It shimmers as the light hits it
Then worry fills my mind
What if they notice
The one sparkle my lips left behind
Andrew Ewen Mar 2018
I am a firm believer that beauty on the inside, is more important than beauty on the outside.
I don't just want to see your bare body, I want to see you bare your soul.
I don't just want to have ***, I want to make love.
I want you to feel comfortable and to talk to me about anything and everything.
I want us to feel safe in each others arms and forget about our worries.

I hope to make you feel confident about your own insecurities.
To show you how special I think you truly are.
I want our hearts to race when we see each other and our eyes to sparkle.
I want you to look into my eyes, so you can see how much I love you.
Am I asking too much, or is that exactly what love should feel like?

When we go through rough waters, I want us to be each others anchor.
Knowing that our love and support for each other, can get us through anything.
You may be beautiful on the outside, but it's the compassion in your heart and the beauty in your soul, that makes me want to spend my life with you.

the moon glistened
on your eyes. .
a glow appeared
on your hand
when we touched

I looked into
your sparkling eyes.
they waved
like the moon
on the river.

our hands held
in front of
the moon.
the night darkened
and stars brighten.

Tell me that it's love that i'm feeling.
if it's not I fear my heart can't take much more.
I can't take my eyes off you,
yet i know the reason I won't leave is in your eyes.

I know it's love that I'm feeling,
even though we haven't been together in so long.
Your eyes still sparkle the same,
like watching a meteor shower

I'm caught in awe.

I swear you've never looked so good
so much better than anyone should,
after they tore away my heart.
I can't take my eyes away from you still.

If I survive another night,
I know that I can get over you.
I once had that lovin' feeling from you,
but now I'm gone still dreaming...

still dreaming of those meteor showers.

Tomorrow breaks along the horizon
But its faraway, still
There’s time for the darkness to grow
But oh what light it holds.

It’s a wide world we live in
The stars in the sky
Painted with the permanence of impermanence
Blot out the unforgiving,
Unfeeling
Nature that holds them in place.

But they’re just projected fossils
On a screen that floats above our heads.
Their sparkle only a reminder of their struggle
To live until the sunlight fades again.

Tomorrow grows stronger
Waves break along the shore of my mind.
The ocean is vast,
But float long enough,
I’ve come to realize,
And you’ll always find land.

I used to only use the stars to navigate
The harsh light of the sun
Burning away the map they set out for me.

Now I grit my teeth and welcome it
It doesn’t burn as much anymore.

Nobody understands, really
Why I obsess over the big blue body
Why I ache each and every day/month/year I am away from it
The waves crash onto the shore, much like the thoughts in my mind
She ***** people in and they enjoy her, but cannot seem to handle her bad weather
You see,
When the waves engulf me
I am purified
When I get thrown around, and salt enters my throat and my eyes and I can barely breathe
I am momentarily freed
And I enter a different universe
I guess
I find comfort knowing
The ocean
Is much like me
I will always believe nature has healing powers,, especially the ocean. She’s alive in more ways than one.

I was wondering
What if I frame
A firefly in a jar
Would it still be,
for kids,
a little star...?
Crystal Freda Sep 2017
Giant star
in the twilight sky.
Galaxies far
and sparkles up high.
Dazzling on
a fresh, splashing pond.
Demonstrating upon
the light beyond.
