I crave your skin
I want to read your abs like braille
feel my way through the moments of your life
hear you sigh in exploration
while I read the future in your cerulean eyes
stars glide across the indigo sky
while the night passes into quiet twilight
the sound of your breathing a calming soundtrack
as our lives entwine
you voice pulls me deeper
into your embrace
and my heart unlocks the door.

I have a new phone and lost all my old contact info.
So if you want me to be able to reach you, leave a comment and they will be screened.

life came crashing down on me
I'm battered and bruised
coming up from my knees
accessing my surroundings
i won't bend to defeat
my future is shining
right in front of me
and i can't stop
til i reach my destiny
you can't hold me back
or break my resolve
you won't break my will
when i want it all
and I'll keep fighting
with every drop that i bleed.

grey skies cling
and I'm shivering
did I lose you last night
without a kiss goodbye
to warm on my lips
don't leave me here
contemplating
what a life would mean
without you
I'm not sure
if I could breathe
when the sweet redemption
of your loving arms
is all I need.
