Born in the Summer

I was born in the summer

The season when everything is thriving 

And so were you

Stars aligning

You were born when the blackberries are ripe

Sweet and warm 

I plucked you from the vine

With delicate hands

Knee deep in thorns

Every step carefully planned

This statement is sworn: 

The work is always worth the berry

When the days are long

When my heart is wary

The rewards are sweet

And the sun is warm on my face

I would gladly lay my heart at your feet

For a simple smile

Send me reeling

Sprinting through the river wild

Stone over stone, that summer feeling

Will you take my hand?

Will you run with me?

Will you lay naked on the sand?

Will you hold the honey bee?

Always daring

Ever growing

Music blaring

Wind blowing

Through your golden hair

Across the softest skin

I can't help but stare

Can't help but gently lift your chin

And press my lips onto yours

Taste the sweet fruit 

I could spend hours 

I could take root

Right here next to you forever

I think I will 

A steadfast endeavor

Maybe, just maybe, time will stand still

For you and me

So I can love you forever, and never 

Ever let you go.

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
