Holding Onto a Moment Gone
I felt it While holding a cold glass in my hand The tips of my fingers became frosted And while caressing the palm of my other I felt yours instead The strength in your toughened skin The smell of your favorite moisturizer Which I only began using To hopefully emulate this exact thing The memory…

May You Call Me by My Name
Call me by the name you knowSince that’s the one I told you so.But late at nightWhen it’s just us two,Whisper to me The name that’s true.I can’t tell you everything,Not just yet.But wait for me, please don’t forget.Because the love we shareIt’s real, I swear.Wait until I can give my all.May the time fly…

Moving Garden
Thank you for showing me how to plant my seeds How to help them grow I still water the seeds we made together Maybe one day, I can feed to you the fruits they bare Until then, I’ll tend to my moving garden

Honeyed Soul
Look a little closer They say eyes Are the window to the soul In mine You’ll see a story Of honey coated loves Golden aura soaked trails And a healthy dose of hedonism

Walking Juxtaposition
I’m happy, I swear it I love my life, I do But the way I feel now So small, so blue What is this I’m feeling? My heart hurts, but it’s not broken I crave a deep chat, but dare not start a conversation I crave a hug, but cannot ask for one I miss…

Too Strong a Word
You just told me you love me And I can’t help but think that’s funny Because the boy last night told me Love is such a strong word But this morning you realized it wasn’t strong enough
