You Are Free

~One day when the world pushes you to the breaking point, and pain etched itself into your soul. Remember that you didn’t come this far to fall back into the pit you crawled out of. Remember that you are stronger now; circumstances no longer controls you. You are free. ~

Your Heart, My Home

There are days when life feels overwhelming, and the world is ravished by hatred and pain. On those days when it seems like hope is slipping away, I turned and look for you, my lifeline and sweetest miracle. Your presence and your love has kept me grounded, your heart is my home.

The Rush

I don’t need light to see you

I can feel you in my veins

I carry your heartbeat

On my tongue

My soul trembles

With the need to hold you

Your taste is madness

You are the sweetest rush

I’ve ever known

The Finality of Life…

I never got to say goodbye

Death was swift

The finality of life

Crashed into me

And I’m left with

Feelings

Unresolved

And painfully

Alone©

What Do You Know About Love…

Your love surged

In my veins

And I felt forever

Drawn in my blood

I knew in that moment

I would die daily

For you

I knew pain could not

Touch us

I knew the world

Could not break us

And at the end

We would fold into

Each other

And breathe as one

Apple Blossom…

I’ve loved you

Ever since the apple tree

Blossomed

And the smell filled me

Up

With a deep longing

To hold You

To kiss every line

In your ambrosial

Face

There’s no more

Space

In me

I’m no longer my own

Self

Buried in a field of

Apples

Your eyes

Saying

Let’s stay this way

Forever
