A Flower in the Wind

All Kinds of Longing

Thinking about you

feels like opening a door

in the middle

of a snowstorm

and damn

Am I underdressed

~ Shaking

**************************************

I've always wanted to know

what it felt like

to create love

out of stardust

~Pregnancy

**************************************

I'm staring at the sky

full of blue and gold

The blue

makes me think of you

your eyes

I think they were about this color

I think...

The details are blurry now

**************************************

Your hands, and your lips on my skin

are heaven.

But you're still too far away...

how will I cope, miles apart

from those hands and lips?

**************************************

I'm round

and soft

my stomach

it arches

as though I am full of love

but all I am full of is broken parts

and damaged goods

~Fully empty

**************************************

I let you take me

piece 

by ever-loving piece

under the promise

of eternal love

Now I'm left

with barely half a soul

~Come back with me... please

**************************************

The wind billows outside my window

either threatening to blow my world down

or inviting me out to be embraced

by its icy fingertips

I wish to put on a long billowy dress

and run outside

and fly away with the wind

**************************************

You weren't on center stage,

you weren't the main attraction,

you couldn't find your light,

but you were always my star.

**************************************

There are days

that feel like our own little heaven

but there's always a tomorrow

where our heaven ends

**************************************

I miss that summer

at the lake

laying on a blanket in the grass, embracing each other

laughing, smiling, kissing

talking about whatever came to mind

then stripping to our underwear and jumping in the chilly water

just to get back out and cuddle on the blanket under the afternoon sun

...

If only it was right
