"Yeah, i had a pretty normal childhood"

You used to beg your mother to let you wash the dishes
Because it was the only way you could warm up your hands.
I hate doing the dishes but frostbite is worse

I’ve always wanted the mountains
The cold, French love, and fresh snow
Rain, writing as my passion, pale and
On my own

You’ve always wanted the warm beach
The rays of sunshine, Spanish romance,
The sand between your toes, with a
Family and God by your side

I’ve imagined a family, as I’ve gotten older
I’ve imagined warmth and people
I’ve learned to be faithful and to love
A romance of a new language, waves
Crashing into me with more force than
I can stand

Your dreams became mine, my dreams became
Your lips on me forever. Rings that
Symbolize more than pride and wealth
Children that look like you
Warmth in the life that has only known the cold
A future with you

The air is cold
The dirt is too
But the bench is warm
When I'm sitting next to you

Waking up finding the cold
wrap around me like a ghost
Grabbing me tight holding me
in his grip
Trying to warm and break free
It reminds me to think and
remember what I know
It's only in my thoughts
think warm think warm
It's then I begin to feel
the heat and warm I do
No thanks to you

Love is sometimes near.
As near as hugs yet still trying to get closer.

Love is sometimes special.
It's discovering new things and embrace them.

Love is sometimes warm.

But some other times,
Love is far.
Sometimes it's untouchable nor reachable.
But you won't feel the distance.

Love is basic.
Sometimes it's the same old things that happen continuously.
But you cherish it anyway.

Love is cold.
Sometimes it's much colder,
And yet you can feel her warmth.

Because,
Love is there.
Every single day.
Every single night.
Every second.
Every blink of an eye.
because love contradicts

"Beautiful" he whispered so softly

With a look so soft yet so hungry

And with touches warm as the sun

She suddenly felt free
they looked in my eyes and told me i was beautiful in my lowest hour

Nakedly bottled.
Capturing bursting seasons
here and now.

Life, delicate in its notes,  
the top notes,
lithe as youth,
citrus and bloom,  
ever briefly,
recondite pleasure,
a suppliance of time
a rush that fades away.  

Heart notes,
the flesh of our days, unfold—  
warm spices, florals, deeper and continues to exude as winter winds careless breath.

In the middle years, the scent sits and blares and mellows—a steady pulse of sandalwood and musk.  

Sultry as the scent may have lingered,
flirtatious colors in the breeze’s hair
the base notes come,
the earthier tones,  
amber and resin,
heavier on the air,  
decays a final wisp
until faint on the skin.

A memory is born.

Sun
The sun, It's bright
And warm
But like you,
It's out of my reach

Coldness resides in my veins,
and no amount of heat can keep me warm
My body is craving his embrace,
to revel in the warmth of his touch

In times before, I brushed against death
Different place and time, longing for another
Fractals of horrible thoughts infinite in repetition
But thankfully, she was next

I look back at him, not sure of who he is
So different and chained never to be free
Hell-bent on self destruction and isolation
I can't believe that this was me

Scars don't fade, but I take a breath
Different country, different day, I found my other
Euphoria on repetition through my brain
I am thankful that she is next to me
Thank you, my Destiny
Been awhile since I wrote anything here. Life is crazy, but I am blessed that I have my Destiny.
