Reconfortant

Please…
Do not fear the fluttering within your chest
Do not fear the inescapable, untold future.
Embrace the weightless wings attached to your spine;
Lifting you higher than even Memories.

What is the feeling of Bliss?
The warmth and prickle of lovers’ hands,
Surrendering to the tender harness of Winter.

Eternal Flame
We will both ache, whether we kiss or not
So let us be like sakura petals—
Bright, short-lived instances of Life,
Immortalized in the brief flash of an ashen moth.

4:11 am
Soft, warm lips, caress my own in the dark
And the poison in my head is released.
Memory.
Until reaching my heart
I collapse,
Relapse,
Into a time when
We once were.

I am tired of wasting hour by hour
Remembering what was and
Contemplating what could be.
I want to be done with Time,
There is no beginning, end, or middle
To the feeling you give me.

January 4
The cars lazily glide by, illuminating our Loneliness;
You beneath your hood, and I behind my eyes.
The cold night plucks at our heartstrings:
Our steps wander closer.
For brief moments we stand still,
Completely immersed in Hesitation.
As our minds and hearts battle.

---

Kiss In The Night
Lips meet
Just as our fingers do
Hearts pumping faster
As our hands glide slower.
Heated breaths
Exchanged in gasps.
Caressing, ever so slowly,
Leading us
Into a euphoric sleep.
