if you die, I die too

As she lies next to me
I feel her pulse vibrate through the air 
The light reflects off of her pale skin 
Beads of sweat drip from her chin to the tile 
The breeze gently pulls out strands of her hair
Lasers span from her eyes
To wherever they may gaze 
I do my best
To not be zapped in their path
She reaches for my palm
I oblige
As she places her thumb in the middle 
She forms tiny circles 
From my wrist to the roots of my fingers
Gifting me every single moment 
Of her past
I can see one scene from her future 
Only minutes from now 
This is when I realize 
She will die 
Here 
Right next to me 
And I shall die too 
Because I will not live in a world
Without her in it

the night I met Deana

Black ice paints the forlorn roads  Smiles fade as tires slow  Sitting in a bar, alone I have nowhere else to go Poetic words born from rum  Napkin wrapped around old gum  I revere a gentle strum  Unable to see who from  A familiar face across the bar  A smile holds his mouth ajar Beside him shines a golden star  I ask them who and how they are  We drink, we laugh and we talk  The bartender points to the clock  It's time to go, we have lost The right to drive, now we walk

your eyes

I love your eyes  But, not for their color  Not for their shape  Or the way that they flutter  Those peaceful, warm eyes Are not loved for their style I don't love them because  They go perfect with your smile I don't love them for their placement  Although, they are just right  I promise I don't love them In the way you think I might I love your soft eyes Because they're one of a kind Their lovely blue hue Sends shivers down my spine They hold a heater to my heart A feather to my neck They paint my cheeks reds And take away my breath They show me a world Where a midwest tree Can be as beautiful as A mountain or the sea They warm my Winters And cool my Summers Their presence is calming Their absence; a bummer I can't explain the difference  Or this new, weird feeling It's a refreshing change  If you know what I mean Those eyes, plus that smile Like a sun below 2 skies They are different from the rest I'm going to figure out why

romanticize

Give it time  Don't share it loud  Know their all  Before you're proud  Burn the pedestal  Blow out the flame  All you know  Are words and a name  Experiences  Will give you clarity  The good ones are Quite the rarity  Don't give so much  To one you just met  For if they leave  You're left with debt  Don't dig so deep  Quit fanticizing  Don't go blind Romanticizing
