I find comfort in your embrace
Peace in your existence
Love
In the way you fit into my life,
Like a star to the skies
All I see is the universe
When I look into your eyes…

But as she comes along
Thundering through the midnight storm
I feel my heart throb
Fire lit burning through my soul
And her light
Passes through the blackest hole
Finds me weak
Wanting it more…and…more

First love is easy
it starts easy
and even ends easy…
the pain of losing your first love
is sweeter than the love itself
heroic pain
aching vanity

But to love again,
and to lose again
…that can break the strongest of hearts
because this time
it’s not
an innocent heart that breaks
but a healed one
a heart barely put together
by stitches
to hold together the pieces
time plastered on the cracks…

a heart choosing
to open up
knowing
it may never fully heal again!

four stories high
three stories in
two hearts melting
one too many kisses
♾ possibilities

Talk to me in a nicer tone he said
I’ve heard you speak to strangers
The love you show, the kindness
Is all I ask for yourself

I burned your letters
and finally
felt the warmth of your words.

I want the stranger in my bed
to know the stranger in my head
the stranger in my heart is strange
i'm a stranger to my soul

I write because...
I can bleed onto something pure
with no judgment or shame,
it does not seek to heal my wounds
nor does it yearn to wipe my tears
it accepts my flaws and imperfections
and allows me to paint my sorrows
to say my words
to feel my pain.

At the end, it is changed forever
no longer pure
no longer blank,
it carries the burdens of my world
with no guilt
with no judgment
with no shame.
And so I write...
