Stolen

You steal my mind,
You steal my heart,
My soul.

All is yours.

Possession

A heart filled with such love, it aches.

I shall not taint this by claiming you.

Tranquility

Your suffering boils to the surface.

Feverish, you look at me— 
face glistening, coated with a clear film. 

My heartbeat quickens to match yours 

as I reach to cradle your face with my icy hands.

Secret

Holding in the declaration--
The air seeps out, longing to reach your ears.
In silence, you slowly drift away.
Your absence is deafening.

Recognition

I meet you, stranger.
You seem familiar, lover.
I’ve known you all along, beloved.

Illumination

The sun sets, allowing the moon to take over the throne of illumination, dominating the Earth’s sky. You close your eyes as sleep takes over your senses. My gaze falls to your face, which summons a light within to match the brilliance of the stars.

Sweet dreams.

Love

Swiftly and gently,
I fall,
Into your soul’s harbor.
You reel me in for safe keeping.
