it feels like you…

there’s this
beating in my heart,
and it sounds like you.
and this ache. in. my. chest…
it feels like you.

– butterflies rising

let your head quiet,
go where your heart sways

– butterflies rising

i want to
tangle with you,
and fall into you,
and feel all of you,
your breath, your skin,
your hands, your heart,
your everything…

all of it, all of you,
all around me

– butterflies rising

sometimes
we love
in fingertip touch…
and it’s
just as close as
we can get

– butterflies rising

i only know
how to crave
skin against skin
and my heart against
a chest
like a fingerprint

– butterflies rising

i love in heartbeats,
slow and sweet, so sweet,
and hard, and reckless,
and racing, and so close,
maybe too close…
so then running,
and reaching, and aching,
but in heartbeats, everything,
all of it, in heartbeats

– butterflies rising

Wildfire Heart…

it’s breathtaking,
how your heart spills out of you
so achingly soft, and so chaotically unsure,
but as if the entire world catches fire
and you’re wanting to just be
so in love with it all
