yours is the voice that leads me
into sapphire midnight dreams
and teases me back
into ruby sunrise reality.
perfect hands tremble
through my hair
like wind and i am safe
from the
darkthingsinside.
the sun is warm across
my shoulders like your
heart wrenching kiss
on my fingertips.
shattering my sadness,
yours are the shining moments.
the tiny shards of fractured
time scattered like photos
across my room
reminding me of the
reasons my listless heart
electrifies everytime you
smile, (that crooked way),
the way you hold my hand,
(tighter to keep me safe)
within your arms, the manner
in which you touch, -gently-
(like no one has before)
or simply the way you sigh
(just a little) when you are
about to fall asleep.
when nightmares come
to me, you shake them away
with a whisper, cracking shadows
in a moment of
blistering thunder, you are
ignited within me…
and the revelation of
us becomes
complete.
