Undoubtedly, There is More Than…

one way to love you
More than one way to kiss you
There has to be
because I feel you beyond
your touch
and I see you beyond your words
I listen for your whisper
when you are not in my presence
Your essence
lingers in my daydreams
with flashbacks and flash-forwards
Undoubtedly
I love you in more ways than one
and
without a title
because I cannot simplify my feeling
into the small realm of definition
defined by another
No other
will ever share this space that I’ve made my own
and glow with me
as you do
complimenting all that makes me good
and holding the mirror steady for me
as I try my best to become better
I love you in this moment
for that
and my reasoning may transition in the next
filling my heart with indispensable treasures
no measure or guidelines
for how to love you

Rainbows and Razor Blades...

love me knots unraveling
twists and turns
and
sexless rug burns
my heart is confused and heavy
but still beating
(new rhythm)
Something is off balance in my universe
(X and Y)
and
my strength makes me weak
pains to speak
partial honesty isn't
and
this is why lines lie stagnant
in sands of ego

I Am Blank...

stuck in a warped feeling of none
at ease with the in's and out's
without passion
It's dry and I'm thirsty
taunted by the wasted moisture
dripping on the outside of my glass
I'm blank
listening to reoccurring echos of static
begging love to provoke me
for hurt to hold me
long enough to feel...
something
Instead, I'm looking for myself on old pages
words that became my emotions
and escaped through my pen
never to be felt so deeply again
I'm blank

It Haunts You...

the way I use to
look at you
the nights when I would
scream for you
breathing softly on that spot while you
caressed me
and now you linger in thought
begging for a clear picture
of what once was...
we were
and it haunts you
the way I would smile
when you walked through the door
sun, moon and stars
words of passion would slip through my hands
when I reached for you
butterflies and coy glances
does it hurt you now
to close your eyes
and be surrounded in memory
haunted by me
time fades in fractions
but today you still feel
each curve of my body
the comfort of my voice
my words
my lips
my kiss
and it haunts you

I'm Kind Of...

sad
and sort of
happy
teetering between
there and limbo
I'm almost
in love
and not quite
in like
but possibly
stuck
I'm uncertain
of what I want
and perhaps
I already have it
most likely
I'm not sure
maybe
I'll find the answers
I could be
asking the wrong questions
but probably not
absolutely undecided

Insert your own:
I'm kind of...and sort of...teetering between there and limbo...I'm almost...and not quite...but possibly stuck...I'm uncertain...and perhaps...most likely...maybe...I could be...but probably not

This Moment Feels So Good…

that I want to make it tangible
I want to hold on to this feeling
even after this moment has passed
I do not wish to think back
with only the gesture of a memory induced smile
I want to literally feel the energy then
as I can feel it now
No matter what the future holds for us
I want the option to go into my box of tangible things
Pushing aside the love letters and photographs
I want to retrieve this emotion...
a feeling I know will never be duplicated
could never be replicated
and is too complicated for time to capsule
I need this moment to be tangible
because I know forever is not

All It Took Was a Simple Smile...

and my demeanor changed
I realized their intention was different than I perceived
as true intent stretched beautifully across their face

I went with it...
I fell captive to the simplicity of their smile
and smiled back

All it took was three simple words
then my wall came tumbling down
and I realized their feeling matched my own
as I said it back without hesitation

I was going with it...
I was eager to believe the simplicity of their words
and exposed my heart to their hands

Perhaps I should have said "handle with care"
because they did not

And all it took was a simple tear
to carry the weight of my hurt
as I caved back into memory of that simple smile
and those simple words
