Something about you
draws me in
from higher depths
I sway in disguise
to the pulse of 90s music videos
displaying on the screen
remembering the pulse
of my heart
as I look upon your bright face
vibrant with taste
or concentration
pouring coffee
precisely
right after the buzzer beeps
your new haircut strenuously
framing the corners of your
maleness
each strand a cut
into the interworking of
your hazardous blue eyes
rimmed in ribbon spit
a sci-fi adventure
daring to quit but
it always gets better
somehow
somewhere
deep in these depths
I no longer despair
but three plump days
stand in my way
after the promotion
after your life
getting back into motion
will you remember me
will you miss me
in any way
on hallows eve
like the brush of a sleeve
or the bunch of tight buttons
securing so fast my feeling that
I ache or admire
bind or perspire
muck in the mire
just to hear your handsome voice
as cheerful as sunbeams
cascading up and down my spine
like the thieves of dreams
bounding inside so merrily
hopeful for your attention

I am but a Monster...
Monsters fall in love too
And, in fact, this Monster
has fallen deeply for you

You were up on stage, singing the blues. I was in the middle of the crowd, singing along.

Every time you glanced in my direction, I liked to think I caught your eye, and every time you glanced in my direction, my breath hitched.



I fell in love.

He lies atop her in the darkness
Passion leaves them beautiful, breathless
A bead of sweat falls from his brow
Following the curve of her arm
Reflecting the light from down the hall
The sparkling droplet catches her eye, she sighs
Bodies entwined, a Lord & his Lady,
Rememberings of a shakespearean dream
Timeless sonnets spun from a golden spire
Their love is a requiem to other worlds
A lost age, all but forgotten
The blood roils in her veins, curling her toes
She meets his gaze and feels her pulse begin to rise
A smile playing on her lips, hand caressing his cheek,
Enflamed by the magic of their desire
They fly on waxen wings
Ever closer toward the heat
Unfettered by proximity
Two hearts make one
Bright and burning like the Sun

With the stars in our eyes,
we jumped-
and as we leaped off that
rocky cliff of our past together,
our hearts began to beat
faster and faster.
And while falling,
our star-like eyes grew
bigger and bigger
for each other.
And as we hit the clear,
crystal water in the gorge,
we became a tangled
mess of happiness.

When distance does not matter
When time does not matter
When age does not matter
When we talk it seems like forever

When the heart beats faster
When the cars beside us move faster
When the daylight comes faster
When we talk it seems like forever

Her heart is made of something
that is not of this world,
perhaps-
it is supernatural with special powers,
because even though
she's been hurt so many times,
she continues to love
wholeheartedly.

You’re my heaven,
you’re my rescue,
you’re the love of my life
and you’ve become all of these
wonderful things,
effortlessly.

She fell in love with her new home,
she fell in love with her new home town,
she fell in love with her new friends.

And then she fell apart,
and so did her love for all of her new possessions.
She soon fell into a
swindling depression.

She fell on her face,
and layed there a while,
feeling her whole life falling apart.

But then,
she was picked up-
he was smiling down at her
and he lifted her to her feet.

She fell for his smile;
sweet and genuine.
She fell for his eyes;
dreamy and beautiful

And then she fell for him;
perfect in everyway.

At that moment-
she stopped falling.

And finally flew.
