Hope

You creeps in my day
Softly
I smile sweetly
Letting your beauty
Cascade pieces of heaven
Upon my lips
You lurk
Above the sunshine
Allowing the heat
From your rays
To warm my skin
With your
Blinding touch
I stand deliquescing
Smitten by
Your delicious oenomel
You seep between
My sunset
And
Springtime
Unveiling paradise
At my feet
As the rainbow
Sings
To my soul
Melodies
Of you

Andrea's Vows

Love seems small
When you're standing in perfection
Of the earth's beauty
You're the brightest sunshine
On my dreariest day
The glow of moonlight
In my darkest night
I am so in love
You are the song
In my soul
humming your name
At daybreak
You are the smile
In my thoughts
The tenderness
In my eyes
And
I shall love you
With shade
protecting purple lilacs
Pining a cool breeze
Beneath the leaves.
My soul
Shall know no other desire
Sing my name
With early morning whispers
I'll adorn your life
Breathing passion's fire
From my heart
Floating through the air
Captured inhaled moments
Exhaling purify wholeness
of us
Today you become
My forever
And
Infinity
Is ours
With I do
Releasing from my tongue
I say
I'm committed
To the promise
Our love holds
You are my  thoughts
Envisioning tomorrow's
Destiny
Cultivating
within my soul

Sleepless Thoughts

Sleepless Thoughts

Love is powerful
It hides in a bird's whistle
At early dawn
Sometimes in the swaying
Of leaves in autumn
It wrestle in the wave
Along the gray skies
And
Beneath the calm
Of the deep ocean
love is a cheerful hello
A tearful goodbye
Love is a secret
Wrapped in distant lullabies
Love is my hand
That reaches the heart
Comforts my soul
When I fall apart

I have recited
your name
over and over again
Waiting
I have never missed
A day
Since
I met you
I have sang
Your name
Repeatedly
From my mouth
In every octave
I will speak
Your name
Again
And
Again
Until
The wind
Escapes my lungs
And
I can whisper
No more

Love stories
Written in the mind
Invoke
How you want to love
Color your magical desires
Scribble your sunset
Ink your kisses
And
You design
The ending
Love's destination
is
trapped
within
Write you love
Out loud
And
Live
Every moment
In
paradise

The sound of thunder
Roaring in the dark hazy sky
Is the flooding of tears
Running from my heart
Quietly
Drowning the screams
as I lay helplessly
Dying
In the garden
Built for us
My hands
Loosens it's grip
Of the rose
I planted willingly
Upon my heart
My flesh is weak
From the thorns
Pricking
and
Pruning
My soul
Of the love
It wanted
With you
I wither away
With
lamented calamity
dripping
with
broken dreams
for
my  sun
Refuses
to shine
on
A rose
that
Rejects
Nourishment

Say Her Name

February 7, 2016

(Untitled continues)

Even in your absence 

I crave the essence of your voice

Giving me rekindle light

Flicking in the distant breeze

I reflect on your eyes holding me

In comfortable moments

Bathing in chaos 

As I say your name

You are the dream 

Still magnifying in alpendglow 

For all who came 

And 

who will come

To celebrate 

This quiet aeonian legacy

You left behind 

I speak your name

Often

As I breathe

For I am 

You

Everyday

The sun shines

And the night appears

We are the sameness 

Looking for love

Peace and truth

I say your name

As I say 

My own
