I crave. The nearness of you.
I crave your hands — the nearness of you — your smile.
This is how you love me:
The firm pressure of your grip, asserting presence,
I blush — succumb to the
pulsating heat of your weight.
In your absence, my eyes trace the invisible handprints of your touch (you grip my neck like a cup; a single palm between my chest)
Beneath the earth of my flesh,
your scent rises and...

Je T'aime
I love you for all the women I haven’t known
I love you for all the times in which I haven’t lived
For the scent of wide open spaces and the smell of hot bread
For the melting snow and for the first flowers
For the innocent animals which haven’t been frightened by man
I love you to love
I love you for all the women I don’t love
Who reflects me if not you...

in the midnight hour
While people breathe in wisps of smoke, I choke, exhale a floor of nails.
And when we sing at this hour’s wake, we sing through the pain, we scream to be heard only by ourselves, we wait patiently for the morning’s sun, for light to suck dry the loneliness of darkness.
I find myself constantly at times like these, when no light shines on beauty for me to see and the only beauty I can reflect...

Memorise You
Don’t you cry now | Your tears are too precious - keep them | For times | When light pierces your soul | As you wander the world | Discovering things for the first time | Wherever you are, wherever you may go
Your tears - keep them for those precious moments | When joy tickles at your heart | For moments that | Make you smile so hard | You want to cry - makes you laugh so hard | You start...

heart rush
Ever so often I hear something that makes my heart rush within my body.
Ever so often I hear something that reminds me to breathe. That tears the living from my soul into moments of awakening. I don’t know so many things, but I do know that ever so often
when your voice speaks to me through my memory, I start to smile.
Ever so often I hear the tenderness of your words in times of distress...

is beautiful again
All is beautiful again.
The details of life are extraordinary. The textures, the aromas, the sensations. The sunsets, the sunrises, the oceans, the winds, the smile between strangers – the details of life.
Some days I cannot see these things and all becomes bleak… and I become nothing. Everyone is walking, running toward something, but I am rooted to the spot with nothing to go to.
Then, I...

first post,
I could love you better, and be better as I love you.
Not a confession but a dedication to you.
You,
Ocean.
You, Sunrise.
You, Sunset,
Me, Moon.
Let me be the Moon that shines only at night.
During lonely hours of darkness when the heart needs to feel,
And the only thing that enters you is Longing.
Let me be your Moon as you Long,
If not for me, for some other.
Just let me be with...
