My love is like a glass jar filled to the brim with entire oceans:
Impossible, irrational, and deeper than you could ever imagine until you see it up close. Wading in it is an impossibility. If you go for a swim in my waters, you're sure to drown. But you won't die.
When a writer loves you, she will spend most of her waking poeting hours trying to capture some essence of you: a touch, a smile, the color of your eyes...She'll wrap them in pretty words, similes, and metaphors and hand them to you like pristine Christmas gifts, sparkling and waiting for you to tear in. She hopes a bit of her own passion will seep into you in doing so.
Likewise, when I love, I am willing to give you my world and everything in it, even if that means that I myself and confined to a single shadow in a small isolated corner of it. When I love, those seas seem to expand inside me until my heart feels swollen and ready to burst. When I love, it can feel overwhelming, difficult to wrap your head around. I tend to gush.
My love is like glass oceans: I am fragile but far too stubborn to ever break.

Marble statues seem so solemn
And comparatively less still than us
As in the calm 11 o'clock evening
We are half adrift
Sleeping drunken off each others' presence
What is love if it is not being
Curled into the curve of your arm
And just being?
I can hardly remember the dark days from this view
I can hardly remember not having you
The heartbreak, when
Feeling lost never felt so good as feeling found.
I belong here
In the warmth of a summer night tucked into you
More than I've ever belonged in a place or time
Or ever will

she
is hot pink lipstick
she is white lace, long wavy brown hair
she is pretending not to know me
as well as her hands and eyes do
is pretending
she is allowed to be a mother this mothers day
allowed to have children after taking the child out of me
allowed to sit in the pews of this church
without the angels descending
and spontaneously combusting her body.
she is...smiling.
the serial killer in me would like to rip her jaws apart
to break that smile in half and make a necklace from her teeth
I am only reclaiming my bones and bits of me from her mouth
it's more pleasant this way
i don't belong to her anymore
i belong to me
