All Hearts Could Be Warmer

I stood there in the middle of the room wrapped in those strong, safe arms. My body leaned into his, my neck hanging to the side as he nuzzled my neck. His hands slowly slid from my hips to wrap around my stomach, pulling me closer. The room was on fire, but freezing. Flame made but that of icicles that chilled my bones. Or was it the shivers he summoned? A puddle formed around my feet and frozen ash stained my clothes. The room started to melt away as if the rain were washing it away. As if these tears could wash it all away. The ground turned to black and I started to sink. Right through his arms as if I was nothing more but the air itself - nonexistent. I reached out to him in vain as I fell slowly until I was engulfed. I started to remember everything. His smile... his laugh... those beautiful blue eyes of his... his golden hair...

They are all but memories in the rear-view mirror. Memories; they sit waiting to pull us under. To pull us back into the darkness only to betray us; to lure us into a false sense of security. Oh, to be secure... Secure in his arms once again. If only I could live again. Please, wake me up! I'm living a nightmare. There's no where to go. No where to run, to hide, to feel safe. Desperately, I lay in the suffocating darkness, waiting for the end to come. A faint light, smaller than a star in the night sky starts to shine in the far distance. I close my eyes tight. Is this hope? What is hope? I reach out once more and touch a warm, firm grip. I open my eyes and I see the sunrise of a new day. Every day begins as does end. The day, the year, and life will end sometime. And yet I smile. I smile because I live for what I have now. Now is where I’m safely standing next to his light, basking in the warm glow of his love.

Drift

 To love and be loved in return. To taste the sweet kiss of a fallen star. To wait endlessly just to be whole once again. To hold out your heart and expect it to remain uncracked in the midsts of a timeless river. To run... and be free. A weightless feeling that uplifts your spirit. The feeling of being wanted and unwanted all at once. What would it feel like to dance upon the rings of Saturn? The alignments of hearts is a fragile connection, easily shattered into a broken mess. Take hold and don't let go of the hope to be. To be anything. To be everything.

Promise

I promise I'll come back to someday, heart in hand. For your hands hold mine, and I hold yours. Together, we make the stars sing and hearts burn with an intense passion. Like a spark becoming a flame, a caterpillar becoming a butterfly, or a firework ready to set off into the night sky. A slight speck of starburn from the glow of hope. A sunburst kiss upon our faces. Together at last in the silence of our peaceful forever~♥
