Dance with Me

There is a wind

that whisks me off 

to you.

I twist and twirl,

soar and swirl.

I will not lay

until I've bridged.

When I graze your cheek,

like fingertips

or soft lips,

dissolve into air

and dance with me.

May the Light Always Linger

Lock up that secret

on the tip of your tongue.

The practice is frequent,

tightens your lungs.

The fire you breathe

shuts the vitriol inside,

but growing is the need

to let your heart confide.

Leave your doors open

and leave your lights on.

The planets are in motion.

and soon we'll be gone.

Welcoming eyes

and warm, lover's fingers,

find me in your skies,

may the light always linger.

Shook

I need all of your dark clouds
and the smell of rain.

My brain is talking far too loud;

she's trying to explain.

I need the falling of the leaves

and your long-sleeved shirt.

Perhaps I really am naive

and so it always hurts.

I think you're in the wind now.

You whispered out my name.

You kissed me quick atop my brow

so that I would remain

the one who's always waiting here,

so wishful and so willing.

Right and wrong are so unclear;

it's just my guts I'm spilling.

You are the pages of my book.

I am the stars above you.

When the ground beneath me shook,

I knew that you felt it too.
