This is a collaboration I did with my best friend Christopher. This has been in the works for a long time now and we are finally releasing it. If you’d love to meet him and read his journey, please visit him HERE. I love you bestie! Thank you for allowing me to write with you again.
inside the breath of summer
I find myself dancing
to the color of our love
and in the blink
of a thousand dreams
your breeze
leaves me at peace
that final word broke
the thin grasp of love
that I was holding on to
and in these last moments
I am reminded
of what can’t be erased
and the weight
of a thousand memories
fill my eyes
knowing time was a silent witness
to the memory of you
being engraved into my bones
*Picture is my own photography*
in the monochrome stillness
a black-and-white picture
reveals its secrets in its frame
a moment suspended
where shades of light
and darkness intertwine
there exists a silent masterpiece
with a lifetime of stories
etched upon its bark
and captured
by the lens of time
in the blink
of a thousand wishes
I can still feel you
as your gentle fingertips
graze the contours of my skin
it is as if the universe has conspired
to create a moment
that only we exist in
it is a delicate dance of energy
where skin meets skin
and vibrations ripple through
my very essence
the weight of your touch lingers
like gentle whispers
upon my skin
and I know this love story
will forever be
written upon the pages
of my soul
I want to meet
the sound of your breath
as it fills an empty room
and listen to the stories
that you hold inside
within every exhale
to feel the weight
of your words
quietly settle inside
the depths of my flesh and bones
and wait to be scattered
upon these pages
within a dream
of a dream
I dream of you
behind closed eyes
and in the darkest
of darkness
I find you there
and confess one by one
the depths of my love
visible and bare
peeling back
layer by layer
everything I am
everything I use to be
and I am holding on so tighty
to what’s left of time
because once this dream is over
what will be left
of us
I at times
cannot fathom
the pure beauty
of your symmetry
the way your eyes
trace every curve of my body
leaving no place untouched
and your voice
slowly dances down
the arch of my back
resting in every pore
upon my naked flesh
your touch is every secret
that hides beneath your soul
and your love paints me
the most beautiful picture
that I’ve ever seen
*Photo is my own*
in the gentle embrace
of morning’s caress
a solitary flower
makes its presence
its delicate petals wide open
revealing the life it holds
each slender curve
and exquisite detail
speaks of nature’s artistry
beauty that flourishes
in even the humblest
corners of existence
raindrops
like liquid diamonds
cling to the flower’s velvety surface
suspended in time
they glisten like precious memories
captured in nature’s fragile vessel
each beautiful drop
holds a story of its own
bearing the weight
of whispered secrets
gathered during long conversations
between petals and breeze
*Photo is my own*
time stretches
like a fragile thread
as I sit alone
on this weathered bench
in these moments
of suspended existence
I find myself caught
between the past and present
the ticking of the clock
becomes a resounding echo
amplifying the echoes
of my thoughts
each second
a drop in the hourglass
falls with a measured cadence
and I wait patiently
for the arrival of that someone
who promises
to breathe life into my silence
in the realm of ink and paper
I seek solace in the rhythm
as the thoughts slowly find
the tips of my fingers
with words as my palette
and metaphors as my guide
I embark on a journey
where love and poetry meet
like a gentle breeze
on a summer’s eve
love softly whispers its tune
caressing the depths of my soul
I dip my quill in passion’s ink
and let the verses flow
it’s there I see you
upon these empty pages
and as the breath of life
passes through my layers
pieces of you
of me
of us
will be forever written
inside this heartbeat of mine
