You were a vision

A hazy dream that I couldn’t stop thinking about

Unattainable, crazy, wonderful thoughts

Yet here we are

The dream is a reality, but a surreal one

How?

I’m not sure

But you stand before me and I wonder

How lucky are we?

We have the entire galaxy in favor

I know you wished for me

And I certainly wished for you

Now we stand, hand in hand

Conquering our tribulations

Gazing deep into our souls

Love shining in every glance

Memories

Dancing around my every thought; around my every move

The 21 guns echo out of my mind

They repeat like my favorite record

I can still see the lights, and the ocean

I can still hear the music playing

I can still feel the smoothness of your hands, the warmth of your arm

Or the graze of your fingers

All of this on a constant loop

We make new memories, reels of our times to re-play when I miss you

The moments that make me want to marry you

I love the days we spend together

I wrap each one up like a gift and tuck it away

Until we regenerate the memories

Even then-

I still remember, and smile at the old ones

While basking in the glory of our future

You adore pretty things and witty words

So I give them, exponentially to you

We wanted to be the sky

So I give you the light of a thousand stars

You wanted me to yourself  

So I scooped myself into your arms and made me your queen

We waltzed through the days, silly with happiness

So we made a vow

Never to part

Death does no justice

It bites and stings, but never kills

Not us; not the true pair

You have your head in the clouds, feet on the ground

So I floated up there with you

Never wanting to look back

Remember when we first met?

And the sky was a deep midnight color

And all of the sounds around us became muffled and unreal

I drifted to sleep on your lap; safe in the haven of your touch

Remember when you first kissed me?

Our lips creating a spark that would spread into the fire that now rages in my soul

We kissed again and again since then

Each time I fell more and more in love with you

Remember when you looked at me?

With more love than a mother puts into her child

Like I was the most beautiful thing on this earth

So you told me so

Remember what you told me?

¨If I ever make you uncomfortable, tell me and I´ll change.¨

That is when I knew

Something inside me sparked

Whether it be from your kiss or your emerald eyes

I knew that you and I would be perfect

Remember that I will always love you

“Let’s travel the world together” he says to me

“How?” I question

He wraps his warm hands around mine and whispers “I’ll show you”

The world around us fades into a swirl of shapes and colors

A milky abyss compared to the vividness of our bodies, now intertwined peacefully

He becomes a mess of colors; just like I saw him in my head

I look down at my chest that is covered in stars; midnight blue replaces my pale skin

The moon hangs above our heads

She watches us just like always

The sweet touch of his embrace lights a fire inside my soul

I stare at the world through his eyes

He strokes my hair, particles of his colorfulness seep through

Healing each broken part of me, until I break them open again

I put my hand on his cheek, caressing it until I can make the stars shine brighter than my heart

We stand, swirling in the galaxy

Never wanting to leave the gentle dream that was each other

I lift my head off his shoulder, my falling tears stained a rainbow hue

I am forever changed by his touch, his eyes, his colors

And he forever changed by my sparkle, delight, and midnight gaze

We begin to pull away

Rainbow tears still falling from my eyes

The moon safely nestled in his arm

“The world wasn’t ready for us” he murmurs

I reach out my star covered hand, in hopes of finding him again

But we had traveled the world together

What more could I do?

“I was”

My whisper glides off my lips and echoes through time and space

Forever

Our embrace comes to a bittersweet end

Just like always

Your smell tingles my nose like the fragrance of a flower

My whisper is invisible to you

But vivid and desperate to me

I am singing out for requited love

I long for your arms and your life

I think you long for me too

Our embrace is ignited by the stars

Just like our love

I didn’t want to let you go, I still don’t

You are not gone, nor am I

But our embrace is over and I long for its sweetness

Every moment

“Come back soon”

My whisper dances through the galaxy once more

I hope you can hear my love this time

Darkness

Shrouded and unable to slip away for too long

I see a light at the end of my tunnel of despair

It is you

My aching hands cannot reach far enough

Why is it that I can never seem to grasp enough of you?

An all time low, only to be revived by you

Yanked up, vision swimming, head almost clear

Not clear until I am with you

When I am home

In your arms I am home; safe

The heavy weight that dampens my soul,

Turns away when you come near

How?

A simple glance to carry me back to the stars

For such a time until I hurt again

Hurting that torments and trembles

Pain that rains down on my chest like a heavy storm

When I drown, I try not to take you with me

For who will bring me up again?

I am floating in a shallow pool

Not swimming, or sinking

Floating

Wishing for your celestial universe to reach me again

Wishing to be saved by your touch

Yet I float in an underwater world

Looking through that rose colored lens

Why?

I want to take it off but I know no other way

“Help”

My silent cries are muffled by the songs of the air

You used to hear me loud and clear

But now I am back underwater; helpless

You are scared, almost as much as myself

Sorry

I know you are scared not of me

But of the water

Green

I feel swirls of green when we kiss

Not viewed as an envious thing; but pure and happy

I see green in your emerald eyes

A feeling of euphoric wonder

Suddenly I am back in darkness

Black and blues suffocating me

I cannot get their stained handprints off my neck

Let me hold you now

I cannot see

Help me get out of the woods

You are sitting in the fields; content

And when you aren’t, I can’t help

Dizzy, tired, struggling

In the darkness I glow

Radiating green hues

Dyed anew because of your love  

Simon says, “Silence like a cancer grows”

The silence is a comfortable one

We sit in the darkness and silence

And we feel a silent radiation

One that could fuel an existence, and it does

But sometimes time can hurt

Silence and time aching to be infused  

The echoes of the past resonate in my empty heart

I need you to fill it

Fill it with sweet music

The silence is growing

I am crying out, everyday

But the silence has become too strong for you to hear

I miss you

Come back out of your deafening silence

Let's make it comfortable again

You are a vision

Something that dances in my most precious memories

A wisp of tranquility

Fully drowned in the sorrows of my peers

I drift in the moon river

Still searching for the beginning

The light to bring me home

You have done a great service

Please don’t stop

I never want to feel lost again

Side by side we conquer the galaxy

Searching for our ghost of time

Stars explode with passion that light my darkness

Keep reminding me why I love you

Life gets hard

I need stability; you stabilize me

You walked me down the road of new beginnings

Never letting go of my hand for too long

I love you dearly for that

Traveling through the darkness, and out of the murky waters

Into a new hope, a beam of contentedness

The dark clouds part, I can see the stars again

I can see you; arms wide open

“Welcome home”

The soft air that is my voice strolls off my tongue

And leaps back into the galaxy

Right where it belongs
