The rhythm of my longing
Makes the cascading words turn into poems
Following the erratic beating of my heart

whenever my thoughts drift off
and finding my Muse in the darkness
Alone and fierce
holding every desire I have
without even knowing

Biting my lip now reminds me
Are those words ever for me
Or do I just wish them to be?
Is there ever a daydream of what ifs?
And a longing in return for me?

Will my heart ever be held
in the strong embrace I desire
or will it all just disappear
Like the darkness is slowly melting
for the dawn that pushes on

My soul keeps whispering to you
through every song I play
but are you listening?

The night makes me want you
to lift up the sheets and slide in next to you
Feel the heaviness of your arm when it sneaks around me
and guides me closer to you
To feel your warm steady beat against my fingertips
and the soft brush of your breath in my hair
when we lie entwined in the darkness
I need nothing more then to be held by you
Knowing you’re real and my entire world

I’m never the one for fancy words
Nor the one for double meanings
But I’m ever the one carrying my heart on my sleeve
Throwing myself into love like a desperate soul
My heart hungers for a warm place
And a safe home to hide away
But I’ll lock it away
Safe and lonely behind walls
and try not to wear it on my sleeve anymore

The darkness of the night
embraces me
Tangling my legs with the sheets
that hunger to tangle with yours
Hands roaming the empty bed
searching for the warmth only you can bring

Blinking up at the night sky
With all it’s stars mocking back at me
and the moon smirking
Because they can look down upon your beautiful sleeping frame
And whisper how lovely you are

Oh how I envy their view
It’s me that wants to lay my eyes on you
the moment they open
And my lips that want to whisper
sweet nothings into your skin
It’s my soul that wants to brush against yours
and sigh with content because it finally feels whole

Dreaming of your fingers caressing my body

I wake up to your lips ghosting over my skin

making me feel alive and cherished

My lips search sleepily for yours

and find the warmth in your kiss

I feel your eyes roam over every inch of my soul

seeing right through all my walls

making me feel fragile and bare

Biting my lip I feel your hands holding me, lifting me

keeping me together and letting me shatter around you

With locking gazes we melt into one

pouring every heartbeat I have into you

finally feeling complete with you in my arms

And I hunt for that rare lazy smile

in every stroke along your skin

and every kiss I place onto your soul

That smile so rarely given is my personal high

brightening my darkest of days

and loneliest of moments

mine

I’ve watched the clear night sky
while driving home
Knowing you might be watching the same sky
Our gaze possibly crossing the same spot
from different parts of this planet
How I would place a soft kiss
on those beautiful lips
Gazing in your eyes
holding a soul that whispers to mine
For now I’m sending the stars across the sky
to keep you company in your dark night

Flushed skin
from nightmares within
Curled up into a ball
Shaking the demons from my brain
Hunger for you
to help me chase them away
To take hold of me
and make me forget
Lay your hands on me
and hunt them with kisses
along my skin
Just lay here with me
and make me feel real

Learn to read between my lines

and you’ll capture my soul

Waking from a nightmare
I want to hide in your arms
but can’t find you beside me
Closing my eyes
and wish for your soothing words
I lie in the dark
Trying to find comfort
Knowing you’re under the same stars
looking up at the same moon
Our forever companion
But still worlds apart
