Pleasant nap time
Windows shining through
The filtered sun right amount
Please stand still
Like a broken clock
I wish it didn’t count

What’s the big deal?
Those who obsess
Over the cruelest thing
And continue to address
All the problems it brings
Why even bother?
With that grueling temptation
That scars you so
resulting in a lifetime of medication
Who wants that?
Hurt set so deep
Forever a bleeding memory
Intruding on those nights hollow of sleep
Is it really worth it?
The sort of warmth you may feel
Although fleeting-
May it be real
May it be a memory worth keeping
What’s the reason?
For letting oneself fall
Right on their knees-
Becoming so small
As  light as the breeze
But maybe?
They might not want it at all-
Those pesky butterflies,
That siren call
Bringing your soul to life
Is it forced?
The speed of their heart
The feel, that warmth-
The pain of being torn apart
Why do it?
All one can ask for-
Is a companion in life
Life?
****** be the people-
Fate carries on no matter what
And love?
Always demands an encore!

The universe out there
grows far beyond our reach
every second, every breath,
every step, and every minute
of our counting days.
In those little moments,
stars are born, planets die,
galaxies stretch even further,
and the skies stay blue as the world
beyond grows farther than we can
ever comprehend.

Yet, somehow, the world
seems to stop, and hold its breaths,
as it narrows itself down
to you. Your wondrous spirit,
debilitating mind, and your kind,
kind heart.

Though the world may be expanding, growing ever far and wide. You're a world within this world, unbound by time, endless.

If you ever ask me
how I really feel about you,
I’ll say that 

even though we’re hundreds miles apart
I can still feel your fingertips
wander through the lining of my skin
and the warmth of your lips follow in cadence

I’ll say that 
I fall asleep thinking about you
and wake with you being my first thought

That’s how I feel,
I feel you all the time,
all over.
