indelibly marked
bruised through to the bones
let it scar you beautifully
helping you grow
teaching and changing
you aren’t alone..
wash away darkness
marking you new..
let my fingers paint a picture
let me run them over you
making ugly beautiful
in ways we could know..
let’s fall into the sun
shine brighter than ever before
letting the warmth soothe the tattered parts of your soul
as you lay your heart upon
promises that can make you whole..
anger ignites
flaming ugly to life
bringing with it strife..
snuff it out
burn it whole
there’s more to life than this madness
change up your goals..
dawning of new possibilities
imaginations taking you to novel places
new words begin to fill the spaces
rich and clear and true..
take hold of my hand
make a stand
let those dreams keep waking you
shaking you to new realms..
walk through the doors of my mind..
unwind into the love that can so easily bind
burying the white noise that owns your mind
never lose the meaning of all that is gleaming from within..
so painful it’s dangerous
the wound is poison
absorbing my heart..
lingering on
black clouds shadowing me
Insidious hands boxing me in
falling apart
broken
truths that shatter my heart..
bruised skin
battered mind
you won’t win
standing at the edge of the abyss
it’s you I miss..
Bittersweet
I feel you
I hear you
I taste you..
starting to live again
there you are
in the middle of the day
in the middle of the night
letting me know it’ll be alright..
no more sorrow
no regrets
letting go
death has lost its’ sting
my heart will sing..
making these moments last
no past to break the mood
no future to steal it away..
slowly giving in
gently learning to breathe again
raining down on me
washed anew..
you came along
like a song
singing a tune
that woke me from slumber..
though you were gone
by the end of the song
my heart was sparked
wrapping around the melodic words that linger on..
traces of you cover my heart
sending me to new places
no longer afraid to love hard..
creatively unleashing my inner being
skillfully honing the moments you’re owning
the ability to create a tune in me that didn’t exist
you are my songbird..
a melody unique to my heartbeat
lost in our song
swaying to the unknown..
don’t say a word
our silence is golden
shaping my every thought
my mind is wrought with the possibilities loving you brings..
my heart singing effortlessly
Elaborately embellished by the beauty you bring..
binding
unchanging
as natural as can be
covering outer layers
this hide is what I need..
holding
molding
loving me free..
wrapping me tight
tough yet flexible
your love - my delight..
protective
my warrior
you are my might..
no barriers between us
heart to heart we connect
skin to skin
we have grown
flesh to flesh
mine to behold
no other skin I’d rather know..
every crevice
stained with love
open vulnerable
reveling in our space..
creating and filling gaps
we’re revealing
weaving together
the tiniest of loosened threads
least they come undone..
unwilling to unravel
any part of what’s begun..
bigger than the sum of its’ parts
moments making us whole
sharing hearts
sealing the fabric of time
that has made you mine..
A habit
unaware or by choice..
My habit
chosen
hear my voice..
slow burning within
churning heart mind and soul into one..
addictive
my stimulant
keeping me high..
my depressant
for all the unknown whys..
love induced high
absorbing into my bloodstream
heart rate rising
chaos on the horizon..
you are all good feelings
all at once
adrenaline spiked..
my nightshade
cutting through me
like a sharp edged blade..
lover of my heart
magnet to my soul
what began on that
unsuspecting day takes a toll..
a simple hello was all that was told
pushing me to the depths of the unknown..
unaware without a care
to blissful to be afraid
And a life of its’ own ran away
from the home I’ve always known
creating a love story with no roots to grow..
lost a part of me that day
finding its’ way into your soul
leaving me floundering
with no where to go..
vulnerable
scared
my steps are growing me
double edged sword
my just reward..
edge of desire
let’s reach higher
don’t say a word
just lie here beside me..
syllables twist us
getting in the way
defining how we should be
what we should see..
doubting arises
hysteria crisis
questioning who we are..
mind and heart reaching out
closing up the gap of doubt
looking to feel what is real
see what is true..
clean the slate
it’s not to late
let’s speak a language all our own
find me I’m yours
just take me home..
