when I began to write
poetry

I was amazed to find
that I even
had a voice.

It was a gift
that I never
hoped for.

I only tried to share the light.
But there was too much
darkness.

Little by little
I had to write
about the monsters
in the deep.

And my writing
got to be
unrecognizable.

I thought to myself
Those couldn't be
my words.

Sometimes it felt like I was
in a grave
in a big old box
Which seemed to extinguish
The flame that ignited in the first place
And so here I am
trying to balance injury
with hope for a new future

That may be called
healing.

Listen if you want,
I’ll sing you a song,
It’s my favorite one,
The song about love;
About love that lasts
For ever and ever long.
In the melody of this song
I’ll open the door to my soul
And without any parole
You’ll hear the words,
They belong to the only one,
Who means the world to me,
The one I would to love to live with happily,
The one my heart longs for,
The one I am on the right shore.
This song is about my flights
In the very blue sky.
This song is about my swims
In the seas and oceans
On the big waves,
Waves of passion and love emotions.
Come on! Sing along!
If you want to know
How real love grows
Come on! Go!

I know you from the way you bring out the absolute best in me
I know you from the way you push me to do things I’m scared of
I know you because you’re always there to catch me when things go wrong
I know you because you make the little things in life fun

I know you by how you believe in me more than even I do
I know you by the way you’ve taught me to believe in love and all those sappy songs
I know you by how you stood by me when others didn’t
I know you by how you’re able to understand me more than anyone can

I know you from the way I hate you
I hate you because I can’t live without you,
So I know you and you know me
And baby that’s the way I always want it to be .....

She gives me that kind of feeling.
You know the kind I'm talking about.

The relief of hearing”Good morning“ every day you get up, clarifying that she is fine.

The feeling of how you are completely spellbound that she’s yours and how you pray it lasts forever

The butterflies in your stomach-wait, scratch that- the ******* fire breathing dragon in your lungs whenever you see her

The rush of texting her back and the interlude before her replies

The magic in the memories you’ve created and how your  every thought and dream revolves around her

The feeling that you know you'll be okay in the future, cause the love is unconditional and also cause you know she is real, walking, alive, and the best thing that has ever happened to you, that feeling
I think that is a good enough feeling!❤️

Would it be ok if I took some of your time?
Would it be ok if I wrote you a rhyme?
Would it be ok if I opened my heart?
Would it be ok if I took on the part
Of being your man and showed you a view,
One that only a real man could do?
Would it be ok if I could make you smile.
Would it be ok if I were to replace
All the men in your past that just wouldn't do
And vow to be faithful and always be true?
Would it be alright to look in your eyes?
Would it be alright to never tell lies?
Would it be alright to find a way?
Would it be alright to long for the day
To pull you close and whisper in your ear
And tell you our feelings are nothing to fear?
Would it be ok if I took some of your time?
Would it be ok if I wrote you a rhyme?
To tell you there's nothing I'd rather do
Than spend my whole life loving only you!

I was finally getting over this stupid thing called love
But something happened on that day, during that encounter,
However disinclined I was , I couldn't help myself
It was a moment of weakness and I gave in
Was it desire or was it the feeling of love I felt for you
Whatever it was I was under your spell and I guess I could say
you were the spark that rekindled the flame in my aching heart

Someday when I'm a little wiser
I'll write a song for you
Someday we'll stay up and talk all night
And complete all those conversations we couldn't
Someday when things are a little less awkward
We'll look each other eye to eye
Someday when I get the courage
I'll tell you everything
Someday when the time is right
I'll tell you how I really felt all those years
It might be the hardest thing I ever do
But Someday I will.
I promise that.......
