Your chilled heart
Races through the wind
To surround me.
Your tender kisses
On my cheeks melt,
A lingering damp greeting.
Let me warm you
As I mold your body
With my fingertips
Until the chill makes them numb-
You’re so beautiful,
I can’t resist the urge
To touch.
Age allows vanity-
Put your best face forward
And show your grace and grin.
Feeling like a million bucks
With someone else’s hair.
It’s the only way I knew you
And you were loving
And perfect.
What a shock that those faux locks
Weren’t yours,
But it changed nothing.
It’s been years,
And yet, I wonder…
Were you buried whole
Or is your pièce de résistance missing?

I wonder
What my life would be
Had I never met you.
It would have been bliss
Not to endure
The lie, fights, pain
And ignorance.
But where would I be today
If I hadn’t been
By your side
When no one else was?
Would I know how
To support myself and others?
Would I love to teach growth?
Would I love to heal
Tender wounds with tender words?
Are these traits
Ingrained in me
Or were they gifts from the past?

Words cannot express
The feeling that loss creates
When it inhabits your bones.
Who do you call
Who do you turn to
When there is no one to see your pain?
What do you say
When there are no words
For how you feel?

Our visit was brief
But necessary.
It was good to
Get back to my roots-
Seeing you
Brought back so many memories.
Hearing you call out to me
Made me feel like a toddler
Stumbling over their feet
When they’re learning to walk,
But trusting
That you’ll be there
To catch them
When they fall.
Thank you for reminding me
Of who I am-
The strength I was born with.
Our bittersweet goodbyes
Will not last forever.
I leave,
Walking away
With sand trailing behind me,
But turn back
For one last glance.
Just in time
To watch you wave.

Everything glitters
From motion
From life.
Watch the world
Move around us
As we sit in silence
Thinking about time.
The time when
We discussed the page
We were on
In the book
Of our relationship,
And we ageed
On page 314.
Or when we drove
Through the night
Straight ’til morning
And we struggled
To stay awake together
But pulled through
To watch the sunrise.
We’ve seen so many
Sunrises
And sunsets
And city lights.
And here we are
Watching the lights blur
Past us in a flurry
As we sit
Picture perfect
With my head on your shoulder
And your arm around my waist
Pulling me close
Holding me tight
Forever frozen
In this moment.

I yearn to be in your presence,
Feel the warmth you provide
Just from being near.
Cleanse my soul
While I drink in your essence
Upon my return
And soak you in.
I promise to visit soon
And we’ll converse
In our own language-
A code
Made up
Of whispers and secrets-
I’ll tell you of all my travels
And listen to your tales
Of everything you’ve witnessed
From around the world.
I can’t wait to see you again…
I’ll catch a glimpse of you in the distance
And you’ll wave,
Just like you always do,
Welcoming me home.
