All these feelings
scream inside of me
Clawing their way out
Ripping through me
and spilling on to the page
Ink black and harsh
Staining the pristine white
and darkening the fibres
Yet my mouth won’t move
my voice as silent as ever
Not speaking
of all these thoughts
That are fighting
for a right to be
To exist and make me
more
different
whole
And I wish
you can read
between the lines
and find me hiding there
waiting for you
to finally see me
3 am finds my thoughts
Drifting over every part of you
Sleepless and lonely
The image of you in my mind
Comforts me
And keeps me company
Far away
My mind crosses the distance
Until there’s nothing between us
But a whisper of words
A knowing deep inside me
That you’re closer to me
Then anyone
Ever was
In times of change
I seek within me
the peace and quiet
I need
Finding turmoil
and confusion
I regress
into myself
Knowing with every change
however confusing
and out of control
There will always be me
changed, new
and ready
to take the next shaky step
and letting life take me
wherever it needs to go
Can you find my heart
underneath it all?
Can you take it with you
and hide it away?
Poised over me
I want to read
the passion
of your lust filled eyes
Leaving your soul
open and bare
vulnerable and fierce
To connect on a level
beyond the physical
and deeper
than any word
could describe
Carrying away the summer
on geese’s wings
I hear them calling
for the warmth they miss
Chasing through the skies
I want to follow them
on the breath of autumn
To places filled with love
Their sound one of longing
and change
But I’d miss the fiery coat
that this land has dressed itself in
and the gentle caress
of the fireplace
licking at my skin
Staying or leaving
the duality within
My fascination for you
doesn’t stop nor start
with how you look
It’s your soul
whispering to me
Your enticing mind
that seduces me
more than anything
Close to you
is what I desire
not only physical
but even more so
our souls touching
carefully curling around each other
knowing how special this is
whatever made us connect
will be forever the beautiful gift
that life gave me
and I’ll cherish it
no matter what happens
Here I lay my heart
open and vulnerable
see me as a lover
a friend, a confidant
Treat it with care
like I would yours
Hold it close to mine
because I know the value
of the gift your given me
Vulnerability
Open and exposed
will I ever find my peace within myself?
will I find the tranquility of life
from every eb and flow
from one heartbeat to the next
Will my search always reach inside me
and find the questions I’ll always ask
Am I alone in my search
or is every other soul
searching the same thing
without knowing it from eachother
The curve of your smile
drips with sin
I want to lick from your lips
The promises held
in the glint of your eyes
Makes me catch my breath
without being touched
Did your feet fall here
On this street?
Did your eyes touch these sights
Unknowing I’d be seeing them too?
Did your warm breath
form clouds into this sky
Which breezes against my skin
as I pass from street to street
Did your hands cover mine
on the railing
Time and worlds apart
but closer to me than anyone
Fragile and Strong
