Love, Lust, Friendship scattered
All things that truly mattered
My life’s ripped up, tattered
My soul is shattered
Crushed cracked pieces
Are picked up
And shined
Glued all together
But never aligned

Fickle Heartbeat
StandardWhen you enter the room
I can sense it
When we make eye contact
I can feel it
It never wavers
It never falters
Your presence
Is the essence
Of a forever
Fickle heart beat
Faster and slower
My blood pressure
A rollercoaster
You may sense it
You may feel it
When I walk into a room
But until we speak
And the realization comes true
All I have
Are glimpses of happiness
And a fickle heartbeat
Beating for you
Dark blue

Emails
Applications
Errands
Phone calls
Dishes
Dusting
Organizing
Washing
Exercising
Deep breath
Need air
I take a step outside
I feel a rush of welcome cold
And it’s dark blue
The sky’s the perfect shade of dark blue

Blur of colors
Comfy
Lovely
Delicate and harsh
Rainbow of tones
Two roses
Black in the back
Assault of colors

StandardRacing
Running
Charging

Sprinting
Cruising
Embrace my long race
Train under it burns my body and brain
Train until I need air
Train until race day
Running, get lost in the moment of movement

I loved you long before…
StandardI loved you 25 pounds ago
I loved you two haircuts ago
I loved you before that promotion
I loved you before that car
I loved you before that fancy apartment
I loved you before the degrees
I loved you long before the fanfare
I loved you before everything changed for the better
Because you were the best thing that ever happened to me
Before all these things
I loved you when things were hard
I loved you when life was simple
The moment I laid eyes on you I loved you
And although great change is constantly occurring
My love for you only gets stronger
The fire burns, an eternal flame
Because before you became the person you adore
You have to know one thing:
You were always the man I loved
Broken compass
StandardCold, bruised soul
Cold, tired hands
Cold, tired heart
Don’t know which direction to follow
Don’t know day from night
Don’t know if I followed the right star
Cold broken heart
Cold, shattered soul
Cold, exhausted body
Broken compass
Beautiful Thing
StandardEnveloped by your arms
By your heart
By your body
By your soul
Enveloped by your comfort
By your smile
By your eyes
By your overwhelming love for me
We connect into one
It’s beauty

Don’t overthink it
Don’t forget to drink it all in
Hope is enveloped by a thick rope
Dreams gleam
Love is bound
In silky lavender ribbons
Of my sparkling heart

StandardWalking these streets
I know these streets
I know where the roads converge
I know where they meet
I walk aimlessly
I walk to the tea shop
I drink slowly
I explore
I adore
It’s after work
The city is aglow
So I take my time
Fancy clothes
Fancy cars
Everyone feels like a star
I admire dresses, scarves, and hats
I stare at pressed suits and colorful tasteful ties
I stop for an art exhibit
I glance at paintings and statues and more
My mind stirs for hours
Whether on the street
Or in the tea shop
Or the art institute
I love to take my time
Make the day sublime
Grab a dinner by the lake
A solo escape
As I do this
I make sure
To soak it all it
So carefully, cautiously
