I’m thinking of you
And I know you’re thinking of me.
Like a solar storm, we create electricity.
Apart but together,
Two hearts beating
Searching for synchronicity.
Hoping that the universe
Will move us closer,
Take pity,
Give us our very own galaxy.

I want to see you,
I want to feel you.
In the here and now.
Screw the ever-after,
All that matters
Is this very moment.
And the pleasure
You make me feel.
For I was imaginary
Until you made me real.

The glow of the lights
Shines out across the water
Calling me back home.
In the chill winter twilight
All is dark except for you.

Yes, you came and saved me again.
From the shadows and the dark,
From the monsters in my heart.
You are electric, lighting up my night.
I resonate to the frequency of your touch.
I ache when you are absent, without you
Living is as bitter as a winter storm.
As callous as tears,
Cried naked and alone.
Yes, you saved me once again
From the torment and the fears.
You are temptation I can’t resist.

Moondust and love, and other illusions.
Happiness and heartbreaks, and other confusions.
Crying eyes and bloodied knees,
And other assorted childhood contusions.
But none of it means anything to me
If you’re not the first thing I see on waking.

If I should fall will you catch me.
In your arms will you hold me
Until the morning, through the night.
Will you see me through the hard times.
Will you see that everything’s alright.
Will you walk with me through the storm, stay
By my side.
Will you reach out when I’m not talking,
Will you speak for me if I lose my voice.
Will you soothe my troubled tides.
Will you be my bridge to peace.
Will you stay here until forever
By my side.

Day nine of my review of the last twelve months and a poem about the completeness that comes with being trapped in a place that you don’t want to escape from …

Let me wrap you in silence,
A calmness complete.
Chains made of feather,
In happiness replete.
Let me wash you in an ocean
Wave after wave
Of azure, affectionate love.
Let me make you my obsession
I’ll remain tied to the mast.
You will be my moment
No more future or past.
I’ll be sated, all sensation
Will mean nothing to me.
I’ll be blinded, only you will I see.

Undiscovered, under the covers,
The secrets we share while wrapped in these sheets.
The language of lovers discussed under the covers.
Within the realm where passion dwells
Where unrest is quelled, our bodies meet.
Where the universe dwindles to just dust
Dancing, in a reality, over there out of reach.
