Verbatim

I thought I'd gotten over this addiction But your subtle diction Causes friction In my state of tranquility It's true, you're something of a drug to me Every breath of your ecstacy Inspires me Makes me crave you next to me Makes me want you to see I've grown to be a higher me A higher key Than the octave I was on before Sweetest melody I hum whenever I'm bored And I begin to wander to thoughts of you once more I can feel your energy so near Tenderly re-entering my atmosphere Like foreign waters One step away from our next falter So you can flow from me again Manifestation of our reincarnation With every time we 'end' My heart revels in the growth Of our back and forth Forever lovers guised as friends

He paints me in hues Of watercolor skies My body, his canvas, Stroked gently By the strands of his eyes Had I ever known true love like this? Forbidden touch Of Moon and Sun Nightly blessed By his goodbye kiss

You grip the world beneath your fingertips Reminding yourself To always hang on No matter how you start to slip Seemingly insane Yet never too far gone away You travel place to place Touching everyone With the warmth of the sun Emanating with elated radiance Gravitational The way we dance Sensational The energy exchanged between our hands Your laugh could fill a room with smiles Resonating your inner child I've been searching for you in years and miles Just to transcend both time and space I find the answers to the universe Written across your face Living language in the form of pencils and paint The world is your canvas Beckoning for the brush of your existence

I wake up dizzied by thoughts of you Circling round Like a knock out, Then I spend the rest of the day Icing away the pain Bumps and bruises on my decrepit heart Riddled like graffiti street art In stitches and scars, You itch my idea of wholeness How your gaze holds me like a spotlight In the warmth of your fleeting affection I've never known this kind of attention And I long for the days of ignorance Before making your acquaintance Before initiating this Back and forth dance Of readiness Unsteadiness Of hoping to bask in your loveliness To waking thoughts of how much I'm dreading this Love me, love me not Petals dismembered Like limbs from my lifeless body Hoping maybe someday You'll land on "love me" This hope remains My heartache's only remedy Echoing in masochistic melody Bloody and still outliving the disappointment of our yesterday

Let me be your mirror So I can reflect my favorite parts of you I know you struggle to see Disenchant you of your ego So you can find beauty even in every broken piece Mosaic, melancholy Your story is not that of fairy tales Eyes turned towards the sea With neither wind nor holes amidst your sails Calm waters, prepare for tumult and storm Nourishing secret gardens, You'd rather walk amongst your thorns Taste of sweetest nectar Kept hidden like Eden's lush They try to drown themselves in your fruitful touch You question your ability to trust The fragility of yonic lust The stars have never been too big To satiate your captivated gaze Navigating this celestial maze Just to live amongst their haze Stardust fractal debris I wish that you could stay Gravitating towards me.. The way Moon dances in every phase Dark circles traced Spinning nights into daze I am the ocean calm rippling at the sight Of your beauty, So close lingering in the sky I could almos...

I don't know why People refer to being in love as falling... I was steady on the rise when we met And I haven't descended yet Instead I got you and the sky reacquainted - rs.darko

I knew it would be hard to open up again For fear my petals would fall away One by one Like tears, Like days.. They stopped feeling precious and I grew restless, Shaking them off even further Now bare and broken Scared To open up again I could never imagine Someone would care Enough to actually listen.. But you touch me like a warm summer day Flooding my pores with comforting rays Soaking into my outstretched Chlorophylled tips Telling me it's my choice to go or stay "But please don't leave.." Pleading Not to fall away from love completely The way school kids drag their feet After a long game of baseball in the street Still they come back every afternoon by three Warmed up and ready To play again It's so easy for us to jump into games of pretend Thinking love is the answer When really you just need a friend Someone you can talk to who makes you feel like you can be open Not in a way that is scary, Nor overbearing, But in a ...
