Him: Moonlights and touch

‘How can I live without you’ he thought while envisioning the stripper that he loved.He replayed the conversation they had a couple of nights ago and the many conversations before that. It was all a blur. What stuck to him was how they made him feel, and what he felt was that he needed her.Like

Filled

I stopped talkingI stopped thinking; filled with the rain of youpouring out of myselfI stopped wantingwhile getting everything I wantedand then wanting some morelike all the spaces needing to be filledall the air particles needing to be touched, and turnedthe entire world needing to be touchedgripped by my hands and feltbecause you encompass it

Sea of men

Trying to find you among them in this march that doesn’t stop each shoulder that turns around; a different face Not you Not you Not you Sea of pain floating here sinking in rain

Tree leaves help create paradise

Tree leaves in a forest produce moisture, and that moisture accumulates into air and entices rain. This process is called “transpiration.” That’s how planting trees can replenish, de-desertify, and bring life into barren lands.

With you

Like rain clouds

Won’t sleep tonight thinking about your soft hair like rain clouds… I understand that things are slow and your heart beats weighed and heavy while I bloom in orange, before you stay quiet, speak to me in silences like you do times are gloomy like the rain, I know this path before us; it’s faux,

Smell of plastic in the rain

The night is wild It’s all game You’re standing in your jacket on the beach in the rain There’s newfound jolt in me that wants to abrase the arms of your jacket And breathe in its plastic freshness Burying my face in the cold wet shell of you How strong you feel, through and through

Our oasis

I’d go to the end of the world for you babe. To the core of this great old rock, high up in the sky, whatever you want me to say. I’ll say it. Our story’s mapped out in the palms of our hands, and when we place them together, the stars align. We’d live in

My man, embedded in a leaf

Caught up in this fire brigade I forget where you are sometimes Behind the tree leaves Of a distant paradise It’s where I want you belonging Free and happy Viable and beautiful No gray clouds cast over your skies Limitless possibilities Smiling, playing with rocks I just want to see you happy Like this It’s

Us in the rain

I don’t care if it’s the rain If I can kiss you and hold you, it’s fine In the silent raindrops is when my heart speaks loudest The pitter patter shuns all else around us The misty haze obscures all vision Your skin glows, all hidden Got you in my arms Everything else doesn’t matter

Love it

Summer’s just begun and it hasn’t ended yet. Let’s go walk in the warm rain baby. Let’s hold hands and goof around. I wish we could be naked; there’s no one around. But you never know who can come up, so let’s wear our shirts real thin. Let’s smile and look up at the sky,

Stepping into the rain drops with my cat

You wouldn’t expect a rainy, cold, dark day around summer time. Everything’s back to freezing, and I hate having to wear winter clothes that I’ve put aside once more. The cat himself is a bit confused and is circling around not knowing what to do. I pick him up and smother him with love, and

Season of rain

It’s the season of rain I’m unable to say much, and neither can you As you barely greet me with a speechless, subtle smile. This silence could be awkward If we weren’t so keen on getting lost In each other. It could be minutes if we let it, But I believe I just saw the

Your love for me, my love for you

Your love for me is like smooth sailing and drifting across a vast, infinite ocean of love My love for you is a tight embrace under a rain of nails while we kiss.

Pedestal

I put you on a pedestal, With fighting fish crawling under the mud at your feet In a serene place enchanted with greenery Where the rain drops with fragrant flowers All around you, and at your feet Where the monkeys laugh and play in swings atop balconies, And the dragon snake slithers through the skies
