devoted

i’ll let you drain me of all that i am.
i’ll let you use my skin as an easel.
my blood as the paint.
i’ll let you cut me apart.
use my eyes as sight seers, my lungs as the fresh air your crave.
i’ll let you run me dry,
if that’s what you asked.
if that is not utter devotion,
i’m afraid i have no definition of the word.

sitting, waiting, wishing

ill sit in the living room and watch the clock tick.
ill sink further and further into the plush of the couch,
waiting.
all good things come with time
and you are one of those things.
ill watch the seconds, hours, days, weeks, months, even years
tick by.
my smile will never fade, my hands will never fidget, my eyes will never falter.
i will wait for you,
for as long as you need me to.
you are worth the time and the effort.

i really hope you know that no matter how much time you need.. ill be there for you.

Marry Me (I am in love with you)

promised you a new love poem
every day till forever arrives,
for it will until then to
exhaust the crazy no limit ways to communicate
how my love for you consumes my
fragility, uncovering my core of strength,
that is never exposed, but for/to you,

but for/to you

my unidimensional surface
unpierced,
no one sees what you x-ray,
and I fess willingly, with ease of mind,
that my secrets are safe stored best within
the borderless country where our ven
diagrams of souls
intersect with iron & steel & titanium
ribboned lines of inviolate invisible
pure white

here I stop
lest I die of bursting,
and yet I weep
for us,

for
you,

no longer
read my poetry

Lost Indeed

Cold hugs.

I must confess
I have been writing about you...
In my hidden rhymes, I can scream.
In my lost poems, I feel seen.

I'm afraid to confess how much I feel.
I'm scared to overwhelm, to isolate, and push you away.
But these words may never find your eyes,
hiding in these lines that I will never say.

Saying that you stole my heart would be a lie.
You took so much more of what is mine...
You have my attention, my memories, and my dreams.
Fine, you have my art, my poetry, my time.
F*CK IT... keep my salvation, my future, my life.

the fear of being perceived

i’ve taken up journaling.
spilling my feelings between thin lines and smudged ink.
although, my words are not articulate enough.
i don’t describe my feelings in a way that is poetic or neat, it is only human.
who am i preforming for?
if only my soul is to read these pages,
why must i put on an act?
why must my words of melancholy, rage, and hopefulness be reworked.
a beautiful home, without a foundation.

i’ve been writing a lot and no matter what i do i can’t stop telling myself that my journal entries could be better. i go back and fix them, reword them. its strange.

a vision

in my vision i saw it clearly
our hearts became one
my hand in yours as we fell asleep
a glow emitting from where our bodies touch

the trees sing

i drove down this road today
a road that’s tainted with your smile
your laugh
your eyes.
i drove until my eyes were blurry
and my lungs were aching.
even the trees sing your name,
throwing it around on a winter breeze.
you’re everything.
you’re everywhere.
