I seem to fall, into your seaside eyes;
Wistful and kind, With a hidden
Arrogance I assume you're afraid of,
And lose myself in the shallows
Of coral, before I realise
I've strayed into deeper, dark
Ridges of blue grey.
And As I claw my way back,
To the wet sand, fawn
I try to avoid, the black pit,
To which I'm drawn.
I trace my fingertips across plains,
Of Savannah sweet skin,
To the peak, dotted with orange
Poppy flecks, as I resist the urge,
To count each delicate dot,
And claim them as my own,
I brace myself, for what I adore,
The sweetest thing, to which I'm drawn,
And as fingers hit, that raised skin,
So it starts, my pink and gold,
Sunrise smile, that I search for in the dark,
And in the bright of day
Only to fall for you Once more,
Rose tinted, by golden skin,
A hidden promise, lies within,
I let my fingers brush against skin,
Begging you, to let me in.

My Favorite Accident
Everyone's looking for that blue-eyed stranger
To sweep them off their feet,
To burst in stage-left with a bouquet of red roses
And a smile--
It's not like that.
Everyone's looking for their puzzle-piece partner
Their "other half",
Their "born to be",
Two meant as one,
Perfection--
It's not like that.
Everyone's looking for those dressed-up promises
Black and white kisses on wide silver screens,
Roses tossed to bowing performers,
Raw drama and wild beauty and
Sweat on twisting bodies
And
"Happily Ever After"...
It's not like that.
It's quieter.
Slower.
Stronger.
Better.
Because it isn't the universe

Injured: Heart and All
When I touched
the blade to my
wrist
I screamed.
When I saw
the blood dripping
down my arm
I cried.
When I tried
to lick the
blood off it tasted
too much of guilt.
But my injured
heart felt the
pain more than
my wrist.

Perhaps, One day this will be a foolish mistake,
But for now, hold me close, for my own foolish sake
Bleh. How horrid and soppy,
and beautifully you.

Lovely. I like the delicate imagery and the whimsical tone.
