You tilted my chin back,
Tucked a strand of hair behind my ear,
Kissed my lips,
And whispered,
“Love you more.”
And in that moment,
All of the anchors that’d been holding me down
Weren’t a match for the rushing waves,
The salty sea,
Or the deep ocean floor.
The large, black birds,
They crowed at each other.
And anyone who happened to hear,
Would have thought they were arguing.
But I knew,
They were crazy about each other,
And passionately in love.
Grab my fingers, and
Lace them in between the space
Between each of yours.
haiku about love
sometimes late at night,
around three in the morning or so,
i pretend that you are by my side.
i use your old pillow to wrap my arms around,
and put my ear to the cold cloth
but can’t hear your heartbeat,
a once familiar sound.
i can’t feel the rise and fall of your chest
beneath my cheek where I’ve placed my head,
or your fingers dancing
over my exposed flesh.
your warm lips don’t brush mine,
and I can’t taste your sweet breath
but in the dark of night,
when the world is fast asleep,
and I am most vulnerable,
it is at that moment where
i most want your arms around me,
keeping me safe and secure,
because though I pushed you away,
i only ever wanted you here.
find my scars,
wherever they may be;
on my wrists, where my heart should be,
and love them even more
than the beach loves the sea.
Kiss me like the tide
Marks the sand,
And guide me like the lighthouse
Helps a boat find land.
“Let’s escape.”
You whispered in the midst
Of the night when we
Should have been asleep.
I had no clue what you meant,
And thought you were crazy,
Until you brought the kitchen chairs
Into the bedroom and made a blanket fort,
Using our comforter and sheets.
You grabbed my hand,
Laced our fingers and we crawled inside.
We laid our pillows next to one another,
And I laid in your arms
With my head upon your chest.
You kissed my forehead,
Squeezed me a tad bit tighter,
Told me you loved me,
And we settled in for the night’s rest.
blanket forts are the best
Skip the coffee,
And breakfast in bed.
I’d rather you stay by my side,
And feed me with kisses instead.
Wrap me in your arms,
While under the sheet,
Smother me with love,
And I’ll be complete.
Just love me, love.
That's all I need,
Not jewels or things.
Tis on love I feed.

Just love me, love.
Show me passion.
Teach me to trust,
Teach me compassion.

Just love me, love.
Sweep me off my feet,
Carry me upstairs.
Say I'm yours to keep.

Just love me, love.
When you are blue.
I'll stroke your head,
And kiss it too.

Just love me, love.
When you are glad.
Our hearts are one,
I couldn't be sad.

Just love me, love.
When I am fat.
And wear polka dots
And a red hat.

Just love me, love.
When I am sad.
And hold my hand
All through the bad.

Just love me,love
And understand,
You are the rock,
on which I stand.

Just love me, love.
When I don't know
Who I am or
Where I should go.

Just love me, love.
That's all I need.
And your face seems
So kind, so kind...

Just love me, love.
Just love me, my love.
