Ramblings

Her skin is like silk
And I wilt
Like flower petals
In her image
because touching her is a privilege

I love to make her blush
Because she laughs when she gets flushed
And the sound of her laughter
Unbridled and full of soul
Is a sacred time
When she doesn't mind
Losing control

I miss her smile so much
How everything she does
Breathes life into everything around her
The world seems softer
Less hard
When she shows her stunning heart

How fortunate am I?
To watch her thrive
In the light
To watch her delight
In simple pleasures
And life's most precious treasures

I am watching her fall in love with herself
As I am writing poetry, and she didn't need help
But I think she is starting to see
I hope that I am reflecting
Back to her who she is to me

Run wild young beauty
Across the countryside of Italy
I am a world away, but so close still
Just beyond the window sill
Across a blanket of stars
I am never far
From your heart

All my life.

I could write a million words I could bring the ink To this paper I could type until my fingers bleed But nothing will say what you mean to me And I have written about other girls Before But none have stirred my soul like you do None have made me want to dance And sing And play like a child And recklessly desperately try so hard to be near you I can hear you in my dreams Telling me you want me Whispering Humming In my ear A thousand times I've dreamt of what it would be like To be yours I've let hours waste away Thinking about your hands in my hair Twisting curls around your fingers Getting lost in the oceans in my eyes The music in your voice is a reprise I could listen to all my life.

"Big Skinny"

You stole my heart with a smile, and you broke it with a trigger pull You seemed so put together, but you really had your hands full Never feeling good enough, never living up to expectations You thought that you were failing, when all you needed was some patience And I wish that I had had that talk with you, where we share our secrets Instead of them weighing down on you, you could trust me to keep it You ask me where my scars are from, and I ask you why you want to leave Why you’re tired of being here with us, why your heart is on your sleeve You gave so much to us and maybe you took too much from yourself You, ever longing to fulfill a purpose greater than yourself I wish that there had been a better solution for you other than waiting Waiting for something better to happen, instead of looking to John 3:16 If it was eternal life you desired, then eternal life you shall get For you are the closest to any angel that I have ever met And I miss yo...

Crows feet.

I hope I give you crows feet From smiling Too often I hope that when our eyes meet Your knees go weak And your body grows heavy Because you mesmerize me The way you talk The way you walk The way you brush my body When you stand beside me To let me know you want to touch me The way you smile at me subtly In a room full of people I am the one That you look at like that And every time you turn your back I will follow I will swallow All my fear Just to be near You and your heart beating Because it feels like I’m cheating Fate If I don’t give in to the way You move me And I don’t even know if destiny Is real but I know this feeling is And it’s just too strong to dismiss
