you are a special kind of wonderful.
looked into your eyes
while the sky turned a deep, dark purple
and saw
my own reflection.
held your hand
while the rain came rushing down
and felt warm all over.
put my head on your shoulder
while the snow fell softly
and that’s when I knew.
i want to see
the sun rise on your bare back,
to see the twilight twinkle in the background,
to trace the evening into the hollow of your collarbone.
leaned back into you
while the sun shone so brightly
and i was home.
kissed you
while the wind made
an unruly mess of my hair
and i never wanted to go.
ran my hands
across your skin and
i dreamed of you forever.
i want to see every sunset in your silhouette,
to give you a soft smile at dusk,
to whisper three little words sleepily
into your ear at dawn.
you are the revolution of my heart.

i don’t tell you these things
because i don’t think
you deserve to know,
that you’ve had enough,
or maybe you wouldn’t want to
i don’t know
what you think about anymore
and that’s punishment enough
i sit and think and it’s dangerous
if i try hard enough i can keep from screaming about all the things i want.
all the things i had.
all the things i could’ve had
all the things i would’ve have.
all the things i should’ve had.
i’ve beat these thoughts
in my head to death
it’s supposed to end by now
how every song circles
around and around
to land on you
this longing to see your brown eyes
brown.
plain.
normal.
before you i wished for green but now?
now,
brown is golden honey,
the bark of the trees that spiral green
the color of our skin.
what more could i ever want?
i can’t run to you
let me run in your thoughts
please.

everything that the moon touches becomes beautiful.
moondust.
moonflower.
moonlight.
moonshine.
moondust - the fine particles of soil on the moon
a bit of dust from the sky so far away, like you
a crescent of hope.
to be buried in the extraterrestrial.
moonflower - the flowers that rise with the dusk and fade as dawn shines
a sweet, white petal closes as the sun comes up, like our love
a hopeless hushed feeling.
to be running backwards into time.
moonlight - the light of the very thing that controls our oceans
a pale sliver of illuminance treads lightly, like my journey
a twilight backdrop sharing radiance.
to adorn the future with new.
moonshine - the illicit liquor a heady sensation, like how drunk we were on the footsteps
a secret so beautiful.
to feel the thrill is to chase.
the night is in all of us.
