Like a ghost

you were caught somewhere between death

and rebirth

rising from the ashes of the past

with an armored smile

and a bloodied heart.


We drift together

in a series of scotch soaked evenings

angel kisses and a hungry wanting

I breathe with you

in the velvet darkness

no longer am I frightened,

This haunting is sweet.



We slide beneath the layers of this cloud like abyss

warm and sacred.

Enveloped in this cocoon of quiet bliss

we are whole again.


Indeed you know these truths.

You have won me over again and again

with your quiet charm

and lost innocence.


In this part joyous

part melancholy seduction

we share moments bitter and sweet

and revel in their divinity

This we know, is sacred.


You lie with me

naked and boyish

and I draw invisible words

on the small of your back.

I softly graze the length of

those limbs

and speak to you in languid strokes.


Lost love

and all its toll taking

have taught us to appreciate

this gift.

The lessons burned

but our wounds give off their own light

and we wear them with honor.


I thank you for the everydays you make into holidays

and for showing me that it's possible

to re arrange the pieces

of a fragmented dream

to create a new destiny

full of boundless beauty, inspiration

and love.


All roads have led to this moment

the path is ours now

with all the days to come shiny and bright.
