Forgiveness is looking at you and seeing the one I love, not the one who hurt me

My soul feels an ache for the peace that writing brings. My heart feels the burn of words tugging on its strings.

You surprise me with your kisses, first peppering them into my palms in a moment of tenderness then pressing them so fiercely to my unsuspecting lips

Writing is a fire ignited in the soul that cannot be put out

At the touch of pen to paper the breath of life fills the soul and sees it through

Love radiates from your fingertips as they trace circles on my arms Like paintbrushes they stroke my skin staining me in shades of your love

I'm still learning how to forgive myself for all the ways I hurt you

In through every sense your beauty floods my body and the only place it knows to go is out through words and poetry

Tangled bodies under tangled sheets twisting limbs so skin can meet sharing warmth in our shared covers both knowing home is the arms of the other

I've always been a believer that there's beauty everywhere waiting to be found but now that you sleep beside me I don't have to look very hard

Fifteen handsewn stitches each one backed with love; it took time and his careful hands to sew up my broken heart

I wanna be the moans that escape your mouth beneath your bitten lip as well as the whispers of sweet sentiment you deliver between each gentle kiss

Hey Jessica ? Do you have any books?

I enjoy reading your words, like a breath of fresh air flowing into my collapsed lungs.
