Row, row, rowing my boat
gently down the stream
stitching stretching seams between
parallel realities of
actualities and dreams

Allowing dreams to slip through the fingers
of my outstretched palms
asking why to the black
velvet sky wishing to the night
for an enemy bigger
than my apathy. Soon faced with
blatant disregard.
My heart on guard.

Then the most vibrant sun illuminated
My flaw- undone.
Reflecting perfection
in awe for her radiance alone.
Reasoning unification between
realities and dreams.

As she settled into the finger tips
of my welcome hands
asking how to the colors
of the universe wishing to the twilight
for a friend better
than time. Soon graced with
limitless love.
My heart high above.

No longer am I a dream chaser
For you, My Love,
are my life;
and life is
But a dream

Never have I been scared so shitless
to lose this life
to consider taking it first
before I die twice.

Dancing in your spring rain
Feeling like a summer breeze
Painting autumn trees and falling leaves.
Waiting for shoots of green to peak above
The winter's casualties.

It hurts every time
I hear your name
and I listen closely
to savor the pain.

Many voices all with something to say and yours isn't here

Or

When you're the only voice
saying what my heart won't hear?

Wine into sweat.
Urge into need.
Undressed.
Hair messed.
Bare beneath my skin.
Reveal what time won't show
and whispers can't say.

Drunk on the lies
    we dreamed
yet sleeping still

You are the star
in my sky
Shining brighter as
you soar through
my atmosphere.

A beauty for others only to wish for.

You are my sunset
My sunrise
The star in my universe
Painting my atmosphere
with vivid breath

I'm starting to believe
the ocean is much like you.
How the ocean takes yet
never hesitant to return.
Disproving blue means sad
when it gives back light
to the sky
Offering better ways of perspective.
How flowing through life comes natural
When you're born to shape the Earth.
You are ever-changing,
Yet ever consistent
and I believe
the water is much
like you.

I'm pulling my hair
out of my head
so I don't pull my heart out instead.

And like the shore relentlessly
pacing back and forth
I'm kicking myself
Being careless
with what I wish for.

Waiting
for my sunrise to unfold,
my eyes cry out
from these breaths I hold.
Using what might be my last

I kneel to scoop these shards
gently,
Still, pressing
them into your palms.

Pull my hair
Like you pull my heart
out of my chest.

Kiss me
until my walls crumble
Like the ocean relentlessly
caresses the shore.

Make me breathless.
Remind my lungs
how much they love
The taste of air.

Break my heart
in a way
I will scoop the shards
and still press them in your palms.

Love me
uncensored and recklessly.
Show me
we were made to love.

The wind guides
tree leaves
to strum
Sun beams
'cross the skin
of whomever
found comfort in the
Shade

Linger here haunting,
Pheremone desire

Like autumn leaves
Painting themselves,
Her fall
Looked so beautiful.

If I,
a canvas
And you,
a palette

You do paint me with vivid breath

Little Remains. All of what's seen- A silence
In memory of what used to be

Now reminiscing in history.


Leaving yesterday's nights was painful to do.
To turn from something both old and new.
Vision of the present faded from sight.
Goodbye, Goodnight. Awaken to a different view.


The world fell to tints and shades
smudged and overlaid- even through the sunniest days,
until summer came and dust flew with every sigh
of relief for something worth feeling the pain.


Share our last smiles as time ticks down
to reveal all the words we'd never otherwise say.
Will we carry on- anything to stay strong?
Or preserve our hearts for a different decay?

Urge Beauty
Reveal Symphonies
Sing together through mists
and Shadow the Suns

Beneath the surface
Life and Death throbs
Rising to speak
The lines
An instant before
Not one hand
Could have gained

Every heartbeat echos endlessly
within it's hollow walls
When yours isn't there to sing along

I lay my body next to yours
to caress your youthful hand
with mine as our eyes
gently close with our lullabies.
A smile takes my lips
when I wake to find
our now weathered fingers
still intertwined
through everything remembered
as a life-long dream.

From when languid skin
did suit me
and a thousand lights
whispered.

Above morning from their window
two watch every star
and only this breath is vast.

You showed me
this world where
all anyone needs is
a small orange post-it note.

Let us walk in this serenity
when the world becomes too much.
We can make this our reality-
Just for tonight

Tomorrow we'll return,
And watch the world go by.
Waiting for when we can escape-
But just for tonight.
