like molasses

your mouth tasted like molasses
but you resuscitated me regardless.

and all my air seems different now,
a lot slower than it's
ever felt before.

but I write these words with honesty
because you deserve my truths:

That I never breathed a single breath,

till.I.shared.air.with.you.

tsunami word vommy

when i write it comes in waves.
sometimes i'm tearing at the seams.
sometimes i have so many words flowing from my brain through my arms and out my fingertips.
like each letter has it's own little soul.

but other times, i can't write a thing.
i become this vault full of one liners
because thats as far as my creativity will take me.

i feel like high tide is coming though,
and soon i'll fill the earth with everything
i left inside of me
for times when i might let myself forget
that it really doesn't get much better than this.




[i dont.]

starry night

its dark.
but my hand finds yours
as if it were as bright as heaven.

while we walked,
your lips found mine
as if we had sewn magnets into them.

not a stumble
not a break not a crack
in our steps.

while you laughed in the night
i watched your hair - glistening
from just the right amount of moonlight.
and
as our laces tread the sidewalk,
i prayed this night would last forever.

-but as you drove away
out of sight

i prayed for morning
and yet another
starry night.
