Ballads

Consuming and raw emotions of another that pervade the mind.

Heater

Swaying side to side,

Side to side,

You envelope yourself onto me,

Where I feel a warmth of you,

beating, breathing

Heavily heaving

a steady fixture of blazing bliss.

Next to you is where I embrace your breath

that yields me from the cold world.

you got me.

getting lost in that gaze

that flitters to me,

lingering on my imperfections,

that feel so strange.

getting caught in the trance

you’ve put me in,

with the grazing of parts that

move, in sync.

getting put in a daze

from the way you inch your way

into my reality,

something I’ve yet to learn,

to navigate.

You’ve got me wondering,

wandering, worrying about

our essence; whether

it’s real, or possibly

just a bluff.

I’m unsure, but still,

you’ve got me.

With you

I want you with me

here, where I lie in

pitiful regret,

because I’ve let go of the opportunity,

to be with you.

Chosen

I have chosen you,

but you have chosen to woe.

Is it someone new?

I could not, I must not

ever know.

Will You?

And who might I be when

I find you?

Will you be expecting me, too?

There, with you.

We’ve become afraid

Of our silence,

But I know you’re there.
