays
That touch your soft lips
She takes away your breath
And as you take small and timid sips
You slowly drink her in
She glides down your throat
She shines on your walls

The color of her aura
She is so stunning
And you are so in love

If I were to try and define love
I would probably describe it as
Looking at a person
And being swallowed by a feeling

And if I were to try and define this feeling
I would probably describe it as
*Looking at you

It was one of those really hot summer days
The kind that you can feel on every inch of your body
The kind that paint a damp coat over your skin
And it feels heavy
And if you are outside
You better at least be within
Close proximity of some form of water or another

We were on our way to the river
It felt like such a perfect day
In the most peculiar of ways
I don't think I ever stopped smiling
Not once

On the interstate
Windows down
Riding in the back of my friend's 1990 Oldsmobile
The wind is hard at my face
But feels soft on my skin
I can hear cheery music playing faintly in the background
And I feel infinite
And honest
I feel bright and lovely
Radiant and rapturous
Completely and utterly
Infinite

I feel a coolish drop of sweat
Slide down the back of my leg
Slower
Then faster
And faster
Then slow again
And I sit here and think about
How I am going to write a poem
About this later

A riveting mystery
I unravel
More and more each day
Finding myself to
Love it
More and more each day

Constant anticipation
Perpetual enticement
Relentless admiration

And ultimately as boundless
And as beautiful
As the vast expanse of
The universe
