I think that I'd be good for you, and you'd be good for me.
I think that we compliment each other,
we contrast in a way that makes our opposites vivid
and melt in a way that makes our similarities swirl together.
Our minds are both high, floating and realizing the depths of the universe, but
the strings tied from our minds to the core of the Earth have not been broken yet.
I feel things in a way that you comprehend, and
our broken pieces fit together like a puzzle, intricate and sweet.
The sight of your body starts a fire, the hot flames grazing my skin,
turning me red but never burning.
I think that I'd be good for you, and you'd be good for me,
because even though you have your woes, and I have my secrets,
we'd be happy.
I'd make you smile, you'd make me laugh. And
we would fall asleep under the night sky, watching the cosmos swirl and flicker,
comparing the sight to emotions in our hearts.

I was near you today, if only for a moment.

And today I felt the wrinkles of worn fingers slide slowly across my heart
as a chest swelled faster than the lake we sit by while the rain pours down.
I have seen the soft curve of a shoulder falling slowly like snow on the calmest winter day,
and give way to embracing arms that bend like roads in the rolling hills at sunset.
The horizon is lovely.
I have seen wind kiss pink onto cheeks and blush as it runs away
and escapes through hair sitting, flowing down a broadened back.
I heard a song as a soul danced sweetly behind a smile,
each curve in each lip spilling music so serene.
And sunlight dancing with the colors of skin glowing brightly,
each scar sharing stories, each freckle a divine masterpiece crafted
slowly, delicately, and put quietly into place.
I felt a glow as calm as summer twilight, lit up with fireflies shining from each pore.
I felt a love that felt like home

I was near you today, if only for a moment.

I open the front door
while the autumn breeze
trickles in,
as I lay
with my face against that
faded yellow pillow case.

I watch
as the snow floats
off of the tree
and hovers in the air.

Look, how the leaves
dance on their branches.
They shine
they laugh
and settle back to sleep.
