-is to feel the glow of light
even in darkness

is to want now to last forever
while still anticipating
tomorrow

is to draw a future
between the cracks of your smile
is to fill myself
in the lifeline of your palm

is to color cheeks into blush
at the sight of your gaze
is to stretch a smile
into a mountain range

is to pour myself
in the indents of your ribcage

is to hear a reminder of you
every time a love song plays
is to finally understand
why they were made

is to not have fully understood
a good night of sleep
until it is spent by your side

to be with you-
is to find god in our silence
to see the holy in our touching
to say grace for this feeling
and pray for it to stay.

meeting you
was finding a pond
after years
of knowing only desert

I could be anywhere with you.

I never really finish my poems
I just stop workin on them
I could just stop here but I feel I need to tell you something

I'm not confessing to anything
Last I checked you were contesting my every move
At first I felt like we were connecting
Now it turns out you were fakin it

I remember being happy tellin the guys I was wingin it
Do you remember our first song?  Well I was singin it every morning
I pleasured watchin you yawning
Remember picnics watchin the sun dawning?

I swear girl that was the glory
But then you left,  I aint mourning
Now that I think about it we were just *****
