Love Brain

Fire singes inside me burning through thoughts

Of you that I’ve tried my best to bury,

But finding a single ember, someone

Has enlightened the raw wounds of me,

And you

Into a fire that warms the village.

-

In another world we sleep soundly on

Your couch, with my body held against yours,

Feeling safe enough to close my eyes; sleeping

between your arms, and chest,

They seem to fit me.

-

Floating in the center, I’ve yet to let go

Uncertain of the new, or something I already know…

Wouldn't you just leave me?

Or are we true?

-

Should I never have reached out again?

I don’t want to wonder if, what, or when.

Our time was meant to be, somewhere….

So if there was one thing that was certain,

There was a you and a me.

-

Pulled between a known, grown, and destined love,

I believe I also can’t toss away my blossom of you.

Yes, I wholeheartedly say “I do’” my

One true love, and yet my soul,

Still thinks too.

Waiting games

-

Starting to wake with

Zest again, I

Put on my makeup to

Look pretty for you.

-

Waiting on my couch

Phone in hand,

With nothing else to do

Without plans,

(Like it's the seventies,

Just without the cord)

I wait for you.

I’m only one call

Away from your

Sweet words that

In-prison my

Faceless identity…

-

Just words, yet

So eagerly they

Slither into me with

Promises so empty they

Quietly urge me to

Turn off my phone.
