maybe not now, not quite today,
but somewhere down the winding way,
when time feels right and skies align,
your path will gently cross with mine.

i won’t rush fate, i’ll let it flow,
there’s still so much we’ll come to know.
no need for maps, no need to see—
we’ll meet again. we’re meant to be.
we dance dust about the details of each day

we clasp hands and sing our tiny songs

we are quick to remember but even quicker to forget

one day the earth will quietly ask to take me back

to offer quiet closure

perhaps with the promise of a star spark or a cloud igniting in a sunset

perhaps i will receive nothing at all

when this body rinses from these bones i shall be far away

or I shall be right beside you

mystery is as simple as that
I'd bathe in a sunlit room,
over a silver moon
any day,
To feel the warm magic
of a winter June,
it's a new summer baby,
We may well both be here after midnight,
I'll bring a kiss beneath the twilight
Pull the sun out of the sky

I’m not scared for you to lose me, you meeting a soul is lucky
It’s like you found peace, with a kind of presence
And the language we speak, knowing you, you'd tell
For how loud my heart beats happiness

Just as arms of yours are so strong,
Stretched the same as mine, we hold
Tightly before the day mourns
Twilight laying in your warmth

You get it, how intimate it gets
I'm an easy catch
My words become your words, they come easy like breath
I’m curious to learn you, and the surrender,
For when it comes to you,
Its easy to forget,

That I’m not scared of falling in love, gravity is my friend
I’m not afraid to show you my silly sides,
You may well be both my strength and weak signs
I’m not afraid to show you off, oh the sun don't hold secrets,

Never really felt like this
With anyone when I write
You keep me warm,
Wrapped in sunshine,
Clear skies,
With you all day long

No I can't cry for days like this
To be with someone right
When it feels warm
Not with anyone, I,
Hope no clouds are in sight,
None but just the sun
She dreamed herself a childhood dream,
for someone to be you, truly
Someone to quieten my mind
Beautiful boy with soft eyes,
He looks at her

His eyes tell stories
Shared to me and my hand be well and fell into cheek
Oh but dreaming our life would be all real magic

If skies were like warm sheets
I’d fall through the clouds, right in a blanket of stars,
‘Cause laying with you is all I need

The truth is that,
Baby, we’re timeless,
Just a lonesome girl, you only just met
At the right time, place,
the right moment
"Look at me", he says,
Look at what she finally shares:

"I feel giddy and safe,
not scared to be frisky in our ways
When I’m around you
It’s silly to bathe
In thoughts that are about you always

Your long gaze leaves me mad,
The next second the madness melts away
The staring leaves me to question this:
'If it’s just a connection',

Let every step of it be the way
I'm just asking,
Taking it slow with you, day by day
And I hope for the best

For me, foundation is key,
For we build what rests,
and that's all it is for us to be,
and then what we pray for is really granted, see

So what if I broke into your home of a heart
It was you, always you, how you simply stole mine,
And we were thieves of our own
Not bothered by catching happy highs

We played each others' heart strings,
And playing all these love songs I used to sing,
A love that once burned me- it now transforms, lives on,
By every delicate push we make on each others' childhood swings

We live our lived dream, I dreamt alive for-
I can’t believe if it's for the first time it’s sure
A great find and quick to measure time together
Every easy road that winds before us
Makes it worthwhile, to even trust
And to treasure life forever

It was not of a path of love I always spoke of,
For I’d never write anything other than to fill a well with teary emotions
That is poured on out, and rains onto the dead,

And for this, it may well be my last poem,
'Cause, you’re all that there is …
The only love,
Needed to be found,
Needed to be said."
Do not seek love as you seek gold,
For in the heart, it’s always bold.
It is the stillness, the quiet sound,
Where truth and beauty can be found.
