poem ~ moments like this

It is in moments like this
when I am scared to write
And tell you all my thoughts
that I have about life.

It is in moments like this
when I look at you,
And wish that I could tell you
all the things I find true.

It is in moments like this
that I wonder if you know,
That I love that badboy look
as you uncover your soul.

It is in moments like this
when you are hiding from me,
And won’t let me see
those blue eyes averted intentionally.

It is in moments like this
when I see all your flaws,
Yet it draws me to you
with unbearable claws.

It is in moments like this
when my heart skips a beat,
That I wonder if by chance
you could feel the same way when we meet.

It is in moments like this
that you make me feel calm,
As if the world all makes sense
at the rise of each dawn.

It is in moments like this
that you make me feel perfect,
And I wish I could understand
how much you add to my purpose.

It is in moments like this
that I want only you,
For I feel a deep connection
to your soul it is true.

It is in moments like this
that you make me happy as can be,
So I am writing to say
let's risk life together please.

poem ~ inside of you

Inside of you is a deep dark hole
where vulnerability looms and grows,
What will it take for you
to discover this part of you?

Inside your heart down deep
is an abyss of beauty harbored to keep,
What will it take for you
to let a little bit of it shine through?

Inside of your being is a longing to be known
and accepted for every part that is unknown,
What will it take for you
to share it with the world and be thoroughly exposed?

Inside your soul is a gorgeous look
of intense feelings that would rock the brook,
What will it take for you
to paddle down in your own canoe?

Inside of your mind is the mansions you keep
and a story that stays secluded from reach,
What will it take for you
to unlock the door to the room with a view?
