I take one breath and the tears snap at my ankles
One rolls down my cheek, another forming
Where there’ll eventually be crows’ feet.
Another breath, I’m knee deep
In thoughts of you and me,
Salty water rising lazily
One more breath and I’m sunk to my waist
Each touch, a memory
Every kiss a lesson
And my lungs, submerged
Yet another breath and
I can taste my tears
All of my hopes and dreams and fears
They all led back to you,
And you crushed them so callously
One last breath and now I can’t see,
I let the ocean take me
It came from eyes

Tue, 19 Feb 2013 14:57:16 -0500

My first thought is always
That I hope you’re safe
My first wish that
You’re happy and well
My first prayer that you’re
Always that way
My heart rate quickens
My eyes narrow
Be safe; be happy; be well,
My love

You’ve never kissed me
Quite so tenderly
I felt as if you
Didn’t really want to leave
A hand on my arm,
Another on my leg
Softness, silence

Your eyes, blood red. Every vein, every artery pulsing with desire. Your most primal need, voiced so plainly, making my heart pound with longing. Wanting your hands on my skin; rough, urgent.
How do I fast forward a year? Seeing you is essential. My ivory craves your darkness.
The sky bleeds a thousand shades of blue, a million shades of ecstasy. Each drop is our mutual lust. How do I skip forward to next summer?
The monsoons will come in our homelands and our bodies will meet. Won’t they?
Not knowing is the hardest. How do I find it in myself to believe?
Your lips beg to be touched by mine, your breaths need to keep time to the beat of my pounding heart. How do I get you here?

I hope your lips taste of my mine forever.

I hope your lips taste of my mine forever.

I smell you on my fingertips, I taste you on my tongue.

I smell you on my fingertips, I taste you on my tongue.

You say what’s on your mind and it hurts me, so you take back your words because you still want me there when you need me to be.

Mon, 25 Jun 2012 16:24:29 -0400

Being far away from you is going to be so strange.

I’ll be free to think about whatever I want, dream about whoever I want, love whomever I choose and smile whenever I feel like it.

I can’t remember what I used to think about before I met you, and I can’t imagine what I’ll be thinking about in September, but I’m eager to find out.

Being far away from you is going to be so, so strange.

There’s something you’re not telling me, something you’re not saying

I said your name in my empty house. I stood where you used to stand, where you took my face in your hands. I was alone in my empty house, without you. I guess now I’ll always be without you.

I made the mistake of letting you in again. I let myself fall for you again, and I let your kisses...

I made the mistake of letting you in again. I let myself fall for you again, and I let your kisses carry me away again.

The one who knows your body, who holds it like a secret. He is the one you love.

The one who knows your body, who holds it like a secret. He is the one you love.

June, be kind. Don’t hurt me like you did last time.

June, be kind. Don’t hurt me like you did last time.

I put so many words into every touch.

Thu, 24 May 2012 23:24:54 -0400

Seeing death and tragedy hit so close just makes me want to tell you I love you. Not through texting or messages or any form of technology, but to your face, so you know that I mean it. I love you, now and always. Sure, it’ll fade eventually, but it’ll never go away completely. Because real love always remains.

Thu, 24 May 2012 19:27:36 -0400

My first love, my one and my only
The softness of your skin on mine, so holy
The taste of your shoulders, your cheeks, your lips
Holds me here, on hallowed ground
Lying in your arms is where I want to be found.

I want to meet the girl I would have been, if I had never met you.

Sun, 20 May 2012 11:52:05 -0400

I love you bravely
I love you selfishly
I love you sadly
I love you madly
I want you to be happy, I want you to cry
I want you to know you’ll always be mine.
Even when we’re old, even when we’re taken
Even when we have husbands and wives and grandchildren
Know that a part of my heart
Will always want you, as it has from the very start.

Everyone is on the side of the lover. Nobody will root for the loved, save for his lover.

Mon, 14 May 2012 21:19:09 -0400

I’ll pretend that when you laid your head
Upon my chest you wanted to hear my heartbeat.
I’ll pretend that every soft, secret kiss was meant to Show me how you really feel.
I’ll pretend the light in your eyes when you look
At me is love, I’ll pretend every feather- light
Touch is a prayer from you to me.
I’ll pretend to keep the hope alive, because darling
Your breath on my cheek is as fleeting as time.
