Close to you

Wanting to get close to you

Feels like I am standing before

A bridge hugged by flames,

As the ink filled depths swim with violent creatures

I hear the swords clashing

And the people screaming in agony

But all I can hear is your voice

Your silhouette covers my sight

My eyes only follow you

And I allow the whisper of desire

To lead me right across the bridge

Where my skin is scorched

But my heart feels warmer

And I can only ignore the aching drought

I want you

Complex riddle

You are a complex riddle

That I constantly try to convince myself

Not to solve

Because pain lies on the other side

And I don't know if I can handle it

My heart wants to keep beating

For the moments filled with the sound of your laughter

And the times when teasing melts the ice

That has shielded you

From showing your true self

One single kiss

Is enough to send me inside a delusion

Of my own doing

To feel that I've escaped the ache

For a love that may never appear in reality

Distance doesn't rule us

I thought I could keep the wall built around me,

A fortress that wasn't supposed to move

No matter what disaster threatens it

But your vulnerability

Makes it sway

On the verge of falling

It's not enough to be your partner

You chose for a play

I want to be your real partner,

Where distance doesn't rule us

And the stars wave

As if they see us both

For who we are

The waiting game

Yearning for you

Becomes hard when life moves us

In our own unique solo dance

The waiting game

That seeks to stifle the flames

Our souls created together

To find meaning behind

The word

Love

I had two feet nestled between two realms

The realm where I waited for you

As the days became nights

And the seasons pushed through

Or the realm where I acted on the desire

To keep you by my side

Even when your soul wanted you to fly

Love has never been easy,

But it gently holds the space

For every part of us

Your Orbit

I thought that it would be

Enough to be in your orbit

Like a distant star

Created to protect you from harm

There’s a door between us

That we chose to open

Even when the ground underneath

Was likely to crumble

The door in my heart wanted to remain closed

Because the empty dark rooms

I found myself inside were what I was used to

But the heart grew tired

For it wanted to expand

The door broke open

The dam collapsed

And my words flowed like a river that was finally able to move freely

I realized that I was always meant to dance with you

Close enough to where our hearts

Felt safe enough to unravel themselves

And bask in the warmth of the sun
