She keeps songs locked away in boxes like secrets. She will take them out like postcards to help her remember the feeling of a different time, a different person by her side. She likes the one that makes her eyes close to see the lights. She smiles at the one that makes her stand up on tiptoes, the one that helps her forget she doesn’t know what to do with her hands.
The tune will carry her.
Like it did the times when voices broke like a heart. When instruments’ strings would snap and hurt.
Your lips, soft like clouds Melt into my own Despite the contact I want to be closer There's hunger in this The craving runs deep Together we are electricity With energy born in a simple stare We move like the ocean In currents and waves A secret choreography Only our bodies know Teasing and tussling My teeth close on your skin Painting you purple and red I leave imprints of me all over you To remind you that you're mine The marks are emotions personified I want you to know how I feel I like you and I love your company And a week always feels too long I could drown in the depths of your eyes They're mysterious and blue like the sea Our souls meet in these moments As I am entirely entranced by you I want to hold you close And I want to keep you safe I want to hear your hurts As well as all your dreams I am grateful to be in your life And that you're a part of mine
You search for magic that swirls around your head, encapsulated by the stories told through your eyes, finding endless possibilities as you dance on cloud nine. You smile because your loved , you laugh because your happy, you cry because life is beautiful, even through the darkest of times.
I’m here looking down on it all wrapped in a blanket a book lies next to me pages flipping themselves in the cool summer breeze inside are the sounds of life outside are the sounds of the questioning the air is filled with random notes fluttering around me like guardian angels I know why they’re here
darkness sat down next to me to keep me company we look at the flickering lights in the distance he tells me you’d do fine down there if you wanted to be a light surrounded by light but then he shifts his gaze the moonlight dancing through his being but you’d do great up there be a light where no one has dared to be and with that he left
I heard your voice thru my desperate screams So I clawed thru my ravaged soul Just to stand by your side I admired my own carnage And handed you my heart
Waiting for me today was a grapy sky, a purplish dusk over titian fields. Then a familiar autumn scent perfumed the air, the fragrant tea olive burst in orange blooms. I ambled and paused a bit, and watched the little ray of sun that lingered on the horizon. I saw an outline of my dream, a vision above the western isles. I held my breath and firmly thought. I have to find my purpose. Embrace my lows and my highs, my weaknesses and strengths, even the creeping darkness and the marvelous sunrise. I have to love life each day. With every sunset as my witness to accomplish something worthwhile.
Sunlit ridges embrace the eager traveler playful shadows dance and duck down a bottomless ocean road birds connect heaven with earth flaming wings burn to ash koi swim in fluorescent skies I stand above, a wanderer in your eye
