Time is without a price tag,
but somehow it is the most exorbitant.
There is no warning,
when the body starts to wane.
Always aiming to achieve all,
make time for our precious loved ones.
They never prepared us,
that time is never just.
Should we escape together?
To the islands or the altar?
It doesn't matter,
our hearts will never scatter.
Thankful for the time given,
the time shared.
Never dismiss those moments,
and all the momentous components.

The plunge pushed me to take initiative.
A little longer than expected to be,
but eventually it was evident
that the ocean was anticipating me.
Nerves and jitters shook my heart,
wracked my brain.
The first breath under the surface,
undoubtedly made me nervous.
When the rhythm starts to cohere
and the world is hushed.
The only sound is a whale song
to come along.
Above the coral reefs
and between the kelp forests,
there is undiscovered territory.
Another world to see.

At first you wanted to dive right in.
I was the hesitant one.
But you were persistent
until you won.
It was easy for you to draw me in.
Always hypnotizing me
with those baby blues.
You always made my heart free.
Sometimes we argue, of course.
But somehow, we always manage
to stay on course.
Lately things are getting more serious.
But when people ask us,
for some reason we like to be mysterious.
Am I nervous about the unknown?
Absolutely, it terrifies me...
But I hope I'm not alone.

You strike my heart from time to time,
unexpectedly.
Little things I hear, I see, reminds me of you.
You rest in my soul and I feel the swishing of your tail,
from time to time.
Never have I ever lost anyone as meaningful as you.
You are not human,
but since the beginning of our time together,
you've always been more human than the next "you".
From time to time,
friends and family betrayed me,
but I always had someone to count on, you.
There was a time before you,
yes I remember.
They were never as whole without you.
There has been time after your paw prints left this Earth,
but I hope to see you again one day, as all dogs go to Heaven.
Coming home will never be as joyful without you.
Thinking of you from time to time, almost all the time.
There will never be another one like you,
my magnificent Maxxmillion.

The sea continuously conveys
an endless journey
that lies
before us.
The vast unknown,
awaiting exploration.
Much like love,
both remain unpredictable.
Yet the rewards
are undeniable.
Is the open ocean
and its beauty worth
the risks?
Is the spark ignited
by your heart
worth the pain?
The answers will remain
a mystery,
until you plunge in
to make
history.

You still wonder,
what time I get home,
who I was with,
what I was doing.
You ask these questions,
like you're still my partner,
my lover,
my one and only.
Yet you are no longer entitled to.
You made the choice,
to let me go,
to betray me,
to let me down.
I made the mistake.
By sharing,
my night adventures,
late shenanigans.
I succumbed to answer to you.
Because I know you worry.
I know you care.
It comes off as a judgment now,
a scolding,
a lecture.
There is no "us" anymore.
Time to keep my lips sealed,
shut in time,
lock and keyed.

When you turned two,
they dressed you up like a princess,
they put cake in front of you
for you to destroy with your tiny hands.
Everyone thought of how cute you were.
When you turned eight,
mom brought Burger King
for the entire class.
The fries smelled of simple pleasures.
Everyone thought of how cool you were.
When you turned thirteen,
girls night in was the thing.
Homemade face masks, prank phone calls,
followed by pizza and junk food.
Everyone thought of how fun you were.
When you turned eighteen,
your friends picked you up,
at midnight.
You stop by 7-11,
to buy a Black n Mild and a lotto ticket.
You thought of how mature you were.
When you turned twenty-one,
everyone cared to wish you well.
Margaritas on the house,
celebrations made to be forgotten.
You thought of how life has only just begun.
When you turned twenty-eight,
there were no presents to be expected.
Cancellations, excuses, and "sorry"
filled the day.
You thought of - "Who do I matter to anymore?"
Happy Unbirthday to Me

He was a stranger,
a man unknown.
He became a companion,
turned into lover.
His only failure came unexpected,
a secret discovered.
He was a stranger,
a man uncovered.
