The Corner of Me & You

I don't know if you felt it or not
but it felt like two people kissing
after hours of thinking about it.


It felt like two people talking
after nights of silence.

It felt like two people touching

after weeks of numbness.

It felt like two people facing each other

after months of looking away.

It felt like two people in love 

after years of being alone.

And it felt like two people knowing each other

after a lifetime of meeting each other.

Happy Birthday

"Ever happy never sad" his tombstone read

in crimson and tears I etched 

"Own life taken, mask broken too late"

Happy Birthday Kay

It begins

Light is just beginning to seep into my room

It gives shape to furniture, Illuminates calendars on the walls, and faintly smears a trace of gold onto the brass of my bed.

Outside stirring birds are beginning to sing themselves awake with liquid voices.

I glance at the time on my phone. I do not check for mail although I desperately want to. But it is early. And anyway, messages will keep me awake.

I hope that you have written.

I feel my body stir and my heart yearn and I bury my head into the pillows with a sigh.

I begin to slide back into sleep. You are not there, but I feel you next to me. The heat of you. The scent of you. Your skin soft against my mine. I feel your back against my chest. 

You whisper something soft and beautiful but I hardly catch the words.

I feel you dissolving into me.

We are floating away,

My alarm sounds urgently.

My day begins.

Incediary

How can one define attraction?

I look at you and I am entranced.

A beautiful face. A gorgeous body.

A clever, creative, independent mind.

A generous heart. A beautiful soul.

I do not know if the rest of the world sees you as I see you.

I do not care.

To me you are so incendiary

you could burn your way

out of Hell
