getting the wind knocked out

You appeared suddenly

Like a mirage.

 

You consumed the space around me until I couldn’t see through

Like fog, dense in my chest and vision

 

You became the air I breathed

The intoxication was warm and addictive.

 

As suddenly as you materialized, you left

The apparition was gone

 

And I was left gasping for the air you breathed into me.

 

 

Like Home

Like home

Sitting next to you is that warm full feeling of loving and being loved

We do that for each other

 

Talking with you is like breathing

Deep slow breaths filled with the cold fresh air of December

I know you infinitely as one does their own heart

 

You belong to someone else or nobody

But I do not wish to claim or take ownership 

 

Only that we continue to sit beside each other

Loving and being loved

The Sun

Like asteriods colliding,

unexpectedly creating a new world.

Being detroyed and made new all at once.

 

My heart shakes with anticipation and fullness,

heavy with the being of you.

Dizzy with attraction.

 

You are the first to look at me

like I am the sun.

Powerful, blinding, and beautiful.

Radiating and magnetic.

 

I have opened a door to the rest of my life.

Endless possibilities laid out before me,

all I have to do is take your hand.

longing

First an urge

Not quite a fully formed thought

A longing,

Pulling my subconscious.

 

All the little holes left by past heartbreaks

Reached out

to be momentarily filled by you.

 

Willingly you obliged

Drenched in your wholeness

I felt calm and full.

 

Like the tide,

you eventually rolled back out to the sea.

 

The next tide will bring a new longing.
