Alone with you

Alone with you is where I long to be
Alone with her is where you are free
...

You came to me a ray of light abruptly emerging through uncertain skies,
Touching the Earth in a single eruption of force.
Your piercing eyes as deep as the sky is profound.
Your mouth as welcoming as the clouds are ceaseless.
...

My Dandelion; From what sun-kissed breeze did you arrive?
Sweeping through my hair and across my lips,
Ever so gently fondling my heart.
Your softness eludes me like the darkness of a midnight sky.
...

Alas, 'tis the season for my heart to love.
A crisp Monday morning; bustling bodies align the streets, shoving off to their jobs.
The salty pavement ahead reflects only visions of those deep, radiant morsels; portals to your soul, summonsing me until all else becomes a faint muffle.
The CD spins a kaleidescope of yesterday's images while rendering me incoherent.
...

All my days I have sought you like a flower following the sun; grasping for every morsel of light.
The river of my essence has flowed to your inviting ocean; spinning in a cyclone of wildfire.
My heart has become encapsulated by the sands of your shores, sucking me into euphoria.
Love has encumbered my heart like that of a mother to her newborn child.
...

Like a fog-swept valley in the dew of the morning,
You are a welcome breeze nipping at untouched senses.
A heatwave of pleasantries caught in a whirlwind,
Swirling around my head and making it's way to my lips.
...

From the blue you appeared unforeseen,
And to the blue you have elated me in flight.
From the blue, an angel I envision you,
And how the blue casts your radiance for others to see!
...

'Life's journeys may appear futile, but even washed-up seashells return to the sea to start anew.'

'How can we respect others without first seeking the respect of ourselves'
...

My Heart, you've Captured
This Body, you've Intoxicated
My Soul, you've Pierced
This Mind, you've Unfolded
...

When shall my weary heart prevail from this ceaseless pain?
Aching, my burning heart's love lost indefinitely.
So long ago, soulmates in unity.
Such fiery love like the passion of night.
...

Dark, Deep, Transient -
Softly Alluring, Melodic tunes.

The block of light,
...

Oh, my light in the dark, from which star did you fall?
How could you force the rain to fall heavily upon my soul?
A puddle drowning my aura, my being.
...

Cyclone thou art
Encompassing a force to peel back layers ghastly congealed
Soulful lifetime imprisoned behind skins leather tough
Seeping, embedding poroused heart
...

My heart is but a mere plague; rapidly spreading emotion throughout my body until numbness succumbs my senses.
Breathing becomes a gasp for reality lost in a river of tears; Mobility is pure agony.
My torso is ravaged with sickness at the thought of your cerulean eyes becoming null to my vision forevermore.
The very soul of me lies flattened and tormented as the hourglass selflishly empties, leaving a passion that will remain long thereafter.
...

The undulance of the sea; serenity in its utmost form.
Waves of constant occurence swallowing thoughts into its depths, towed away unencumbered to another psyche perched elsewhere upon its border.
The emanating ocean flows forth a magnitude of calmness without halt.
It stealthily lays upon its salty canvas an array of shells from its sandy palette.
...

Flower you; so beautiful and bright
Adored by all for your radiant beauty
Petals plucked & leaves prodded by unworthy passers-by
Resiliently returning the next season;
...

It is what it is
This moment is only this moment
That moment is gone;
No two are alike
...

Drowned - Heavily sunken - swallowed; murky water, dark and ominous.
Found - You; blossomed flower amongst desert sands.
From ground - Onto clouds set high, embracing sun's rays; white hot.
The sound - Your mouth, melodious vibration; sensation to my soul.
...

I live as roses live
Boldly, brightly, fervently - protective of each delicate petal.
Survival in vain.
From the hard, dry Earth, a demon in red-hooded disguise.
...

Sitting with questions.
Answers elude me.
Thoughts creep in and escape.
Stillness comes.
...
