It feels like I’m losing my mind
every time you say goodnight
and I can’t hold you

Stay
who are you still running from, me or you?
Her Mind
Your beauty
is arousing
But your intelligence
is what ignites a fuse inside me
Go on, darling
& tell me all the things
that set your soul on fire
Not When It Comes to You
You draw the softness out of me
and for the first time in forever,
I don’t feel the desire to resist it
Until I See You
Nothing feels better
than counting the minutes,
instead of the miles.
Epiphany
I’m always searching for the eloquent words. The ones that elicit emotions and captivate the way i’m feeling.
When sometimes, the word i’m looking for is the simplest one of all.
Gezellig (h.b.)
Dutch: something or someone who elicits comfort, a sense of calmness, warmth, safety, joy, and happiness.
It wasn’t the first word that came to mind when I tried to explain the way I feel when I’m talking to you.
No, the first word I thought of was home.
Tangled Limbs & Souls
I just want to be where you are
wrap you up in my embrace
and entangle your soul
around my own
Cold Bed
I held you all night long.
But when I opened my eyes,
you were never really there.
Solitude
“Don’t leave me,” she whispered into the empty room, long after they were all gone.
Lightning Strike
Your fingertips
stroke my thigh,
And I feel the lightning
shoot all the way
up into my soul
Quite a fragile little thing, you are.
Dear February
Dear February,
Fill me.
Fill me with love, with joy, with patience.
With moments that make my heart flutter
With laughter that makes my belly ache
With friendships that make me softer
With delicacy and delight that
makes me feel alive.
Flicker
just like the candle
my flames danced vibrantly
but you were quick to blow me out
