Intensity

The chaos in my heart
Won’t allow for anything less
Than feeling love amplified
Heightened, magnified, buzzing
Intensity to the extreme
To care for is to cherish
To want is to yearn for
To miss is to crave
I don’t love, I consume
I encapsulate and devour
I envelope and obsess
My soul cannot bear the thought
Of living without love

Fleeting Moment, Forever Felt

A fleeting glance into a dream
A moment so pure and so bright
Two energies intertwined
Arms wrapped around bodies
A mere physical show
Of a melding of souls
Roots of our
Past, present, and future
Snake together through our fingertips
Almost to tell the universe we exist
Pressed into each other
We share this experience

Sounds like Candy

I love you
Sounds like candy
When it rolls off your tongue
So sweet
It's bound to fill my mouth
With cavities

I imagine you talking to me
I go word by word
Visualizing the eye contact
Dreaming of the way
Your voice sounds

I listen to your audio messages
Basking in the bliss
Smiling like the first time I heard them
Euphoric in the way
I can hear your smile
When you speak

I pop your words
Like sugar pills

The Echo Returns Not

The stars dance across the sky
A nightly recital of spinning and whirling
They’re in the spotlight here
But I know they’re invisible to him
Playing hide-and-go-seek offstage
I scream his name to the cosmos
In some sort of harrowed cry
Or desolate plea for redress
It comes out raspy, choked
The faraway stars have no reply
The echo returns not
I’m left standing in the dark
Mourning his mindlessnesses
Bombarded by the silence
