sun-kissed skin & strawberry lips

Sun-kissed skin & strawberry lips
Water up to my chin
So much bliss I could drown in it
And it surrounds me
It is abounding
between you & me
There are glances to sow and kisses to reap
And I will keep
Hope alive
In your stunning blue eyes
In the comfort of arms
That hold and do not harm
But accept and know
That there is nowhere to go
Nowhere to be
Nowhere to be understood more perfectly
Than with your head against my chest
Than me laying to rest
On your shoulder and falling asleep
Where two hearts leap
And joyfully beat
Chests rise and fall
And represent the inevitable
Me falling for you, and you for me
And I find such serenity
In the moments between breaths
When the world stands still
Waiting for you to fill
Your lungs with air
And breathe
Or sigh
Or speak
Or sing
And bring your purpose
To the surface
A smile which finds its place
On your beautiful face
And floods this world with light
You are a sight
To be seen
You are a dream
Come true.

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
