glow

hello my love

i am far from you

but not for long

yet in this short time apart

youve left me…

hollow

i crave touch 

your touch 

i miss our talks 

our walks

the shared chaos

the shared quiet 

comfort 

presence 

did you know? how your comfort

almost burns, yet so delicious in its warmth

pain just a fickle flirting 

so it goes forth 

into shifting light 

changing warmth 

sparkling sparks, careful not to catch

i’d lay in it, if i could

if you’d let me

your space of warmth 

in the quiet dark

my darling did you know? 

you’re my muse. 

i am icarus.

you are my sun

yet you have yet to burn.

time spent watching 

light through curtains 

the way you glow

in summer 

early mornings 

running, learning, ranting, raving

the joys of day

the joys of light 

your shimmer and shine 

marbel, a carved marvel, you are

did you know?

have you ever borne your beauty 

to yourself, as you share it with me? 

love, do you see your brilliance?

the way you glimmer and glow 

ghost white in the night

the sun at rest

yet you still shine 

goddess, how you glow 

the sparkly things, 

the little glimmers of twinkling light 

warmth in specks of shape 

don’t you know, you manage that light too? 

the guard from darkness 

the little twinkle from my walls 

you must be magic

the way you light up 

the way you share your specks of it

my love, the value of quiet nights,

don’t you know-

how much i adore

every moment

every flicker of light 

the potential of every match 

to strike, to burn, to share, 

with patient light.

slow light 

pieces of peace

may we have our moments

in the night, or twilight 

the flickering warmth 

drips of wax 

but oh my love

don’t you know, when i fell? 

the moment i whispered 

“oh no” 

the aftermath, i realized 

your joy 

your laugh 

sweet treats

3 hours late 

but oh gods, 

there you were

stars in your skirt 

glitter in your eyes 

and you danced with me

you didn’t know how to twirl 

but kept trying 

and oh my love how we laughed 

your dress was too dark 

for how bright 

you were

coated and sparkling 

neon lights on your moonlight skin 

my love, i saw colors in your curls

beneath your skin

i didn’t know how you did it

the magic of neon warmth 

perhaps 

but your magic

your power at night 

love, i have no words for that warmth 

no words for your glow.

- yours truly
