Prose

The wind whips around my sun-kissed hair as we travel down this beaten path. Our final destination a mystery to me, but your coy smile hints you know where your hand is leading me. The air is brisk, for summer is coming to a close. "We're almost there," you gently whisper in my ear, sending shrills up and down my neck. I look up at the winding trail, curiosity itching its way into my mind. You give my hand a slight squeeze, bringing my focus back to you. Those sea foam eyes get me every time you know, it's impossible to look away. You quicken your pace, sending a slight rush throughout my veins. As we turn the final corner, a mere gasp escapes my hushed breath. The beauty of the scene before me, indescribable. Close to the most breathtaking thing I've ever seen, second only to those eyes of yours. The setting sun casts shadows of pink and deep purple across the sky as we look out over the Bunyan trees. We sit on a broken rock and watch the silent forrest below us. You wrap me up in your sweatshirt, and once again lean in, whispering sweet nothings in my ear as the rest of the world begins to fade away.

Sonnet

You grab my hand as I begin to walk away
The butterflies refuse to rest in my heart
Now, with you I will forever stay
Our souls never to be apart
Pulling me into your arms, all I want is you
For in them i'm intertwined between your world and mine
What was old is once again new
And everything is in a perfect line
You wrap your hands around my neck and kiss me
Effortlessly, as the rain comes pouring down us
As if going blind, I can no longer see
I'm lost between love and lust
Our lips separate but I'm not ready to leave
Because with you, I have a reason to believe

Fast Forward

I feel like life is passing me by
The past year on constant fast forward
How i wish I could rewind
Stay in those happy moments
Maybe pause for a while
At the times that took my breath away
For now I feel everything is a constant rush
A sprint when it should be a stroll
I'm not ready to leave
Not ready to go

Real World

The wind takes me
Out of my element
Away
From the world
I've learned to know
Into
A place where only you
Can see me
Touch me
How I wish this place
Could be reality
For in the real world
You don't even know
My name

Lost at Sea

Lost at sea
My mind floats in and out of thoughts
Of you and me

The waters are calm
Perhaps this time
I will find my way home
To you and me

But as if it could sense my smile
The waves come crashing in
On the mere thought
Of you and me

Maybe we were always meant to be
Lost at sea
Forever, you and me

Ekphrasis

Descent to the Mediterranean

Walking alone
In a world where you are only one
Nonexistent, in the big picture

In your eyes you are something
But to others, you are
Nonexistent, in the big picture

Maybe one day you will find someone
To walk with you, hand in hand, and together you will be
Nonexistent, in the big picture
