its in your eyes,

what triggers all those butterflies

its in your grin,

what ignites the warmth of my skin

its in your touch,

and thats simply the end

for in that moment, 

my heart does descend,

my body will bend,

my knees go weak,

and my tongue 

simply

can’t 

speak.

~j~

try as i might
try as i may
those clouds
i can't keep them at bay

your words,
your love,
all that you say

bring warmth
and hope 
of a 
reddening 
sun

then reality rears its head
and those clouds again
have 
won
