I don't normally share poetry, but it's what I love to do.
Stay up all night Can’t handle tomorrow  Rather dance in the dark until my legs are weak and my head is spinning I’ll say I put up a fight...
A body with hands like maps Allow me to trace your highway veins Intertwine your fingers in mine And learn my roads, my cliffs My body...
Your touch is tattooed  On every curve Your smile Foggy amongst the autumn sun I dream of your eyes Sad and wandering Shielding your face...
I’ve tied my body to someone else’s for so long Sewn my hands to another’s back But now, I look down at the scars From ropes and staples...
I let you into my life One breath at a time My parts, too, are promises Curve a curl behind my ear as I  Tell you a secret You, don’t miss...
