Mar 2013
My bones seemed to have toppled over one another
Forcing me to fall to my knees
The quivering and trembling in my finger tips
Traveled a vibrating sensation to my lips
That constant thrumming inside of my arteries
Harmonizes with the pounding in my heart
Look at what you do to me in such a short amount of time
You can steal the air I breathe from my lungs
And replace it with a genuine kiss
My whole perspective on a once oblique world
Was painted over with colors from my heart and your soul
All the sensations that shoot right through me
Were shot by an arrow with hands that caress and cherish
That warming bonfire that lies within my bare chest
Was kindled by a hand that was willing to reach out to me
Never did I conceive that the haze could be lifted
Like a veil that has blocked my vision for years
I never bore the thought that it can be you and me
That I could love, be loved, and not be naive
All labeled me to be nothing but a foolish girl
With all her hopes and dreams out on cloud nine
But I consider myself not a foolish lover
But a person who can love throughout the impossible odds
I did not know this person was real
That my body was telling me something
The feelings and emotions that flow through me
Are all something considered unconditional
You lifted me out of the ashes I wept in
And told me that new life will branch out from the old
The heart-ache and weeping from constant mistakes
Is only the fertilizer for the love that will continue to grow
Your kind words and gentle hands
Keep these feelings inside alive and thriving
You water my roses with such sympathy and care
Despite all of our previous affairs
So my bones will still shake and my fingers will always tremble
When my gaze meets with yours
