the biggest thing i have ever read,
the most vast.
was when an old strayed friend signed the end of a letter
love always,
.
such a huge commitment,
sprawled on paper,
completely second nature.
so sure of herself
so sure of life
and so sure of love.
promising me everything
by saying almost nothing.
Love Always,
always is so long,
and love so   hard to find.
yet such a humble phrase.

i take you in.
your hands.
your smile.
your eyes.
It's hard to remember  loving anyone else.
i look at you
your puckered lips
your eyelashes
your scar traced hips
I don't dream of anyone else, awake or asleep.
you love me yearningly.
yet not overwhelmingly.
you love me wholesomely.
You smile at me like you have never seen anyone else.

I love gold skin and blue eyes
I love crooked grin and tan lines
I love stubborn, I love weak
I love the mild strain of OCD
I love the ache of your vacancy
I love the fullness when you return to me
You love me tender
I'll love you strong
Please don't stray away too long

sometimes,
on those hard nights
I go out and look real good
hoping you'll see me
and fall in love with me  again
steel tulips Dec 2013
a hollowness heavy with pain
nestled in the safety of my ribcage
my walls are thin and fragile
from the constant carving from within
hollow and weightless
as if blown thinly from delicate glass
i wait for these lovely walls
to quietly  collapse

i miss you
for more reasons
than just  
               to
                     fill
steel tulips Dec 2013
yearning arms embrace
lips receive awaited kiss
as patient hands clasp
perhaps another haiku about you
