something beautiful
a meeting, a night of
talking in whispered
tones, "I love you"
said like a mantra,
you know it was what
I needed to hear,
but you meant it.
You write the moments of my days
Wake me in the nights
Come to me in secret silences
with assurances unspoken
quieting my inner spirit
reaching in to touch my calm
unafraid to counter my tumultuous fires
with your peaceful deep dark skies

You are the crests and valleys
of my tsunamic passion
With abandon you dive deep
to hear my truest thoughts
You see the dark green depths of my inner seas
With eyes to pause and feast
Caring that I care

I love how you still love me
Yet with inner weeping I wonder:
Why does my dive into you
Strike upon a frozen river?
Never mind!
I’ll skate upon my dreams of you
until spring thaws return
(will warmth someday burn?)
Yes, I’ll skate with free abandon
along your icy river surface
knowing below is so much more—
currents of you to explore

Someday…yes, perhaps someday
I’ll dive in deep, find more of you
Maybe someday
our brackish waters again might swirl
Together
Our estuary tides finally rise & recede
Under the same bright moon
In this someday dream eternal

I don't worship you because you are no God
but an angel whose wings reach out
your feathers just settled on my skin long
enough for me to understand there is a
rough edge to a feather,
when it scrapes past your skin
leaving you to have just a moment's taste
savoring
mourning the peaceful moment of contact
one day you sit down to pray for
heaven to come down again, closing your
eyes and never opening them
again.
Evly 4d
How oft the frothy waves at shore
Keep tryst with boulders young.
Sorrow and joy hath it borne,
Music hath it sung.

do you remember,
the day we first met,
you wore a stubborn face,

do you remember,
how we would talk and joke,
we were inseperable,

do you remember
when i held your hand
as tears streamed past your face,
eyes filled with grief,

do you remember
when you told me that
nothing will bring us apart?
i laughed,
we were so young,


oh but only if you,


r  e m e m b e r e d


but you do remember,
glowing eyes,
and a faint smile,

an extended hand,
long evenings by the pool,
echoing laughs,

but you do remember,
what should have been
a happy memory,
ended so tragically,

when you should have been,
blowing out the candles,
you were paying your respects,
at my funeral

do you remember,
as i took one last breath,
and i told you that this wasn't,
the end

did i not tell you,
that i would come back?

i've been through this before,
but this time it's not the same,
this time i can't let go

you've changed,
but not your eyes,
you've changed,
and it breaks my heart,

but when the world forgot,
when i became just a name,
you remembered.



maybe in another lifetime,
if only i had been lucky in this life,

you could have been mine,

The darkness of morning, the pitch of night, the twilight of dawn;
Always under the same sky, always on the same planet.
In the silent whistles, in the proud gazes, defiance stood tall without a thigh.
The eyes I shared my night with, now filled with tears.

I wish your hands could touch my happiness;
You'd smile warmly, and I'd breathe in the scent of your skin streaming from your hair;
Never returning the pains I once took back;
I love you so fiercely, as if I might die!

You have a rebellion against this world!
Against our coincidences in the wrong times, in wrong lives.
Defying the entire galaxy, all parallel universes,
One day, our souls will make love in perfect synchrony.

God forbid, what if I can never kiss your gaze again!
What if my hands never touch in another timeline,
Or in the deepest REM of my sleep, I can't embrace you in my dreams!
Oh my God, please don’t withhold the most beloved piece of your soul from mine!

Perhaps we've arrived too late for each other in this cycle,
Perhaps our hands will never intertwine again.
I am indebted to existences,
Your visage etched into my soul, you are my evolution.
Never lose faith in us.
I’m coming, my love, to be your eternity, to be reborn…

My sweet love,
the mirror of my soul,
the calling of my heart.

The day we meet is so sweet
in my tormented mind.
How can I feel so much love
for someone I haven't met?
But I know, in my tired heart,
that you're somewhere out there —
maybe, just maybe,
wondering if I exist.

My sweet love,
the thought of you,
of us,
makes my suffering, broken heart
quiet down for the night,
like a baby coddled by their mother.

My mind runs soft reels
of your breath mingling with mine
as we lay to rest,
your keys left near my books,
the way your voice might sound
when you're half-asleep and safe.
That kind of life —
the quiet, ordinary kind —
lulls my storm to sleep.

The mirror of my soul,
are you searching for me
in the faces of new people?

The calling of my heart:
can you sleep a little lighter,
knowing I'm waiting for your arms?

I hope this poem reaches you —
a whisper in your sleep,
so you’ll know I’m already yours.
Written for the one I haven’t met yet, but already miss.
May these words find you gently,
like a whisper in your sleep.
