Passing Ships

in the quiet corners of my heart
I kept a flame burning 
a tender light 
that belonged solely to you 
it danced and flickered 
casting shadows of hope 
across the walls of my soul
illuminating a path 
for only you and I

but in your words 
I felt a distance 
a reflection of a love 
not quite the same 
it was as if our hearts 
were ships passing in the night 
destined for different shores

and I guess the hardest part
of this is learning to accept
that not all loves are the same

Enough

their souls have danced together
intertwined in a love 
that seemed destined for eternity
yet life’s unpredictable waves
led them to different paths
she realized that love 
was not always about possessing
but sometimes about releasing
and with a heavy heart
she knew she had to set him free
letting go of someone you truly love 
is perhaps one of life’s greatest challenges
and she knew  
that she would always carry 
a piece of him within her
and hopefully
that would be enough

Gentle whispers

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

Within a dream

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

Pure beauty

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
