12. Lovingly Shield My Anxious Heart

Forever, I want you to be here,
So you can show me you care.

I can’t dream of a life of awe without you,
So, I pray, that you’ll never leave my side.

When you’re here, my dim heart’s darkness subsides,
Without you, there’s only fear that binds my timid light.

Each unsettling breath I breathe trembles my broken soul,
Yet, your gracious presence helps ease the horrid quake.

With each and every encounter,
My grateful heart whispers,
I love you for you, all of you,
Silently, I kneel down and pray,
I hope you’ll never go away.

So, I earnestly ask of you, forever stay by me,
I say, as our bond fills me with immense glee.

Hold me close in your warm embrace,
As you shelter my shivering lips with yours,
A kiss that shields my heart from loneliness.

With all the love in my anxious heart, I say,
Reciprocate, so my heart won’t go astray.
Loving your affection brings color to my day.

171. Kissing For Air

Yearning branded it's mission: Needing you to avoid oblivion. Breathing in a life of craving. With a hand wet from all these tears, No longer able to hold on to you, Everything slipping so soon. Breathlessness giving into fear, Praying for lips to taste sweet honeydew, Dying into an aftertaste of the empty moon. My ears slapped by the wolf's howl, Waking me up from the dream, Back into my senses. To feel my full heart beating, Jumping high for the heavens, Revealing an unavoidable intimacy. "Isn't it a joy to feel so alive?" It's silence screamed.

179. Healing

Is this an original by me? Passed on by whom? This thought. Before I knew it, I believed it. "Broken." Just fuel for the fire. Everything pointing at "me." A "me" who could someday be fixed. Pill after pill, Decade after decade, Affirmation after affirmation. "Who" believes "I" am broken? When no one appeared, For certain, I knew. The belief had to be surrended, To see "broken" as a lie, For it to be liberated.

182. Little Hello

It was a little bid from me, But a million pieces, Make a big farewell. Feelin' like I'm stranded at sea. Feelin' like I should say less. Feelin' like I can't tell... That I miss you. But you knew. So I withdrew. Not a single good-bye spoken, Not pretending to be a monk in zen, Not able to bypass again. The apathy wasn't clear to be neglect, With breadcrumbs spelling "maybe yet." So why is my pillow wet like a wreck? A celebration I wanted you to see, But no words is all she says. There will be no wedding bells.
