forever off the corner of your smile…

i’m such an easy mark for the way that
forever is such a pretty word off
the corner of your smile

– butterflies rising

love,
from a deep ache, that steals breath…
entangled hands and skin and
wild rebellion

– butterflies rising

the stretching of his heart walls…
and all those flowers growing
from his chest

– butterflies rising

give me
the tender and the fire.
i want the angst and ache
and wild mess.
all of it broken open,
nothing less.
because there’s just nothing else
that can disarm me like that.
it completely takes me apart…
a man’s passion and
raw vulnerability,
the stretching of his heart walls
and all those flowers growing
from his chest.

– butterflies rising

the stretching of your heart walls and all those flowers growing from your chest.

give me
your tender and your fire…
all of it broken open, nothing less.
the stretching of your heart walls and all those
flowers growing from your chest.

– butterflies rising

give me your tender and your fire. your angst
and ache and wild mess. all of it broken open,
nothing less. i want passion and raw vulnerability…
the stretching of your heart walls and all those
flowers growing from your chest.
