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

Read More →love like breathing…
i think love is breath…
you breathe in, and come close,
and feel this, and feel me,
and feel it all,
and it takes you all in…
so you breathe out, and step back,
and feel you, and feel it all,
and take yourself in…
until you breathe in again
i think there has to be that breathing,
there have to be those exhales…
that space to take in new air and to
breathe back into yourself
i just think there’s breathing,
i think love should feel like breathing

at 3am when
my heart is too restless.
when my. heart. feels…
like life has to hold more than this.
it has to. because i feel you.
in ways i don’t understand
but, somehow… understand.
like some sort of north light,
or that fallen star at 11:11
when i wish,
when i breathe in
and it feels like light,
when i breathe out
and all the heavy i’ve ever known just… fades.
all these little ways that i. feel. you.
and you’re not here.
but you’re everywhere.
you’re in everything.

with you.
you were an imprint here
before we touched wild skin.
you were a feeling. a sense.
and now
you’re an instinct. a gravity.
with. you.
my heart has no defense.
i feel chemicals with you.
my skin remembers you.
and when our bodies have to
untangle and let this life turn over
you’ll be just a feeling
and just a sense…
but only until
we’re skin to skin again.

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

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

Read More →how you look at
me makes me wonder…
where do i belong if not right here.
right next to you.
breathing in all the life
under these stars until this
world ends

your senses in that kind of love…
you just get wrapped up in so much sweet
and you don’t ever want to come undone.
