Light breaks on the crease of the horizen
and your eyes soften the glare that wakes me–
gently rolling over from the life we live

S E P A R A T E L Y 

The warmth of the sun mimicks 
your touch — welcoming it, I soak it in
As the moonlight creates shadows behind my eyes

S O F T L Y 

You graze my hand—fleeting, the sheets fall–
a sweet fragrance reminds me of the reality of your absence
when I fully wake

S U S P E N D E D

Between dreams and reality
I create a makeshift shelter to hide
Childlike, make-believe moments to keep you alive

S O M E W H E R E

Your soul prepares to rest —
the sun sets, and the stars welcome the night

S W E E T L Y 

back to my memories and dreams–
we sleep.
