Romantic Proportion

You and I are perfectly proportioned. 
When I slip my hand into yours
 the webs of our fingers fit like a puzzle. 
when I have your hand, I pull your arm over my head to rest on my shoulder
the same shoulder that fits into your armpit, like it was meant or that act alone.
I push my face into your chest and when I look up,
you tilt your chin down, our lips meet with exact alliance.
you and I are perfectly proportioned.
cheek bone to eye socket.
hands to waist.
words to feelings.

Dare Not

Goosebumps on my arms
Chills down my spine
Tears in my eyes


Please hold me closer
as my heart pushes away
lets make a pact, 
to never say
 "i love you"
"i feel this way.."
numb like our lips 
hearts in a jar.
keep in touch with who we are, 
who we'll be
and hold to all sense of sanity 


don't lock me in 
don't make me care
my stubborn mind mixed with yours .
keep me away
keep me in sight
keep me where you want me.
keep up the fight 
to win what i've lost
keep up the fight 
to win what i've lost
