i cried
when you left
not over losing you
i cried
tears of joy
because i found myself
the man i ignored
for so long
the boy who
silently waited
in my shadow
to be acknowledged
your loss
my gain
there's always that phase in life that we never get used to.
like a favorite song, we rewind it and let the notes break us.
im collecting old poems i wrote 3 years ago so dont mind me
even in autumn
she wore flowers
in her hair

as if
they belonged
next to her beautiful
mind

like the daisies
belonged
growing within
the grass

she was an angel
in a summer dress
whispering
to me
her darkest secrets

like precious gifts
she spilt them
from her sweet tongue
into my mouth

and i knew
i would
never again
go hungry

as i ate

every

single

one
I need to write again, i feel it. In my chest, my heart. I feel it in the back of my throat. It aches so deliciously :)
When I think of you, my whole day gets better. I often wonder how you are when are apart. I often imagine your beautiful smile the twinkle in your brown eyes as we talk and I tell you I love you for the thousandth time. I'm always thinking about the last things we spoke about whether it be the cabin, greenhouse, or our adventures as we pursue our careers together. I think the times were we cooked the french toast, you teaching me a new card game, our us lounging on the couch, thr days we lay in bed talking sharing stories. Everytime I think of you my love grows even more. Sometimes I dream of the day we marry. But everytime I think of you, I reach that blissful state only you can bring.

I read in the paper
The other day
How someone was beaten
Because they’re gay
Did their assailants hope
To beat it away?
And what does their behavior
Actually say?

Homosexualaity, they might
Not understand
But who said they had to
Become a fan?
In order for their minds
To be able to expand
People are as individual
As are grains of sand

Those who attack people
Because they’re gay
Question themselves
A lot of smart people say
Why else would they
Go out of their way?
In order to indicate
They don’t find it okay

What do their preferences
Have to do with them?
Nobody cares
About who they bend
Or whether they have
A happy end
So shouldn’t we all
Mind our own business then?
