when the wind meets the mist

the mist of the night falls on her hand 
that dangles out her car window,
her blonde hair plays games with the wind.
soft beats play faintly,as she bobs her head and begins to feel it.

the green light changes to red,
and she sits in the stillness,
taking a few puffs from a cigar,
so recently lit.

she gets tired of waiting 
and takes the right turn.
arriving at what appears to be 
her destination, his house.

the night before, 
she was on a highway,
far from home, 
arriving at a place unknown.

he greeted her, with smiles,
and took her in,
to a room full of friends,
that instantly connected.

last night, was filled with laughter,
and perfect chemistry,
beautiful music,
and fun pictures to relive the memories.

tonight takes on a more chill persona,
as she sits in her car, 
taking the last puffs of her cigar,
she smiles with windblown hair.

he walks out to greet her, 
with nothing less than smiles and warmth,
she tries to hide the excitement in her eyes,
as his embrace takes her over.

hand in hand,
he leads her through the door,
and the couch beckons them
to come and be lazy.

she seeks her place,
fitting perfectly
 in his arms,
like a mold to his body.

she has always loved being held,
to feel him so close,
the movie begins,
as she looks up at him.

this is her last night in town,
and then she must once again,
fly, with outstretched wings,
to a town far from this moment.

trying to not be saddened
 by the thoughts of her head,
she takes it all in,
his smell, the noise, the feeling.

his hands, always made her feel,
secure, where she belonged.
his lips touch her forehead,
and sheer happiness fills her.

it has always felt 
like they were 
the only two in the room,
no matter where they are.

the movie comes to an end
and they lay entangled 
on the couch,
nose to nose.

they laugh in the silence,
and find it adorable,
that somehow
time has brought them here.

after hours of crazy conversations,
filled with laughter,
and silly jokes,
its time for her to go.

as the dawn breaks,
he walks her out,
arm around her waist,
goodbyes are always the worst.

the mist is still falling,
and this time it hits
her lips, and then his,
as they meet.

its like bliss 
in the street,
as their eyes,
do the talking.

she climbs in her car,
with her windblown blonde hair,
and his scent on her shirt,
one last kiss, as the window rolls up.

she drives away,
in the dawn, 
with the beats softly playing,
as she bobs her head.

no cigar in her hand,
just the wind and the mist
to remind her of the night,
she will miss.

girl with a bird, she found in the snow

the rain beats 
on her window pane.

she sits staring
and hearing the words.

the sound of the rain,
take her back to last night.

in that moment,
her tears were warm.

the happiness began to give
off its warmth inside.

his words
she now could believe.

after all that has come 
and all that has gone.

they leaned to hard,
and the bridge broke.

time played its role
they were far apart.

he used to be a monster,
and she was the healer.

she had no idea
the affects she could behold.

after the shut out,
and late night cries.

he was like a crow,
that would pluck at her face.

the winters snow,
took her place.

it covered him
in perfect wonder.

a blanket, a warmth,
that she used to provide.

she still sits by the window,
wonder when he will wake.

lies strangled her
from her breath.

she pushed away 
everything she had felt.

time ran against itself
in the race.

the one day,
the crow arose.

the pressure of the snow,
no longer weighed him down.

he spread his weary wings,
and flew to her.

and they sat,
for hours of their life.

conversations of past,present, and future,
roll off their lips.

her tears, are joyous,
the disgusting is beautiful.

the crow is free 
from the monster within.

she takes him in,
warms him like before.

not quick to get close,
not quick to turn away.

if there is anyone
that is meant for him,
its her.

first 2 lefts

where could this have come from?
why all of a sudden?

when the front door opens,
i am greeted by a smile so grand,
and words so sweet 
i can even begin to compare.

in your polo and tight jeans,
and beautiful hair.
is there more to this 
than you actually share.

cadences play out
and pictures are shown.
you admire my ways
just as much as i do yours.

curl up on the couch,
with the dog in between
hold my hand
till i fall asleep.

we werent friends before
we never shared words,
a glance and half smile
is all i have to go on.

so where did this come from?
and where is it going?

im waiting on an answer
i will never receive,
im avoiding this feeling
that goes so deep.

as you sit,
making faces in my direction,
all i have to do is laugh,
and its perfection.

with drinks in hand
lets toast to this,
this moment,
when we became friends.

wait, 
where did this come from?
are we friends?
why all of a sudden?

stupid girl,
calm you loud thoughts,
go with what you feel,
and the rest is out of your control.
