ah how kindly
he strokes your peach fuzz covered cheeks

he stares into your deep brown eyes
and you feel him looking into your soul

you connect as his hand
reaches for yours, interlocking

finger woven through finger
blazing heat lingers between your palms

your mind melts
your heart tightens

you can't think of anything
except for how you feel

heart is pounding
can he tell?

hands are shaky
surely he knows.

breath is stiff
don't pass out.

so kind and comforting
are thoughts of him

your gaze slowly drifts back to his face
and you stare with intent

you melt and re-melt
everytime he blinks

each second you hold your stare
his presence becomes warmer

he is so beautiful
you think to yourself

your faces grow closer
nose touching nose

your heart stops racing
you've grown calm

yay
thinking of really happy recent memories usually brings on this type of poetry.

I'm homesick for a place to which I cannot return
a home that maybe was never mine for the taking,

A home where I once was my most authentic self
it was a home like no other

A salvation,

My heart is restless for home I once called love.

If you were feeling like it was so right,
Then you most probably ignored the wrong.
If you have never had to have a fight,
Then you kept anger in to get along.

If you have never cried like this before,
Then you had never opened up your heart.
If you think none will love you anymore,
Then you should know that now is when you start.

If you’re alone unable to explain,
Then you are stuck in someone else’s head.
If you think that despair is part of pain,
Then you should love somebody good instead.

The man you loved before was fraudulent.
A worthy man won’t hurt you with intent.

My stomach hurts from the anxiety I feel everyday.
I can't possibly describe it any other way.
When I wake up from the two hours of sleep I had that night
I feel the pain creep in just like a bright light.
It shines it's darkness all around me
And whispers things that quickly drain my glee.
It makes my head and stomach ache.
It makes me think all the times I felt fake.
I get up and go to the bathroom
To look into my mirror of absolute doom.
It shows my face: exposed and pale
Because lately my state of mind has made me so frail.
I know it's a cliche emo thing to say
But why did my life have to end up this way?

I am walking on a land
so full of wonders,
I get to eat its fruits and water so holy,
I too become holy
Lucky am I to have eyes,
to witness its dreamy trees and plants,
to feel the sun kissing my soul with it's rays of light

Stepping on this green land beneath my feet, I am healed
The breeze of air gently touching my hair
The smell of the beautiful natural surrounding, I can't get enough of
My ears are blessed everyday with the sound of birds

Truly magical is the beauty of nature,
why can't you see?
I am swimming in paradise
and I am not the only one,
miraculous is the Mother Earth,
because it lets all creatures to swim
in this eternal bliss ♡
I wrote this when I was 18.
It was a beautiful summer day and we were visiting a local arboretum. I saw so many different kinds of flowers, plants, trees I've ever seen in my life that time.
As i was walking the long evergreen paths,
i realized how much beauty there truly is all around us. All the gifts of life that we have taken for granted. My eyes opened and it was nourishing my soul. I started to appreciate all that i see, all that ever was given to me.

aren’t you tired of looking for love?
aren’t you tired of waiting for it?
the love like a movie like a song like a story like a dream like a poem?
aren't you tired?
isn’t your hope weary?
and, don’t you see?
love has always been here,
the love you crave,
the love like a movie like a song like a story like a dream like a poem
love like a river like a waterfall like an ocean
love like this morning like this breath like this moment?
