as i’m lying down in the dewy midnight grass
i can’t help but notice
that the moon tonight makes me unbearably homesick for your eyes—

i see you in the way it glows
how it radiates with pureness and beauty

the first time my eyes had the pleasure of falling upon the sight of her, the world slowed and time stopped
a disturbance in the cosmos

a stranger once told me that someone told them that it is a fact that all the stars in space outnumber every sound and word produced by every human that has ever lived, ever.
i know that might make you feel pretty small, and as much as i hope you feel as lovely as you really are, you are probably lying alone tonight, curled in a soggy mess of tissues and blankets, wishing that your breathing will slow to a peaceful stop.
i would give anything to let you know that you are the reason the millennium’s worth of stars shine so bright. you are the beauty of wind and the rustling of leaves, and when a rainstorm is raging through the night, i hope you think of me when you awake to the chimes in your open window making the soothing melody that cradles you back to the contentment of sleep.

your breath is a storm, tracing lightning bolts down my neck and shaking me to the core as if thunder was living vicariously through your words

one day you will die and be buried into the earth and be the thing that fertilizes a seed to grow into a beautiful patch of flowers.

you are not insignificant.

the space in between

attempting to hold all that exists in that place

we are almost touching

our mouths hover very close

this thing that we are creating

it is forever on our tongues

there is something within you that causes me to just sigh my breath and wonder

my eyelids fall

the air that passes between us is electric and alive even though we believe we are not

fluid and graceful

the universe and all it’s particles are aflame

we are surrounded

the first atoms to spring hot from this small void

whispered us their secret

no one else knows this

only you and i

the big bang in reverse:
illuminating as we grow younger and warmer
agitated
dense
lights flipping on
flashing
going dark
blinking in and out
reconfiguring

cast your rays upon me and help me hold on

the binary stars
orbiting bodies
burning and immense
the first light occurs across the service of your faint complexion,
your golden hair glowing

this is happening now and i swear to you i will not turn away

when the rest of our physical being is washed and withered away this light that once shone upon us will still illuminate

time is here
this has happened

the atomic weight of love

why do we fear our demons if we are the ones who create them?

the demons we create tend to manifest over time to something that is uncontrollable to it’s creator

so why do we create the demons in the first place? to challenge ourselves? to push our limits?

creating these things act as the toe that tests the water, the tip of your tongue to a hot cup of coffee.
