every time…

the way you carry that energy
when you come close…

it’s my undoing, every time.

i think maybe
i’ve already loved you
in a million different ways,
through different timelines,
and there’s this way
we always, yet never align,
like we test this parallel, and run
before we collide

– the way souls dance

– butterflies rising

if they love you,
they will love the way
you fall in love with yourself,
and life, and them,
and everything beautiful

tell me how
the mountains give you peace
and the ocean makes you restless,
of the poetry you read
and the song you fall asleep with,
any fear that makes you bleed
and every dream that breaks you open,
this is what i want to know,
this is how my heart falls

– butterflies rising

tell me the poetry you read and the song
you fall asleep with… all the art, the words,
the songs that shift you. this is what i want
to know. this is how my heart falls.

tell me how
the mountains give you peace
and the ocean makes you restless,
about the poetry you read
and the song you fall asleep with…
i want to know the art, the words,
the songs that shift you,
and all those fears that make you bleed
and the dreams that break you open…
what’s in your heart
and what’s in your head…
this is what i want to know,
this is how my heart falls.
