"Longing"

I'm alive
And filled
Top full
With the essence
Of living
And breathing
And believing
And reliving
The here
The now
In the moments
Where memories are made
The ideals
And demands
Life creates
Around us
I'm surrounded
By notions
Of you
With me
Intensity
For tenderness
Your arms
My lips
These ideals
Take me out of my moments
And create a need
To find you
And make memories
With you
And you alone
You put me at ease
And I envy you
For I
Have traveled
Far
To find the peace
You provide
On my own
To make a place in me
For you
To find your way
To let go
To sink in
To slip your fingers
Beneath my
Tepid skin
And hold me
Close
And find your truth
And your sanity
In the breath
I breathe

"The Search"
My muddled mind
Is unwinding
Unfolding
And telling it's own tale
Doors open
And I embrace
The road less traveled
I reach
I embrace
And I face
This life
This moment
And I treasure
The less obvious
That which excites me
And ignites
A flame
In me
Brings me
Closer
To all that is
Priceless
Divine
Sincere
And real
My heart
And it's gratitude
To that which
My eyes have been opened to
I feel full
And revealed
And open
To that which
Wants to encounter
And inhabit me
All things virgin to me
Enters me
And I feel
And I release
Suddenly
Home
Is this body
My heart
My soul
In which
I have lived
All along
