That first kiss split my lip,
as the strength of your passion
knocked the wind out of me.
I was a fish out of water,
until your love filled an ocean between us,
gasping gills revert back to lungs filling with sonnets
as you build a bridge between our consciousness.
We sprouted & took root together,
becoming out own entity.
My branches grew to shade yours,
and your roots grew to steady us both.
Your skin is an addiction,
I long to taste in your absence.
I crave the stardust in your soul,
the same stardust that brought me to life.

Hall of mirrors
Things used to matter, before all the noise. And at that time when things still had meaning, there had been dreaming too, when dreams still mattered. And the brightest dream from those times was full of mountains and seas and smiles and the types of passion that absorbs you the way a dog is absorbed by witnessing something for the first time: with absolute presence, and awe.
