Verbatim

I am plagued by thoughts of loneliness Though I am not alone I have my son, I have my friends, I have my work, And I have a community which loves and fulfills me... But in this moment, I don't have you I told myself I would never want to possess nor restrict you from the very world which made me fall for you, And I don't... So when I say "have" I guess what I really mean to say is "half" 'Cause that's exactly how much of myself feels missing in your absence Since I've met you, (Like truly met you with all eyes open) I feel insatiable for your presence I see now why they call gifts presents because to be truly present in another's life is one of the greatest gifts the universe could bestow upon an individual It's in these thoughts that I meet you once again You could be anywhere in the world, and you are, But tonight, I selfishly keep the thought of you closely to my heart Resounding in my mind Giving me peace in wholen...

Sleeping angel I could see you from any angle With a mess of curls Entangled Around my fingers I start to drift and linger Half sleep demon Half teddy The sun's creeping up I'm not ready Consciousness Peaks behind two heavy lids Funny how our bodies seem To always perfectly fit Maybe just a little bit squished But I could stay here for hours Deep in our cuddle Christening you with my infamous drool puddle Nothing subtle about The way you've knocked me out With the comfort of your touch Warm bodies beckoning Like the pull of the sun Still I'm as stubborn as the moon As she stalls to leave No rush in stirring We stay flirting in between Rising and hiding In a veil of sleep
