Love Sleeps
Ever-lasting love
That has never known bounds nor heeded the laws of
space and time
Where are you?
That is my heart's most fervent query
Where has my eternal love slept
All those nights when the moon shone brightly upon my
sadness to chill my empty bed?
What arms has my only love been missing
When mine were barren and unfilled?
Has my love experienced those lips
Who are whetted always with the desire to touch his?br>
Is it possible he longs for me, as I do him
Yet not know that we share the same stars
Gazing each night into the celestial plain as if to
find our missing part hung up like some heavenly constellation?
Does he long for the same things as I?
To be nestled and safe in my soft touch?
To be loved only by me?
To have the security of another who will always be there?
Where does my eternal love sleep? I ask myself.
He answers, It should not matter where I slumber
to find me when I awaken
that is the real test of true love.
Sugar
I want to pull you closer to me
I want you to hear my thoughts
so that you can fathom what it is I’m feeling
giddy with
pure
spun
sugar
happiness
kisses on my fingertips
that don’t quite reach your lips
I want to look at you again
sitting across from each other
in a crowded restaurant
turning coffee-flavored spoons
in our hands
while we talk about everything and nothing at all
I’ve been living in-between days
splitting the seconds
time is nothing to me without you to spend it with
‘you are the flame that warms my heart,’ you wrote to me
it seems like a thousand years ago
you are my flame as well
a single, flickering candle
burning blindingly against that impregnable wall
of darkness before me
I circle you like a moth
risking everything
just to be deliriously close
I am consumed in your fire
Waltzing Heart
Traveling alone
Wet pavement rises up to meet me
Misty halo embraces the moon
Walking into the sand
Particles of earth coat my skin
Waves crashing along the shore
The only sound
Except for my heartbeat
One heart searching for another
Kneeling on the ground
Enveloping myself in the salty glow
Closed eyes
Open heart
Accepting the serenity of the earth
Calm my tears
Silence my cries
Breathe in the energy around me
Release my pain
Let the water wash away my loneliness
Allow the sand to absorb my anguish
Open myself to feel again
Take away my insecurities
Admit to my mind
What my heart is telling me
The gentle wind fills me with confidence
Strokes my soul
Energizes my body
I wish my love were here with me
Is it love?
Unrequited
Tenderly I send my love a kiss
Floating on the breeze
And carrying all my heart has to offer
Rising
Walking
Sink into the water
Submerged in my love
Healing
Don’t walk away from me
Leave me standing in this cold night air
Talk to me
Hear me
Trust is loving you
I love you
Believe that
Even if you don’t believe anything else I have to say
You make my dreams come true
Every beat of your heart matches mine
I am comforted by your words
Worried by your fear
Fear is losing you
My life is yours
Fragile and yielding
Don’t let it slip between your fingers
I could live my whole life and not find another you
I need you to death
I desire you to excess
Bathe me in your love
I don’t care if I drown
Let the sweet bubbles rise up
And leave me breathless
I’ll be your little girl
Your whore
Your confidant
Your friend
I take your picture to bed
Dreams of you beside me
I’ll do anything to keep you by my side
I would die
I would weep
I would encourage my heart’s healing
