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

Wishes

with every second 
that passes
I wish I could hear
the sound of your breath
as you whisper 
your love to me
and feel your voice
laying gently upon
the layers of my skin
I wish you knew how deeply 
you are etched 
into my bones
and that every poem 
that flows from my fingers 
will find a way to you
in every single lifetime 
this universe holds
