My feelings are big They feel bigger than me They feel taller and broader Than the tallest tall tree A hand on my belly I count, "One, two, three..." And breathe in as deep As the shining blue sea Repeat this again As much as I need Until those big feelings They start to recede Last, wrap my arms tight And give Self a hug Say, "You're doing alright." "You just needed self-love" -gws
If I am too much Then let me be too much I am light and expansive And I will not be constrained By those who wish me to be small For like the wind I will not be caged -gws

Because my mama loves me no matter how far away we are, or how frequently we talk Because my mama loves me no matter how old I get, or how many babies I’ve had Because my mama loves me no matter how capable or incapable I perceive myself to be Because my mama loves me no matter how broke I am or successful I become Because my mama loves me no matter how little or how much I love myself Because my mama loves me..."more, most, to the moon and back, and to infinity and beyond" Because my mama will always love her baby girl like the day she learned she carried my spark, and will beyond when our sparks rejoin the stars Because I love my mama I will treat every check in like a hug Because I love my mama I will treat every worry like a kiss Because I love my mama I will treat every conversation as a gift Because I love my mama I will treat every gift as a treasure Because I love my mama I will not take any second of her love for me for granted Because I will always love my mama I will love her like the day my spark took root inside of her, and will beyond when our sparks rejoin the stars -gws
In another life I might have been A pirate queen A courtesan A poison-wielding spy A teacher's pet A protégé The apple of your eye A doe-eyed starlet A beatnik poet A comic, humor wry An astronaut A swimming star A mime who would not cry And yet I have this life to live One shot for this go 'round For all the mes that might have been I like the me I found -gws
Your love has me floating Like a helium balloon Tethered to the ground By a heartstring Your love caresses my senses Like the sharp, clean freshness of pine Endlessly stretching heavenward toward the azure sky Crowned in misty clouds and enduring Your love has me believing in forever Like the love found in bedtime stories and fairy tales Two hearts forged into an infinity loop As twin souls merged will do -gws
The most sensitive area of my body is my mind Exchange thoughts with me Stimulate me from the inside out Engage me in metaphysical intercourse Lead me down your roads of contemplation Let me chase you through the field of your philosophies Make my pulse quicken by describing your deepest passions Touch me with your dreams Your secrets The intricacies of your core beliefs Take me on a private tour of your sacred spaces Turn me on with your vulnerability Make me crave your speculations Let me ache for the details of your considerations Expand my mind to bursting with our conversations Until I stop your mouth with the heat of mine -gws
How do I stay away from you When your shadow fits so well with mine How do I wipe you from my thoughts When I can't seem to wipe the memory of your lips from my skin How do I give you up when all I want to do when you speak Is stop your words with my mouth When all I want is to feel your hands on my hips How do I walk away when I see the way Your eyes drink me in when you think I'm not looking I crave you with every pulse in my veins And the way you bite your lower lip says you crave me too But we have so many reasons Reasons Rationalizations Justifications And the truth is I don't care I am not strong enough I don't want to deny this draw It's like gravity Keeping us in orbit of each other I don't want to deny this chemistry That no alchemy can seem to alter So fuck it Let's burn together until dawn -gws
Hunger chasm deep
Engulfing and undenyable
Awareness of heat and heartbeat
Pulses pounding a compelling rhythm
Skin seeking skin
Lips seeking lips
All sensation and want
Shallow breaths
Whispered gasps
The spark ignites into a blaze
Two souls surrender
To flames of pleasure and need
-gws
One night The stars whispered your name They outlined your image in their sky And I fell -gws
He loved her quietly Though his eyes shouted it to the stars -gws
