oh darling this love is infinite
we've written it in the stars
and signed it in the traces of our steps
when we danced in the cold of winter
with only the night sky as our witness.

my love, i am yours forever.
my life, you are my very breath.
you are the one for whom my soul
ever does and ever shall yearn.

i envy he who sat beside God
as He sculpted your body from void
and painted His constellations
on your face and within your eyes

i love you with a love that is more than love—
our two hearts are become one
and that which binds them
can never be severed.

i have found the one
for whom my soul thirsts.
you have overfilled my heart
and all the love i spill
shall flow surely back to thee.

falling asleep without you

won't you come to fill up
the other side of this bed—
slip into my arms
as I slip off to sleep.
let me love you here now in this moment;
let us love a love to outlive eternity

fears don't fade

when there are shouting matches in my chest
your deafening whispers of i love you
are the only thing to drown out the doubts

i want you so far
i want you so much closer

these ghosts are still present in light—
i'm tired of the same old fears;
i fear that you will fear me—
they will haunt us past the night

i want to push you away
i want to pull you nearer

the voices in my head
they may tell me i'm not enough
but yours sounds so much sweeter

waiting for forever

as i lay beneath the midnight stars
for each speck of light i discern
i conjure another reason why i love you so
until the tiny lights fade
and the sun greets my weary eyes.
this practice i repeat night by night
til i may turn and awake
one morning and each morning forevermore
to the sight of you
to rejuvenate these tired eyes.

fortune telling

one day i'll write about something new,
something that isn't about a "me" or "you"

but everytime I come back to write
it's about a new laugh that makes me smile;
it's something new if only for a little while
til the phrases you inspire become trite.

until that time I write and think,
until my thoughts are my greatest foe
and I reap the withered blooms of anxieties I sow.
as you grow in my imagination I shrink.
I can picture our lives forever entwined
yet I cannot effect a reality from my mind
so further and further in these spirals I sink.

someone new

under midnight stars and autumn leaves,
with conflicted heart and goosebumped skin,
I witnessed you talk and laugh and smile,
and I knew that always
i would love you once upon a dream

escapism

knees faltering and feet failing
my steps betray me
strides carry me no further away
stationary, subjugated, gasp for air
keep running to nowhere

I have tornadoes inside me
but I can't let the pressure out
I'd rather tear myself apart
than let a single gust escape
