~

beneath an autumn sky
my heart calls on yours
in midnight desperation
i ache for your touch
nights of wine and worship
still linger on my tongue
like a phantom you walk my mind
every moment i’m alone

~

- it’s not that i haven’t forgot you, it’s that i can’t remember anything without you.

pursuit

~

pick yourself up
and carry on
no matter the storms
that lie in wait ahead
carry on you must
far in the distance
against all judgement
skies are clearing
seas are calming
and the pursuit of happiness
is always worth fighting for

~

my message to 8 year old me.

icarus

~

she was all that
i had ever wanted
to be closer to her
just like icarus
blinded by desire
and without knowing
i had flown too close to the sun
the love i once thought
could save me
had burned my wings
and left me drowning at sea
gasping for air
as the waves pull me under
it was worth it all
for that moment in time
i was closest to you

cheated by time

~

there is no greater romance
than a love through words
that pour from the soul
staining endless pages in ink
there is no greater romance
than the souls cheated by time
yet stay afloat through the memories
when their hearts start to sink

on nights like these

~

there are nights
most nights in fact
when i feel truly alone
in this existence
completely and utterly
disconnected to everything
and everyone else around me
on nights like these
i stare at the stars
and they remind me of you
sometimes, just sometimes
i wonder if you feel the same
and when you gaze out
into a midnight sky
do i still cross your mind

mulberry silk

~

the smell of your hair
like a field of a million sunflowers
the touch of your skin
like mulberry silk
your lips pressed against mine
lightning crashed upon waves
honey poured from your mouth
in those nights we got lost
beneath the sheets of your bed

~

not one day has passed, that i haven’t thought of you.

god, i miss you.

~

the hardest part
about missing someone
is not in the memories
you carry closest
but the ones
you had no idea
you’d miss so much

~

- for me, it was the face you’d make anytime you had something exciting to tell me.
