8/26/2008

It's amazing to think
this moon I'm staring up at
is the exact same moon
that somebody 400 miles away
could be staring up at
right this second

It really touches the heart-
it shows me something

What it shows me
is that no matter what-
no matter where we are
or how alone we feel
we're never really alone
I mean, hey-
I'm sure there's someone else
out there
right this second
staring up at the moon
and thinking
the exact
same thing.

In the Dream (for Ranise)

In the dream you're there
and I'm there
I swear it's real
we're both really there

In the dream we're still speaking
and we're laying in your bed together
holding each other
and I can smell your scent
and taste you on my tongue
and my lips

I can feel your breath
entering and exiting
your all too enticing body

In the dream you fall asleep and I remain
awake
and I'm planting kisses on your
lips
chest
neck
and cheeks
and it's real
I know it's real

In the dream we're consuming one another
like hungry mad angels of Summer
and we're inseparable-
like I'm handcuffed to you

In the dream we're in love
and I'm not scared to tell you how I feel-
how I want nothing more than to
make you
love me
and how I want to hold you in my
skinny tattooed arms
while planting kisses on your head
and NEVER
let you go

I want to save you from a single day
of discontentment
and I want to rip away any hurt
that I've caused you and
I want to hold you forever and feel your breath on my neck
and face and chest
and I want to whisper the words
"I love..."
and have you believe them
and believe in me

In the dream it's real-
I know it's real
and it's sweet enough
to make me never want to wake
again.
