"Pure Moments"

Sometimes those simple moments can hit you deep

Warming your heart

And radiating through your entire being

Pure in nature

Filled to the brim with hope

Or better yet

Happiness

A smile will strike out across your face

Like the bright rising sun of the morning

That welcomes a brand new day

Thanks is given for the chance taken

And the possibility made

Making you realize that this kind of happiness is priceless

That is why its net worth is limitless.

"New Step Forward"

I wish you could see every part of me

And not just what you choose to view

To have the curiosity to know more

To dig deep into everything that is me

Unearth my passion

The heat at my core

Be brave enough to reach out and connect

Let fingers entwine

Hands palm to palm

Let all that has been in the past fade away

This is a new beginning

A step forward in the right direction

I give to you the deepest promise

Of absolute truth and caring respect

Expecting the same in return...

Hold tightly to these new emotions as they flow

Feel them through your heart and soul

Patience with kindness will let them naturally grow

Let the wind of change sway your heart from relationships past

Because I bear a light to help you out of the fallen darkness

Let these moments carry us to wherever they may lead

With opens hearts and open minds

Existing in every vibrant step laid out before us.

"First Kiss"

What would it be like?

To give yourself over to something so completely?

Skin to skin our bodies embrace

The warmth from your core heats me through mine

A shiver of intensity surges

The seconds speak

As you drop your head in between my neck and shoulder

I hear your breath inhale

Then, warmly exhale

Passion holds us

Our eyes meet in the middle

Making ourselves seen complete

Our lips touch

My breath catches in my mouth

My skin becomes a blanket of pin pricks

Tingling with excitement

If freedom ever felt like anything

It would be this moment.
