thinking out loud

after so many breaks of my heart

i forgot the beauty in feeling 

how the beat of a song 

and the lyrics unfolding 

taking me to a place 

i thought was long forgotten

you whispered to the embers 

in this heart of mine

with tenderness and truth

without regards to anything 

but the here and now

setting the flame ablaze

your tender whispers and words of love 

have dismantled the fortress 

i have built 

brick 

by 

brick

patience and continuous love 

that has proven unquenchable 

brings me back to the core 

of that

beautiful 

raw

knowing

feeling 

that comes straight from your belly. 

letting me know that 

true unashamed love exists

today

in the here and now. 

you...

you...
with your soft and contagious smile
with a splash of mischief and innocence
you
with your spirit aglow and your heart on your sleeve
and your head held high and your confidence beaming
you
that passes the mirror and doesnt pay it no mind
that knows it's not who you are just your reflection
you
who loves with her whole being
and seeks out the hidden things that make others special
you
who embraces your so called flaws as miraculous beauty
that shows others how lovely their uniqueness is
you
who shines bright on the darkest of days
and embraces her shadows with love and light
you
over there
i.see.you.

wild moon

for this chilly night

with blankets pilled high

and 

the choir of crickets 

singing their songs

my eyelids trying to stay open

to get one last glimpse 

of this beautiful moon

my soul and mind at peace 

ready for sweet slumber

as i drink in one last drop 

of your wildly brilliant light
