She twirls around the room
in a silky blue dress.
As if she were a ballerina
in a wooden music box.
Preforming the melody
inside her heart.
As the bewitching moonlight
shines upon her
making her as bright as the sun.
It reflects on her chestnut hair
that gently caresses her shoulders.
So blinding
but leaving you with the feeling of wanting more.
She smiles so brightly
that it warms the room.
Melting all the walls
you once put up.
As if she were a magician.
As if she could read your mind.
She whispers under her breath
so low that you cant hear.
You try to read her lips.
Cherry colored lips
They mouthed the words
you wanted to hear the most.
But before you could figure out the last word.
You wake up
and realized
It was all just a dream.
Just a beautiful dream.

there's this feeling
of me being
constantly
on the verge
of
something.

i'm not sure what.
or why.

i feel as though,
simultaneously
i'm clinging onto something
while feeling completely disconnected,

from that thing.  

i'm lost.

there's this ledge
and i'm trying to tighten my grip.
sweat builds.

i'm slipping.

i don't think i've ever been in a place
in myself
where i've felt wanted

i feel kind of dark
my eyes are burning
i'm not sure what to think

sorry i exist
i'll go

-j.p.

you do not understand the power you have
your eyes make me weak at the knees
your hands hold me together
and your love keeps me sane

when you look at me i can see the sky
blue and dazzling
beautiful and bright

you are so soft and strong
standing tall to keep me safe

you don’t understand the power you have
i love you

my heart is yours
and i know this is true
your eyes meet with mine
i have heard that the sky is the limit

with love
there is no limit
so why do you hold the sky in your eyes?
