I miss you.
I miss the shallow bowls that are your dimples when you smile just so.
I miss the concave convexities of your chest where my head fits perfectly.
I miss the way your skin smells when I press my face against it.
I miss the curves of your lips at the edges when you're about to laugh.
I miss the smoothness of your shoulders and my favorite place to kiss.
I miss your holocaust hips and how I could just grip them so easily.
I miss the shapes we made when we were entangled together in an infinite bond.
I miss the warmth of your body at my back or against my chest.
I miss your mouth and tongue and the wonders you committed with ease.
I miss the calming timbre of your voice and the sparkles of your laugh.
I miss the galaxies in your eyes and the stardust in your soul.
I want to lie atop your chest and feel your words vibrating through my skin and out into the universe.
I miss you.
There's a piece of me missing.
I gave it to you.
My heart is divided into equal parts:
One perfect, one broken.
How can that be?
How did you fix it completely
Yet tear it apart
When we parted?
The look on your face
When the bus came to take me away
I'm sure mine looked the same.
The sorrow I felt
Ran down my cheeks for hours
And the downpour began anew
Each time it stopped
For even a moment.
And you felt the same.
The best parts of me
Live with you
So that must be why nothing feels
Quite right
Without you.
You took me away
When we parted.
Did I take you?
My Wanderer
I would travel worlds for you
A thing already in my dreams
But I would share my dreams with you
If you but asked.
You are my new dream
Filling days and dusks
With starlight of your soul.
Your scent
Or memory of it
Clings comfortably to my skin
And touch of you
Remembered on my fingertips
And in mind's eye
The shape of limbs and angles
All entangled and entwined
A perfect puzzle.
You evoke a light in me
A warmth unlike one ever known
You hold my soul.
Constant Constellations
A star-crossed love. We knew it would end, but still, it was written in the stars.
Our stars.
We never expected to feel so much so quickly. I thought a kiss was just a kiss--but we were drawn together like moths to a flame; our soulsparks beckoning, reaching until at last they touched and enveloped us in light.
Starlight.
I miss you already, when your arms curl around my waist and your breath sighs steadily against the back of my neck. When you smile at me from across the room, and the way your pale skin looks in the moonlight. Like marble, chiseled gently into curves and edges that are not cold and hard, but warm and fluid and rising and falling.
Things will be different. We know. There is so little time left and it was fate that brought us together and fate that tears us apart. Things happen for a reason, they say. Things happen, I say. Time is relative, they also say. It's true.
We tripped and fell into some semblance of love that was more real than some loves that have lasted over lifetimes. Somehow, we helped each other up. One to lean on when the other needed to lean. Exactly what we both needed at exactly the right time.
Hold me closer before you have to let go.
We will meet again... but things will be different.
I'll never forget our moments, frozen in time, your eyes reflecting starlight and the moonlight of your skin. Our moments are marked in the stars.
Our stars.
Water Fall
She let
The gentle breeze of wind
Wash over her skin
Like the hands of a tender lover
Lighter than air
And softer than
Water
In its sweetest state.
She sat
Pondering from afar
As she glanced out of the window
Wandering
The distance between
A heart and its soul
When the bond has been
Broken
Or never existed
In the first place.
She breathed
In two breaths
Into breadth of
Inhaling
And drowned in the air
That had seeped in
Invited
Beneath damaged skin
Invading
And it rained
And she remembered.
Fail Try
His smiles
Send daggers of pain lancing
Through my skin
And into my veins
A dulled pain
But pain nonetheless.
A guess
As to why my dearest friend
Can strike me with a glance
Of sparkling eyes.
No surprise
I've fallen in love again.
"Like a sister," he says;
"That's how much I love you."
What mistake do I make
Or is it a strength?
They never think of me as girl
But rather friend
And not together
In a way unprecedented.
He meant it
In the sweetest way
But don't you know
That sugar can kill?
Ladder to the Moon
One night, the moon, it called to me.
It sang of stars and dark of night
Of solitude
Not loneliness.
Winter sighs and wings of light,
It called to me.
One night, I answered, silently.
I knew the moon had left a right
To find my voice
In emptiness.
Shining skies and heart's delight.
Yet silently.
The moon, it reached to me below
With moonbeams' rays
In ladder shape
Inviting to ascend.
Then intuition bade me, go
To brighter days
Of moonlight's haze
And broken souls to mend.
I climbed to stars and sighs of night
To winter wings and dark of light
To solitude and shining skies.
All this I found through ladder's rise
And saw with moonbeam's eyes.
