Shedding Skin
She visited me wearing new skin. Finally revealing that she was afraid to fall. Throughout life we're all confronted With moments like this at some point. At first, I didn't recognize her. Shades of her old skin peeking through. She coiled into my arms. Finding the warmth of my chest. The memories that I tried to block out Welcomed her. No longer neurotic, but...

The Valley of Your Smile
My fingers are a boat, Navigating the river of your skin. Through the bog & long blades of grass, I picked for you a bush of roses. In the hopes of making you smile, Wandering away with thoughts of you. The kind of peace brought soon as I see your face. Though the sun has yet to rise I’ve sunk down in the pores...

First Contact
It's been so many nights I've scrolled down my contact list & Highlighted your name. So many nights you've crossed My mind and never left. Wherever you call home Wherever I call home. Places I thought we'd never go Desperate finding our way back. You're name a direct reflection Of the sun, My finger an eclipse. Unknown to the philosophers And professors who study science. It's been so many...

Mid-Sneeze
I've never had anyone look At me the way that you do. The first time I saw it, I tried To catch it but missed. Much like a shooting star Fast & fleeting. I remember the look on your face, The pieces of gold shone by the light. Your eyes, they do something to me In my collective thought. They break down an insane amount Of...

Volcanic Wildfire
Now I am certain of nothing But your existence, in chaotic disbelief. The scurry of feet patter down the path Of the avenue & city blocks downtown. As beautiful as you are dangerous, Now open to the world around you. A fiery ship intentionally dragging it’s Anchor in obsession. Not knowing how or when to stop. The smog of smoke eases its way down. We...

California King
California King My bed may not be as large As California or have a blanket As deep as the ocean. But it’s comfy and shares The same view as if we were there. When I am asleep with you, Everything becomes ideal. One of the best feelings the universe Could bestow. To discover a slice of heaven beside you. A spoon finding it’s way To the big...

Paying Attention
A lot of the time It’s not easy, Finding someone that can Finish your sentence before You can finish your thought. Someone that appreciates the things You care about. To breathe life into you When everything else feels Exhausting. A lot of the time Vocal gets exhausting & The physical is just that. Sometimes, You run out of words. A mantra that only the soul understands & heals with no...

Time Passes
When I dream of you I dream of the times we travel To other worldly dimensions. A familiar touch to otherwise Unfamiliar territory. You calm me in the sense of worship. The catalyst of Buddha Listening to Nirvana grunge rock & eating pop rocks. If by some reason we get lost, I’ll wait for you. With perfect faith that you’ll come back. No matter where you wander...

Magnetism
We were but strikes of lightening, sealed in a glass jar Fumbling about with nowhere to go. Exhausted, we conducted ourselves With a slight curb of enthusiasm. Sprung to life with the slightest touch Electric current twirling forward, then back. Sparks igniting beneath our toes Traces of where we've been crackled. Sizzled in a flash by the dark spot of glass. We were irresponsible...

Fail In Love
She was a traveling soul. The galaxy resting above her nose. I'd sit & stare. Wondering where the stars would go next. Both young & in love I let go. Tracing together swirls of color. The planets all together aligned. Definitely in love with no where to fall. It hurt when she'd look away. I'd lie to myself everytime. A traveling soul with crescent eyes. Where...

Digging
I've dug my words beneath Your skin & found layer after layer of why your eyes Often drift over a sea of thought. It's quite beautiful there, Your own private getaway Where you can dig your toes In the sand and sit in peace. You've learned to let go & Not look back. I've dug and found at your feet The taste of true expectation. I've placed...

Love of My Life
In today’s world it’s easy to lose track of time & otherwise get caught up in what’s going on. So many families split up, so many loved ones Lose track of who they are. Why they came together. Divorcing a memory they can never truly run away from. In today’s world it’s a blessing to know you. To get facial...

Label Everything
Over the course of a minute, Nonetheless a single hour. We say a lot of things. Some we mean, some we don’t. Although sometimes meaningful, It’s the things we don’t that are most Pivotal. Not everything we think is meant to be Said aloud. The silence in-between hugs The silence between arguments. We hoop & we holler, but at some point This urge to label everything Must cease. We...

Freely
There are over a million things To do in the name of pleasure. Over a million more that involves Company. The person I could be, The person I’d love to be, Over a million things that could go wrong. This thought a wave pattern found In an ocean of sheets, The shore of the mattress bare. The meeting of my fingers interlocked With yours, The earth rotates...

Sunburnt
She sprawled out across the sky, bored, Perfectly sun-kissed. From a distance she could fit In my hands. Day, the name we hold dearest Day, the name of the memory I placed her above all else. I too, lay sprawled out, beneath her. The intensity of how she makes me feel, A region I know well, sweltered & swollen, Without walls or halls to...
