For Izik

Nothing can console me like a dose of you.



I came into this with a broken heart and shattered expectations. A young girl on the verge of everything, reduced to shameful. The soothing echos of your voice fell from the sky...and I stood, reborn.



Flashbacks of waves crashing down on the shores of my life, each one includes you. Sing alongs in the moonlight, I fell in love each time. Drive into the dawn...once more for old times sake.



A song. My song. No one ever made me feel so real before, and the echos return. We were made for eachother. Me on my mountain, and you climbing the highest peak to meet me at the top. I miss you so much it stings sometimes- bring me back.



And still you remain, oceans away; Feeling change circulate in you veins. You are mine and I yours, but they say: If you love something, set it free.

Let Me Catch My Breath

I often wake up falling

In and out of fantasies

Following a rabbit into its' rabit hole

Not knowing where I went wrong.

I often miss you intensly

Grocery shopping is not an opportuned time

Dinner will always be ready

Call me next year.

I often want to believe

There's so much good in affirmation

Dodging the nay-sayers

Still no sleep.

*And I write because I'd rather spill words than tears, but my breaths all gone even though I'm still here*

Love Ridden

Day after day the faces pass by

in a dull haze of light and color-

Everyone rushing in masses of stained humanity

Their faces pale splotches of blurred color amidst the multicolored swirl-

Streaming like a river down the streets

and over bridges built for burning...

Merging

Flowing

They dash up empty allyways

Their intricately colored scarves snapping in the chill breeze-

I stumble as I step off the sidewalk and into the brightly running gutter

Pushing through the crowd as I

transverse the crosswalk...

A piece of trash sweeps across the street

rattling hollowly

I frivolously gaze up,

for no good reason...

except perhaps the clattering of traffic-

The wind blows the loose hair out of my face

...and there you are...

Your eyes suddenly burn in luminescence

above the harsh voices of living

Everything is still; the gray masses recede until

We're alone on the empty street

One step at a time, you grow closer

...until I am consumed by only your face.

Then abruptly you pass;

a siren wails sharply,

and the multitude leaps into action-

Yet I turn;

Your gaze penetrates-

The masses...

and I can only see YOU.
