You Are My Light

My mind has calmed
Thoughts are more steady
My heart still flutters
So willing and ready.
I need you less
But I want you more
Infatuation it's not
Of that I'm sure.
You are more than a body
To hold close at night.
What you bring to my life
Is such powerful light.
I no longer feel empty,
Alone, and insecure.
You've shown me that self love
Fills my spirit at its core.
you are the light
That helps me see
all of the confidence and self -worth
That was inside of me.
You aren't fixing or saving
Me from myself
You are lighting the path
With wisdom and help.
You aren't my other half
That implies we aren't whole.
you are a compliment
to my newly emerging soul.
I've adjusted my thinking
No longer focused on the end.
Instead I'm enjoying the journey
Of becoming your friend.
in time I hope
to show you my mind.
All of the beautiful chaos
It holds inside.
I want to look inside you
Learn your thoughts and dreams,
to truly discover
If you are the man for me.
To love someone truly
It takes patience and time.
I'll be waiting here indefinitely
To see if you choose to be mine.

How can I sleep without you?

I hate how my sleep
has been derailed.
Too many thoughts
are being unveiled.
Quieting my mind
is no easy feat.
My memories of you
make my heart miss a beat.
I try to forget
I try to unwind.
But the truth is
I couldn't bear the thought
of you leaving my mind.
One day I hope
you see what I see.
How your soul matches up
so wonderfully with me.
Until then I wait,
difficult it's true.
Not knowing if you'll ever
come back to me and you.
I can't move on.
I can't have you.
How can I sleep?
What do I do?

Can we love again?

"Protect me and set me free..." She said.

"Fear not; for I am with you," He replied.

Our hearts are fragile
Shattered before
Unknowing if we are capable
Of loving anymore.
Falling for you
Brings so much fear
But I can't stop
Wanting you constantly near
Sparks fly and emotions arise
I can feel my heart being mended
By the look in your eyes.
Place your trust in my baby
hold me and listen as I say
I'll protect your love,
Never throw it away.
I hope you'll open your heart in time,
And discover that deep down you want to be mine.

I'll Be Your Sunrise

I'll be the sun at dawn
Lighting up your day,
Until you come to me at night
So I can keep you safe.

How amazing would it feel
To be so blissfully happy
that us waking up together would be,
As beautiful as the sunrise,
shimmering new light
into our dark and lonely nights.

Falling asleep together would be
as magical as the colors
that paint the evening sky.

I'll be your sunrise at dawn
and you'll be my stars at night
lighting up each other's life.

I feel the need to critique this one... but I won't. Just hear the words for what they are.

Dare to Share!

I've been entertaining the idea of writing poetry for some time now. Never have I been courageous enough to share this type of writing with the world. Poetry is a different type of writing, it comes from the heart. Poetry asks for emotion, and that can be difficult to show the world.

I am the type of person that needs the physical release of sending my worries, my joys, and my hardships out into the world. I need to clear my mind and this is the way that is most effective for me. So, I'm not asking you to loop me in with the likes of Dickinson or Frost- I'm just letting you take a glimpse inside of my heart. If you have constructive criticism that might help me be a better writer, feel free to leave a comment below.

Be gentle for I am so.
~K.
