It rests on the counter through the night while I lay restless, yearning for dawn’s first light Finally the time arrives to be with my mug, wrapped in my palms so warm and snug Its perfect curves and textured bands make it feel like we are holding hands It carries the ideal amount of caffeine bliss No offense to my partner, but sometimes it’s my day’s first kiss The way the handle gently presses up against my finger Oh, I wish this moment could forever linger There are times when once just isn’t enough We had tried to take a break, but it was just too tough We found each other at the market only three years ago True love at first sight when I spotted you sitting in the front row I fill your cup and you fill my heart, but the mournful morning moment is when we must part
Forming the sequencing of thoughts was difficult to find, but the words still fell from the tangled web of my mind They tumbled through the air and rested on your ear It is the truth you finally hear In a luxury as lovely as satin lays honesty Pure in intention, molded from modesty Pride was just small enough to swallow and not choke Wishing for words to be taken back is as within your gasp as swirling smoke
I felt like my life was barreling towards eviction Then you showed up giving those frayed thoughts friction Expressing a language I didn’t even know I could diction Making me question all previous convictions My best high soared to another elevation I am forever grateful of you unveiling this revelation
coffee breath and bed head curtains can stay drawn, no sunlight needs to be shed flannel pajama pants and baggy shirt the laziest days make it the easiest to flirt clouds roll in and thunder starts to sing it’s been long understood that this is more than a fiery fling our vulnerability exposed and fully accepted calm in the chaos and united in the unexpected our love erases any thoughts soaked in vain I could spend a lifetime with you dancing the rain
He loves me, he loves me not
childish relics wasn’t something she usually sought
He loves me, he loves me not
but she was left confused after they last fought
He loves me, he loves me not
what would their life be like if he never got caught
He loves, he loves me not
were those stacked lies something she would have blindly bought
He loves me, he loves me not …
the last peddle falls to the ground and she knows it’s delicate fate will rot
So, she shrugged and turned with a smile For the truth had been there all the while
An out of body experience is how it is described I could breath easily, my soul revived Temptation shattered the tension filled space Melding movements causing synesthetic perceptions as our bodies interlaced You filled the world with chromatic scenes that were so foreign Now these painted memories have blurred and forever remain closed in The star filled sky isn’t even wise enough to know how this will unfold A place once so magical has dulled since my love for you remains untold
Deep shivers melt The warmth of the sun is finally felt Ice is chipped from my bones Breeze carries the cardinals boastful tones My clouded mind has thawed flowing like a clear spring My frigid lockjaw finally parts enough, so I can hear my heart sing It has been dark harrowing winter Time to sew my soul that this harsh season let splinter
