there is just something about you
that is so ingrained
under my skin
that at times
it takes my breath away
and I need a map back
to my own heartbeat

The fabrics of life
I watched her fold the fabric
neatly and gather it gently
under my peaceful face
I remember her hands
comfortable and tender
tucking me away in bed
telling me stories
of Kings and Queens
and a land far far away
the way her mouth would smile
as she reached the end
of the fairytale
I remember the softness
of her voice
as whispers of goodnight
filled my sleepy head
and as I drift off to dream
that’s how I’ll remember her
in the quietness of the silence
that’s where she will live
for eternity
Summer breeze
I want to get lost
in a summer’s day
where I send my worries
away on a breeze
in moments infinitely fleeting
they touch you so gently
leaving before you can
catch your breath again
it’s in those moments
that you find me
and I smile
as little fragments of us
dance through my heartbeat
and the memories
remain upon my skin
Dancing shadows
sometimes the night
secretly finds me
dreaming of the dancing
shadows of you and I
and I know
that at least in dreams
I’ll love you
with just a little bit
of everything that consumes me
Memorized
my heart beats
in the quiet realms of the night
and I thought I could hear
the sound of your breath
I’ve memorized
the way you inhale
and slowly exhale
it’s as if I feel you
within each layer of my skin
in every second that ticks by
with moments so fleeting
I long to hold on to you
to this
because time is a strange story
and the script is already written
between the pages of you and I
I love you
it’s in these quiet moments
when we’re sitting there alone
waiting for the other’s words to come
that I’m reminded just how much
I love you
I cherish you
I adore you
when the world
finally feels small enough to inhale
to fill my lungs with the very breath of you
and breathe in your essence
to feel alive as I close my eyes
no worries of yesterday
for that day is no longer
no fear of tomorrow
because that day never comes
it’s the right here, right now
that is all that truly matters
these are the moments
we should live inside
these are the moments
of you and I
Luminous
standing at the window
she reads their love letters
to the universe
an infinite reflection
of who she was
staring back at her
as the colors of the moon
paint a luminous mural
across the room
the thought of him
comes flooding back through her
like it was just yesterday
and the goodbye
hurts just the same
a promise once made
now
just a bitter-sweet memory
Novel
lay me down
and open me
like your favorite book
waiting to be read
tracing over the lines
of my novel
memorizing every word
there’s something about the way
you slide your fingers
between my pages
that makes my stories
come alive
Polaroid
unspoken moments
printed
ink-stained
and packed away
reminders
of a life
that use to be
where the silence
feels so loud
within the corners
of our story
and time
seems to freeze
the memories
that still remain
inside the frame
of a polaroid
Pieces of me
I hope you find
pieces of me
in the lyrics
of your favorite song
inside the lines
of your favorite book
or in the temporary moments
of fleeting happiness
but most of all
I hope you find me
in the silence of the night
when you close your eyes
and dream
