You stood there by the window
With a shroud of glossy light.
You spoke of joy and jubilation, of misery and woe.
Your lovely face a breath-defying sight.
I wanted so bad to hold you
Like a petal holds the dew.
And for the first time in a long time,
I ached to know it all.
Every story, every mission, every crime.
You appeared at once so giant and so small.
I ache with your passion and your allure.
You make me feel so full,
this time there may be no cure.
Maybe your kisses can remove the wool.
That has for so long covered my eyes.
So here I am my darling, dreading our goodbyes.
Reliving every moment that flew.
Absolutely crazy about you.

love pulls visions of colour
and
strikes yearning with fire
screams appreciation
with hints of adventure
yet
it leans heavily on a fist of risk
It's just a piece of cloth,
A sweat shirt you wore today.
You handed it to me because I was cold,
And your scent lingers.

It warmed me immediately

But when I tried to give it back, you didn't take it.
And I just held it to my face, breathing you in.

Now I am lying in bed, wearing nothing but that and a pair of shorts.
I know I will dream of you tonight.

You are the sun
And all of the sky.
(You are the stars
They live in your eyes.)
You are gravity, orbit, and space.
(You are matter, energy, and grace.)
You are whispers
Murmurs in darkness.
(You are resolution
A feeling of catharsis.)
You are questions
Quiet and calm.
(You are my heart
It rests in your palm.)
You are spring, summer and autumn.
(You are trees, reaching up from the bottom.)
You are water
Ocean and sea.
(You are sunrise
The only colors I see.)
You are the streets
And all of the lights.
(You are the laughter
Late into the night.)
You are the only thing I can see.
(You are consuming all of me.)
