Welcome!

I really needed an outlet for my creative writing (which I really don't do enough of). Ella Jean is my "pen name" for a couple reasons: When I started this I didn't want my name on it and Ella was my great grandmother's name who I was supposed to be named after (Since that didn't happen, that will be my daughter's name). Anyway I have a mix of everything on here so take a look around and enjoy! :) Please, feel free to leave a comment or click in a check box to tell me if you liked the post or not!

More Than Everything

It's more than deep, bright eyes
Or a handsome face to gaze upon
Or strong and gentle arms to rest in
Or a voice warm and low

Its more than your senses can say
More than you cologne
Or your lips pressed to mine
Or your breath in my ear

Its the breath you take away
     when you walk by
When you smile into my eyes
The stories you tell me of your past
The laughter you cause
     that makes my sides ache

It's the rush flying through me
When you hold out your hand
When you lift my chin
When you tell me just what is on your mind

It's knowing I can trust you
And I'll be safe with you near
And knowing we can keep moving forward
Together, tucking past things away

It is everything only the deepest parts of me can explain
but those secret words are locked away
and perhaps none but you
may unlock them some day
