Wrapped in your lips,

I see the truth,

A glowing lamp post in the night,

-My exposed depths sit upon a throne

Love, poems Alexis Elcox Love, poems Alexis Elcox

Secret melody

You complete the melody

That I didn't know I needed

Your affection is a song

That I didn't need to logically learn,

It was already written in the heart

Like a secret diary just for me and you

The piano keys made me think

That black and white was life

But I didn't truly feel the music

Until you showed me

That it was okay to spread out my wings

And find the harmony

Like it was a lost artifact

Never truly lost

But it stood before me

And the filter of judgement

Clouded my sight

We have a secret melody

Only we can hear

Love, poems Alexis Elcox Love, poems Alexis Elcox

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

A space of healing

When two hearts collide

To become one entity,

It feels like a soft wave

Running over the body

Creating a space of healing

A rare type of medicine

That speaks to souls

Who carry the remnants

Of purity and love

Deep within their veins

No logic exists

But the body knows

The tears that build up

Is the response of a sensitive soul

Aligning with the energy

Of what it once knew

In a world that didn't have density

Merry go round

I feel like I drown in a lake filled with thoughts

That are not entirely mine

I remember how it felt to have your lips

Kiss my ear

As if you were claiming me as your own

I've gotten used to clinging on the merry go round

Of people pleasing

Afraid to break free from the loop

But I don't notice you choking me

With your streams of control,

Until I read your gaze

To find that you secretly love

When I fall helplessly into your palms

Like you planned for us to meet again

Except now I find myself in the void

On whether to accept your advances

Or push you away

As if a dirty filter covers my heart,

And I can no longer hear it

Fiery glow

I undoubtedly showed my heart

Not knowing how you would respond

As the colors in the sky

Resemble how I feel

When the heat rises

A fiery glow

That only you bring out of me

I swim in a pool of a fantasy

Where you and me

Become lovers

I try to wipe away

My feelings as if it was an annoying bug

That I could get rid of if I tried

In your presence, my walls cannot hold,

And my heart seeps through the cracks
