fire…

everything in you
is meant to be felt by someone
who loves as raw in their nerves
and as full in their blood,
and could never be unaffected by you

– fire

people who love
passionately are meant to
be loved passionately

– butterflies rising

the way you carry that energy
when you come close…

it’s my undoing, every time.

– butterflies rising

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

– butterflies rising

you and i…
we’re meant to live in wild opens

– butterflies rising

let me
wander with
the ones who are
tangled in stars
and tethered
to promise

– dreamers

– butterflies rising

it makes it harder to love people
when you won’t let yourself
have faith in them

– butterflies rising

i’m learning
to love the way
my name settles
in silence
before i can love
how it falls
from another’s
mouth

– this love story first.

– butterflies rising

dear heart,
why do you run from the
things that give you a pulse

…don’t fear what makes you feel

– butterflies rising

i don’t need
fancy ways
and shiny things,
give me
slow hands,
honest eyes,
and full attention
with ease

…give me priceless things.

– butterflies rising

reach into
my heart through
the bones of my chest
and uncover it all…
feel anything that’s there
and breathe easy.

– the way honesty feels

– butterflies rising
