We are forever alive, just one day will be physically deceased.

The smells, the charm, the love, and thee harm, shall go a great way even after death and the upbringing of grandchildren.

The words you spoke, the risks you took, and the lives you changed, are forever stories now, but were once reality and shall forever remain true. You may be taken by death but, you will forever be in my heart and my memory.
This is so horrific writing

I
watched you grow old
your
perpetual motion
a
graceful presence
the
circumference of pure love
.
To my wife.

Someone told me
"love looks at decent
ones "

I nodded, sighed, and smirked
but love
made me
like
this

Unleashed my curls
broke my walls
shattered
my people-pleasing
sharpened my poetry
silenced my loud voice
widened my eyes
encouraged my heart
undressed my façade
made me dance naked
in the face of judgement,
sing the songs of truth
and fall in love with
all things wrong
right, left, ugly, beautiful
and gave strength
to the choice that
always stood in the back
but now takes center stage

"Love left me right",
"Love leaving, made me write"
I replied
*Right, write!
