    Rise and fall, rise and fall, rise and fall… This is the rhythm the chest takes on to breathe. This is the same rhythm you take when you’re in love with someone. Rise and fall, rise and fall, rise and fall…

    As you slowly showed me it was okay for me to open up to you. I didn’t fear the free-fall anymore.  If I suffered bruises or breaks, I’d be okay with that.  I know you would be there to meet me at the bottom. Of all the wishes I made as a child I knew ...

    You give me comfort. When all I can see are grey skies, you make my smile shine bright again. In the dark, every time I start to feel fear you tell me you’re right here and to hold on and lean on you. You give me comfort. When I want to lose faith you hold ...

    Who needs to bring a knife to a gunfight, when all you have to do is leave your heart wide open? Hand them the match, what will they do? Will they let your heart go up in flames, and be consumed by the smoke inhalation, and turn to ash? Or will they give your heart ...

    I used to chase people like a child chases the moon. Then you came along, your subtle entrance made me go from chasing to floating on every cloud I saw. The child who used to chase the moon became a woman. Who now likes staying still in front of a love she waited so long ...

    The heat from your lips starts to warm my body from within, I arch my back from your gentle touch, The restraints kept me in place, I’m bounded to this bed by your aching love and your gentle touch.

    The nights find me heated Molten Feverish desire raking through Leaving me breathless Leaving me wanting Turning until my sheets rumple Dreams with visions of promise Sweet tormenting promise By the gods save me From this burn I can’t shake it The intensity of it all Sending me into a tailspin Out of control Until ...

    My heart to you, Is very much like the sea, The storms of my feelings for you, Flows around you like a huge tidal wave, In its depth, I’m washed over by your passionate love, My heart to you, It is like a seasoned ocean of blue…

    Yellow, orange, red lights never seen. A woman holds a bundle of sunflowers like she holds onto hope.  Hope the color of her eyes once.
