Blue

I’ve never seen a pair of eyes that hold such a blue galaxy

But then again,

I’ve never seen you before

…until now.

My Person

It’s not about

she’s my girl

or…

he’s my man

…no

It’s about

that’s my person

my heart

my soul

my home.

Melody

She’s that melody

you hum to

randomly throughout

the day.

Addict

I never thought he was an addict,

until the moment I walked away

as he cried, "But, you're my drug..."

When you hear the word 'love', what do you think?
I want you to make me feel what you're feeling. What does love mean to you?

Parchment

I’m your

parchment paper,

where you create the

most breathtaking

symphony across

my foundation,

inking my heart for eternity.

Burn

her stars…

be ready to burn

from within.

such a lovely way to burn

Smooth

she chuckles,

maybe you just have smooth ways.

I gently touch her shoulder, gazing into her

heavenly eyes,

my smooth tongue speaks of what my soul sings.

Splatter

The ink splatters your name

Across my heart

Seeping through my soul

Shining behind my eyes

Imprinting my foundation

Resting in the palm of my hand.

Thirst

I thirst for the cloaked parts of

…you

that will always run wild.

I thirst for the damaged

parts that

…are

smothered in darkness.

I thirst for the parts that

are chained to the past

begging to be set

…free

The parts you conceal from

the rest of the world.

But I see you and I still thirst for your galaxy.

Pretty, shiny words
I'm wallowing a bit in my depression. I can't afford therapy (can anyone, really?) Help a girl out, surround me with beautiful words. No real guidelines, just write something lovely. In topic, in tone, or both—your choice. Please tag me @wabisabi.

Ripples

a single rock skipping

across the Universe

an echo…

causing ripples in time and space

setting off a chain reaction

that brought us here,

at this moment,

in this time

together.
