i dreamed of you

In my dream you were mine 
And when I woke up 
I could still feel the lingering touch of your hands on my waist 
And smell your coconut shampoo

Today I didn’t wake up with grogginess
I woke up with longing
I was filled with it 

Longing for who I had lost
But had never had in the first place

Greedily I want to go back
Into that world of you and warmth
When I closed my eyes I only saw darkness 
Where I wished your face was

I didn’t know I wanted you 
Until I tasted your cherry lips 
And felt your strong arms 
Against me

Now I am in a world where you aren’t mine
And never will be 

That longing stays with me
And I go to sleep 
Waiting until 
I can be yours again 

I’m stuck in a world of dreams
While I wait for you to pull me out

  • Mother to Child

    From the day you were born I loved you unconditionally. 

    I loved you every second, of every minute, of every day. 

    When you were born, I was reborn alongside you. 

     

  • Lake

    Fall

    You are still, but the bright trees around you shake. 

    Colored leaves fall onto your surface.

    The wind howls, but you are calm. 

  • One: A Tale of Love

    I never realized

    There was a big difference between

    Being in love

    And loving someone.

    Not until you came along.

     

    I’ve come up with an idea.

    I call it

    The hole of love.
