if it comes
close to you,
it has to be destiny-colored
and deep. souled.
there is too much gold in that skin
for anything but sure hands
to touch it.
there is too. much. fire. in that chest…
they’ve got to dance with your wildness
and play in your beautiful mess
and drip wild poetry on your lips
with their kiss.
if it comes close to you,
it has to feel like this.
nothing less.

i just know…
it’s soft next to you.
it’s safe if i come close.
and there’s destiny here,
there’s meant-to-be
in your hands.
and you don’t have
to say a thing,
it’s in the way i’m shifted…
you just walk in,
and my heart beats different.

if it needs you small, don’t let it hold you anymore.
don’t let anything that needs you ordinary
tame you ever again.

i want to fall
into that beautiful life
into the soft spaces
into the glow
where there’s moonlight
where there’s soul light
and where it means
something if you come close
and let your heart beat
against mine

your standards for love are going to make some
people uncomfortable. and they will try to make
you feel like those standards are too high.
i think it’s because those standards threaten
their comfort zones.
what you believe in either challenges how they treat
people… or how they’ve accepted being treated.
but none of that is about you.
this is your own life. and it will be your own love
and your own heart. so don’t ever let anyone make
you question your own standards…
keep them high.

what you believe in either challenges

keep them high.

i love all those little
pretty, dirty edges where you play…
so beautiful and wild all at once.

the way you feel, how you are,
who you are… i’m just drawn to you.

the way the
sunlight danced on her skin
and stardust lived in her eyes…
he knew he’d never want
to look away
