Poems I've been holding on to...
Haiku #20
Breathe life into me
Everyday with your words
Wrap me up in you
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Haiku#21
Overacting
Is simply part of my charm
It makes me love hard
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Haiku #22
Am i safe with you?
Guess not if i have to ask
Time for something new
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Haiku #23
Can i close my eyes
Lean my head back and breathe out
Safe in your presence?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Haiku #24
Like my appendix
You're buried inside of me
For no real reason

Deuces…
I enjoy saying goodbye to you
Watching you walk away is my favorite past time
Releasing my breath into the fullness of the space where you were standing feels great
Because the space where you were
Is empty
And that is the way i like it
Filled to the brim
With the sweet
Wonderful
Stillness

Nighttime Thoughts
I fell asleep last night
To the sound of your voice
Telling me
Im special
And rare
And that the sound of my laughter
Brings you joy
And reminds you
Of all that's right in the world
And makes your world bright
A smile crossed my lips
The way your kisses will
Someday
When we are finally
Resting quietly
In the same space
With the sound of your breath
Filling up my space
Rocking me to sleep
In the safety
Of these night time thoughts

Summertime
Your lips grazed the bareness of my shoulder
Replacing the moisture the sun sucked away
I turned my head slightly
Pausing from the poem i was writing
About you
To show you the corner of my smile
Purposely stroking your ego
To let you know i am pleased
To have you near me
