i can't believe he didn't love me--

i spent so much time
dreaming of what we
could've been,,, and
what we never had, **

on
those days when sunlight
would pour through glass
like liquid ****** and drown my
mind as if
nothing else existed// i remember..:

how i still coughed and cried;
knowing he gave
me up, as though
the memory of us was just a
vignette...

stained,
fleeting.
its always sunny in san francisco (just kidding)

The Sun tells nothing but the truth.
Rays, unabashedly reveal and revel
in their (apparent) straight simple beams.
Basking and baking any unlucky-lucky soul,
Caught in the radiating pathway.

With a touch that grants,
bronzing berift of bruising.
In reality grants us sight
Welcomed by all but few,

And my word.         What a view.

With your touch I feel the shocks of love course through my skin.
With one single kiss, I am rapt.
Hopeless.
Fallen.
The sun must be so jealous that your laugh is brighter than she.
And if my life's mission was to harvest that luminosity -
Then blessed am I
To have experienced a lifetime's worth of exuberance
With you.

"To watch the water of the open ocean dance as it bathes in sunlight, there is not a more calming sight."
I wrote this during my last deployment. It means a lot to me.

The spiderweb catches glistening water
jewels in the newborn sunlight.

Crossing the field
One foot after the other,
Grass under my feet,
Clay staining my skin red
With each heavy step.

I drag along,
Instead of flying past like I once did.
My each step is slow and hesitant,
Instant of a leap and a lunge
Towards whatever the future may hold.

And grasshoppers
And little moths and fireflies
Float and hop around me,
As the sun settles behind the Earth,
And the moon rises into the sky.
The grass is green, but yellowing,
And leaves decay at my feet.

Spirals of red and orange leaves
Spin around me a thousand times,
And the falling stars caress
My moonlit skin.

I am the night time,
And I don't want to be.
I am when the wolves and coyotes sing mournful songs,
I am when the foxes and cats come out to hunt.

I am the night time,
And I creep across golden fields
As slowly as the gold fades to gray,
Where the sky touches the earth.

And I want to be warmed by the sunlight,
But I am shivering and cold,
Within my shadow realm.

I sit within the tall grasses,
Amongst the trees that sway in
The harsh winter winds.
I feed off moon flowers and snapdragons,
Yearning to find a daffodil for myself.

And the warmth of the sun calls me home,
But I want to be bask in the light,
Instead I blow away,
And I disappear.

And as I prance and spin in the evening,
Casting rays of blue twilight across the landscape,
My brown eyes catch your blue,
And while I believe you can't see me,
I hope to the moon and back that you do.

I am the spirit of the night time,
But your eyes are like the day's sky,
And I could stare into your sunlight lined iris's
For eternity upon eternity.

And with fluttering wings,
I painted you stars in the royal violet and navy sky,
I prayed that you'd make me yours,
But I was impatient
And you fell along with me

Into the realm where
Landscape meets starscape,
And the blues of the night
Met the greens of the day,
And I'll love you forever
Where the sky touches the earth.
<3 Tomorrow is just two weeks. <3 We're so close, Bluebird! I love you.

The Sun shines upon me in thin strands-
Spreading it's warm grace over my skin
I rise and spread my wings, to fly
And it suddenly dawns upon me,
I am not free to go for I am locked in a cage-
A cage of words, telling me wrong from right,
Letters strung together, forming hurtful words,
Perhaps, all the cage wants to do...
Is keep me safe- away from what lays ahead,
I have heard that it is horrid and scaring- to say the least.
But at least I will be free, and free I hope to be-
Free to love, to hate, to be happy and cry-
Be whomever I choose to be with no one to stop me
I will break free from this confinement.
There is so much more to me-
So much more than I let you see, let me go
Let me run wild! I am not to be tamed-
Not meant to be contained...by you or by anyone
I wish to be drenched in the Sun's light,
Allow me to bathe in it wholly
Oh, dear cage, please tell me. Why?
Why do you trap me? you know this is my life,
My battle, my heart, please let me understand it, fight it, love it.
Every single letter feels like a bead-
That is being strung on a necklace that hopes to choke me.
So, before I succumb to this. This torture...
Give me the key, open the gates and let me go
Let me fly just as all birds are supposed to,
Let me discover what lays beyond,
Unlock me, for I wish only-
To bathe in Sun's light.
