this is my sea
where wild waves #journey
this is my sky
where blazing stars appear
this is my heart
two pages of a crazy life
this is my why
my dreams I find them here.

leave your #raincoat
on the stairs
we've wandered enough
through passing years
amidst the teardrops
that fell like rain
through thunder rolling
and lightning's flame
now the storm is over
still we remain
maybe it's time to care
about love at last.

we know through words
heartbeats blend
with visceral #verve
vehemently unrelenting
sure in their belief
that love deserves
a story without an ending
a song without a coda.

fast fall autumn leaves
time lost in bittersweet decay
branches to roots mourn
past summer chances missed
still the wish stays true
the light of love remains
#associate my heart with dreams
for that is all I need to be.

stars sign over the Tyne
a riverbank, my heart
no #advert here displayed
only a dream the North Sea
carries pieces of my love
to land, wherever you are.

upon an #elastic tide
rush your heartbeats and mine
the pull of an endless horizon
the draw of a pristine shore
and though fleeting waves
leave two souls breathless
one touch of love's magic
makes us breathe once more.

my #oasis is you
always has been
always will be
you are the light
you are the waters
that hold my soul.

when you’ve had it
with this planet
and dark clouds follow
wherever footsteps go
when days paint a #blur
and silence all too loud
I hope your heartbeat knows
with every breath that stirs
moonlight in falling leaves
tell stars each time I dream
you’re everything to me.

will you hold my hand tonight
gaze up at every star

will you hear my heart tonight
no matter where you are

will you play my song tonight
#sublimate through every note

will you be the one tonight
where all my love belongs.

you told me
I was important
to you
I dreamed you
I adored you
and that's still true
we hurt each other
with distance
with silence
with the rains
but when storms come
words our #escutcheon
and love remains.

maybe moments map
every path we'll walk along
from January to December
every day lived in between
#perhaps petals remember
every word we'll ever say
from the whispers to the songs
every night when lovers dream.

the quiet #catastrophe
of two hearts
that never meet
never beat as one
never fall in love
so the universe decides
to start all over
re-writes the stars
re-makes the dreams
until they fall forever.

an #extrusion of longing
drawn out of the soul
a thread of love songs
woven through notes
until a fusion of words
forms the roots of a rose
grows in your heart
and never lets go.

let's take #stock
in the moment
of all this magic
in the air

breaths buy time
for souls to dream
and seek comfort
in words we share

our hearts trade
in verse and music
to reach feelings
we stow away

when we're lost
between vast skies
and oceans
love finds us there.

tonight let's leave
the moonlit roses
to #conspire with stars
their intentions pure
reflecting in our eyes
with heartbeats we join forces
we fire souls into dreams
we hold on to the flames
eternity lives within us
love is where it begins.

it feels like each day
your tide pulls me closer
breath by breath, inch by inch
I enter your waves
my heart never #flinching
from the depths of your love.

no river is ever
too #exhausted
to find the ocean

no raindrop is ever
too tired
to reach the ground

no flame is ever
too weary
to light the dark

and no heartbeat
is ever wasted
when love is found.

as autumn approaches
to feel nothing
would not be #bearable
because there is something
within the sacred music
and the silence we share
it's what keeps dreams alive
this love between us
a magic incomparable
if it ever were to fade
then so would I.

maybe the shape
of ours hearts
fit together

maybe the stars
break apart
and live forever

maybe the body
is a #wrapper
for the soul

maybe our love
is everything
and that is all.

don't ask me how I'm feeling
whilst my heart is beating

don't ask me where I've been
I've never left this dream

I don't take love for granted
every hour, second, moment with you

there's only one light everlasting
that's the #power of truth.

the #doorway waits
starlight ripples
across a wooden floor
two hearts escape
and out in the fields
night flowers bloom
beneath the breaths
of an eclipsing moon.

so let love be
the final #article
something magical
ink spills dreams
and it always will
upon the pages
of my heart and yours.

attuned to the melody
of your heartbeat
#conscious of your light
awake in sheer devotion
dreaming of you near
until every star aligns.
