Like a fish out of water
he gasps
the air an enemy to his lungs
but more, he needs more
because either way he’s suffocating
and he’ll take it no other way
as the alternative is without her
and there’s just no way its worth it
to survive with her with someone else
someone who isn’t himself
so he gasps again
taking in as much of the toxic air as he can
before staying in the forever memory
of when they were together
a sleep from which he hopes he won’t awake
Adoration
I’ll Stay Until I Can’t
Can I stay
and lose my mind in everything that you are
because it doesn’t take much
At some point you’ll feel it
too, the electricity
lighting up my heart so bright
But it’ll be the end of me
the day you realize your current
wasn’t permanent
Just a temporary jolt
to make you realize that what you really need
what you really want
isn’t me.
Endearment, Thy Name Is You
In the lowest possible dwelling
neither light nor shadows are
is where the branches of love form
born through the darkness
existent without illumination
nourished with caution and hope
and with the succulent notion that growth
in its overrated value
shall bloom into something lustrous
prodigious intelligence spread into each limb
each portion of the globe
until its untimely death
unwarranted yet deserved
to resume its cycle at its due hour
Untimely Love
I didn’t see you coming
And you fell right into me
As I fell deep into you
Hung on by your ocean eyes
And when you didn’t let me go
When you grabbed into my heart
To pull me closer to your soul
I let you
Because you let me
Feel your warm whispers turn to promises
And it was more than enough
As I’m all in and always have been
More Than You Know
I’m nervous,
A memory surged of our first acquaintance;
her eyes pierced into me and all I wanted to do was give her everything,
anything that she didn’t need but always wanted
Haunted by the contours of her perfect face,
her skin so golden, a tedious replication of defining beauty
Impossibly her heart bares even more flawless
Helen of Troy envious of the soul that launched a million ships
Now she stands gazing upwards at the moon,
gracing the night with her elegance
Years had passed and yet here I sit starstruck,
striving to gather the courage to ask her to be mine
forever
So, as of June 19th 2015, I’m engaged! 🙂
