About

If we are to awaken, what do we hope to find but love and beauty?!

What Do You Want?

What do you want? She asked
with a casual smile.

While
I can gather velvety mountains,
starry skies,
distill them into your lips,
the soft curves of your cheeks,
the ocean of your eyes,

I long
to take the passion of my heart,
the stillness of my essence,
and just like the waves
of the night of your hair,
make the world
beautiful.
