I’ve got moonlight in my hands

The warmth of a star so close to me

can’t even comprehend

This beautiful soul I see

She’s got this smile about her

That from the corner gently teases

Coaxing kisses from lips so soft

My heart skips into pieces

It’s not often I’m silent in her presence

Pumping her full of my pointless banter

But just one glance up from those eyes

And nothing I’ve said matters

She’s snowfall over bonfires

Or rainfall in a drought

She’s the Carmel to my apple

And everything life’s about

So with this moonlight in my hands

And the warmth of a star so close to me

We’ll stroll through the darkness

Blowing down blunt wrapped trees

I had to fall apart to see all the pieces

Laid out in front of me like a road map to recovery I could pinpoint exactly where the rip in my seem was. I had been stuffing myself full of nothings. Full of air, no weight inside threatening to collapse from lack of structure. Who taught you how to love? I had been stumbling along crafting hopes and dreams but what was 𝓵𝓸𝓿𝓮….

Once Upon a Time

Speaking to my soul

Your heart reaches for mine
Through distance and memories
Yurning always in time
Eyes locked in a stare
That seems to erase all matter
No person can compare
From this day after
Love songs and poetry
Every cliche you can imagine
Makes me think of you, want you
How could I let this happen
Again caught in a web
Of pretty words and attraction
Deeply in your heart lies stories untold
Of hurt, deception and realities unfold
What’s behind that smile
That makes my heart skip two beats
What’s pulsing through your head when our lips don’t speak
All I see is the halo floating peacefully at your crown
An angel with sincerity
Floating gracefully around
Speaking to your soul
My heart reaches for yours
How can I expect to not ever
Want more
