seasons

hold your hand through berry fields, verdant tulip springs 

arms linked, running past summer woods

waltzing into autumn rays, trip on laughing pumpkin faces  

i pick melting snowflakes off your eyelashes

the pillow is cold

Hair in the corner of the bed

The sheets are wrinkled

Lived in

The pillow is cold

quotes I like [3]

“I’d burn every soul I knew if I thought the fire was warming you”
~
Hozier 

warm hands

Tea to soothe 
Soft chocolate
Blankets and cozy hearth
Frigid nights but you hold their cold shoulders
Keep them warm

campfire

I'm losing the spark

Fanning at ashes

Trying to start a flame

That burnt out long ago


Firewood doused with rain


The skies weep tonight

night reading

late nights with parchment and wine

circling thoughts of grand design

velvet robes in candlelight

distance

there is a distance and i hate it

like you're an ocean away but still in my backyard

like my arms could stretch to cross nations

and still miss you

and the rest of me can't think of a way

to bring you back

close the way we were before

quotes i like [2]

"September came in with golden days and silver nights."

~

J.R.R. Tolkein

the heartwood

mist swirls among tree trunks

eddying like a viper

turning, dancing

twisting in the emerald dusk

ancient trees brush branches through the fog

the heart of the wood beats in rhythm

dare to venture deeper

into the waiting embrace of the forest
