the morning
comes early
when the world
can’t fall asleep
dreams
slip quietly
into the night
and there is
no one else
but me
where do I go
when all I want
is to dream
of you
only you
the morning
comes early
when the world
can’t fall asleep
dreams
slip quietly
into the night
and there is
no one else
but me
where do I go
when all I want
is to dream
of you
only you
your words feel like
a million galaxies
upon my skin
rushing
through my veins
like whispers
in the darkness
you are the most
constant thought
in my mind
it feels like
the very element
of you
has found
all the cracks
in my bones
caressing
all the secrets
they keep hidden
deep within
it feels like
your whispers
rush through my skin
and into my veins
strumming
all the delicate
textures of my soul
even
just a fragment
of you
could undo me
here I am
inside these walls
baring my soul
with poetic oxygen
stripped down
for all to see
the depths
of my entirety
my self-portrait
splattered across these
ink-stained pages
unveiled
by my pen
for all to read
A million
little diamonds
sparkle
in the night’s sky
lying here
underneath them
with you
by my side
we dream
a thousand dreams
before we even
close our eyes
beneath
our starlit sky
we’ll dream
a thousand more
before
the twinkle fades
close our eyes
and make a wish
upon our shooting star
and
just for tonight
know we really aren’t
that far
hush now
my love
for a million ones
shine
just for us
the words
fall
one by one
from your lips
still drunk
from the lust
of the night
feeling the darkness
as we lay
in silence
the sound
of the clock
fills our being
tick
tock
every second
falling further
our dreams
we whispered
to the universe
sharing the secrets
that we hide
from others
until the sun
wakes up the rest
of the world
between the sighs
the inhales
and exhales
we always
find our way
back to each other
sometimes goodbyes
are all we have
when in life
love will never be
as we want
I love you
even in moments
so dark
they pull me under
with fear
in the silence
of the seconds
that slowly tick by
and in the
unspoken pauses
that quickly steal
my breath away
I will continue
to love you
always
I think
of all the moments
that had to align
to bring us here
to one another
it’s in these
beautiful moments
that I wish
I could stop time
just to even have
one more second
with you
