Mirakee
In all the dark of the universe,
you saw me not the slightest.
In this galaxy of stars,
even though I burned the brightest.

The Road
The road ahead is winding,
like the belly of a snake.
With every step it digests me,
there’s not much more I can take.
Broken trees form a canopy,
for a path of dirt and mud.
Trenches on each side,
filled with tears and blood.
Flowing memories beside me,
like two crushing streams.
Broken promises in whispers,
I love you in the screams.
All around me in the woods,
hungry stalking eyes.
Somewhere in the black ahead,
I can hear the subtle cries.
I must stay on the path,
if I stray I may get lost.
If I stay here any longer,
my mind may pay the cost.
If this is all in my head,
then into madness I descend.
My worst fear is realizing,
this road may never end.

Drowning
I take a step toward the waves,
One foot then two.
I embrace the chilling cold,
waters of you.
As the water rises,
lapping around my waist.
I see the sand disappear,
like it was erased.
The water went grey,
a reflection of the sky.
How I ended up this deep,
I may never know why.
I know I can’t turn back,
For that it’s too late.
Water all around me,
As I realize my fate.
I’m sinking slowly,
As the sunlight fades to blue.
I never thought I’d die,
Drowning in you. -
Cosmic
Your eyes dilate,
Like tiny black holes.
Your gravity seething,
To devour my soul.
Your lips steal air,
From within my lungs.
The taste of stardust,
On the tip of our tongues.
Your thoughts radiate,
into the void.
Of what’s left of my heart,
That has been left destroyed.
Time has no meaning,
When you’ve been left alone
Like a goddess you came,
From the black unknown.
Bathed in light,
From millions of stars.
Washing me clean,
Leaving only my scars.

The Wolf
Walking through the woods,
Surrounded by moss and vines.
As the fog clears,
I see a shadow through the pines.
A wolf with blazing eyes,
Stares at me with lust.
With a forked tongue,
Behind teeth of stain and rust.
Crashing through the tree tops,
And rooting in the ground,
A light to guide me out,
Of this misery I found.
You swooped into my life,
On black wings made of smoke.
Stay and let me breath you in,
Before the fresh air has me choke.
Take my eyes and see through them,
What I dream of come the night.
Let go your insecurities,
And then return my sight.
I don’t know why you risked it,
With your heart of gold.
I will follow you,
leaving the wolf in the cold.

The Book
On a scrap of paper,
I composed all of myself.
Ripped from a book,
long fallen from shelf.
I tucked it back into the pages,
of this book with no name.
I put back on the shelf,
from which it came.
You were into a book,
that you had no business reading.
To even stop and notice,
what this letter was needing.
It needed to sing,
it’s words to your heart.
You left it unread,
as it fell apart.
The book didn’t want,
to go unread.
The letter inside,
filled with words unsaid.
A book unfinished,
thrown away and forgetting.
For an exciting new character,
with you as a setting.
It took a reader with knowledge,
Of the value of a book.
To see past the tattered cover,
and give it a look.
The letter wasn’t meant
for her to find.
It was meant for you,
but you left it behind.
She knew right away,
she couldn’t let this book diminish.
So she picked up where you left off,
this story was hers to finish.

Want
I want to see that look in your eyes
When your body is pressed against mine,
The smile that graces your lips
Right before we kiss,
The satisfaction on your face
When I'm groaning your name,
The sheen of sweat across your skin
That makes me want to do it again.
I want to taste the sweetness of your lips,
Nearly every inch of your skin,
The curve of your shoulder,
The bones at your hips.
I want to taste your salt on my tongue
While you're coming undone.
I want to feel your hair in my hands
While your head is between my thighs,
And then I want your hands in mine.
I want to feel your breath on my skin,
Your teeth on my neck,
Your fingers digging in.
I want to feel you deep inside me,
Again and again and again.

Maybe
I wonder if maybe
I made a mistake,
But not for me. For you.
I don't want to walk away.
I couldn't if I tried,
Just the thought makes me cry.
Though, I wonder if maybe
Had I stayed away,
Those ghosts wouldn't haunt you.
Would it have started to fade
If not for you and I?
Would the daggers still fly?
I'm so damn sorry, baby
For not seeing what was at stake.
I never thought it could hurt you,
Never thought I'd bring you pain.
The very thought of tears in your eyes
Brings them straight to mine.
I thought that maybe
I was risking heartbreak,
But for me. Not you.
And I still want to stay.
But if that's not what you need this time
I'll let you go; you won't see me cry.

Worth It
Knowing you is
Amazing.
I can think of no one
Better.
Being with you is
Deafening.
My heart beats loud as
Thunder.
Loving you is
Exhilarating.
I can't get any
Higher.
Touching you is
Shattering.
My body torn
Asunder.
Missing you is
Terrifying.
My insecurities grow
Stronger.
But, having you is
Worth it.
I don't deserve the
Wonder.

Terrified
I thought I was strong,
I thought I was brave.
Oh, was I wrong,
I've just been safe.
I've listened to the same song,
Stayed in the same place,
Waited for so long,
Avoided change.
I lingered in a moment
That couldn't hurt me.
Built a monument
To my own surety.
My head bent,
I surrendered casually.
Closed and spent,
I lied down so willingly.
Until the ceiling shattered;
The sun shined
And something mattered.
Now, I realize
That I'm a coward.
I'm afraid of you.
Terrified.
Afraid of loving you.
Afraid of time.
Afraid of forgetting
You're not really mine.
Afraid of the moment you
Open your eyes.

Dark
Every thought inside my head
Is spinning razor sharp,
Shredding everything you said,
Letting in the dark.
Every moment turning sour;
Every unspoken word a dagger.
I don't understand their power
But, they cut down my ladder.
Threw me back into the abyss,
My darkness seeping in;
Shrouding every smile in mist,
Telling me I can't win.
Whispering to keep my guard.
Waiting for the sky to fall.
I never deserved the stars.
I just can't have it all.

Enough
Please understand
I know who I am.
I'm not her,
I'll never be her,
But I'm not so bad.
I'll give you everything I have.
I can wait.
I'll wait as long as it takes,
And maybe you'll find
that I can be enough.
Someday, maybe
I can be enough.
Enough to chase away
The damage to your mind
Enough to make you see
Why I want you to be mine.
Enough to make you happy,
Enough to make you smile.
And while I hope to calm
Your storm ravaged sea
Maybe I can be enough
To make you love me.

The Gift of Reflection
Give the man a mirror,
Let him see hisself in it,
Let him see the thousand and one reasons he was born,
Let him stop feeling inferior,
And feel he is the best.
Let him see the image of his maker, and know how he should live his life.
If only you would give the man a mirror...
Maybe he'd be better -
Stars
I wonder what you see in my face
when I'm looking at you.
When I'm watching every move you make
Can you see it all shining through?
Do my eyes light up the way my heart does?
Are my feelings that obvious to you?
I hope they are; I hope you see.
I hope you'll start to believe in the way
That I look at you.
Believe that you are worth it,
Worth every skipped beat of my heart.
I'm in love with the way your mind works,
With every piece of who you are.
I can only hope that I can be enough
To capture all of your stars.
