Bliss

The stars twinkle
and you hold me closer
your scent envelops me
freezing time...

Your warmth flows through me
I look back and smile...

The stars sparkle up above
and even when you're not
holding me
I'll always know you're there
because the stars will forever
lead me
to you

Unexpected

You look around and see
numerous familiar faces
that are merely
masks.

You look around,
looking for yourself
in their eyes.

You look around and see
an unfamiliar face
– ridges and creases
that follow no pattern,
but rather have a mind
of their own.

          The eyes empty,
          the face hollow.

You look around
and recognize
the mirror
with the unfamiliar face.

It's Because Of You

You make me smile
like I haven't
in awhile.


The grin spreads
from ear to ear.


My eyes glisten and shine
knowing that you're mine.


You make me feel special
and that's crucial
because it's partially why
I fell in love with you.
