As our bodies met
You looked me in the eyes
and asked me what I wanted
Without a second thought
I replied simply
'You.'
I had never been more honest in my life.

have you ever sat staring
out a rain-battered window,
sky grey,
clouds low
and wondered where the rain ends?
a cease in the downpour is
not just a when
but a where too.
it is true that
somewhere in the drenched city
is an avenue,
one side wet,
the other dry.

You might think it’s impossible
or you may have never thought of it at all,
But I do believe there’s such a thing
as a response that could never come too late.
For it would be fine for you to tell me in 5 years,
when you think my life has caused me to forget you,
and you would find my love still as strong as it is today.
Or in 15, when I’ve found someone else,
and I would still be ready to find you all over again.
You could tell me in 40, so we could retire early,
and do our best to make up for lost time.
Or in 60, so we can lie together in our last few years, holding each other as we die.
Love, if you could tell me in a century that you feel the same as I do now,
no doubt all of my essence, my elements, my own recycled atoms
would be sure to find yours again,
no matter what star, what planet they reside on.
For no matter when you say you love me too,
it could never come too late.

your name is
a poem on its own
it needs no
rhyme or meter

I never wanted you to hear,
About my troubled past of younger years,
You knew before meeting,
Already judging before seeing,
The gentle soul I am,
I would never hurt you,
Use or desert you,
Like ones have done before.

Sunlight is so beautiful
The warmth from a gentle touch can go so far
The sun provides all needs
Food, water, warmth
It’s a necessity
It plays a game of hide n’ seek as the days go by
But when it goes, the moon replaces it
It’s cold, here without the sun
The days go by as the sun reappears and disappears
I find myself going inside to hide from the sun
After a few months went by, I felt the area freeze
The ground became hard without bearing fruit
I feel myself collapse from within
You were my sunshine
Desolate is the description of the land left behind
I am that land
And if I am the land and you were the sun
There is no longer life on this planet.

Is it the reflection of my heart
in your eyes
or the light you bring to my life?
It’s a room I enter
every time I think of you.
As I close the door behind me,
I wonder why anyone would ever leave such a place.
Is it you who gave your heart away
or did he just reach inside you and take it for himself?
It’s a selfishness that is stronger than lust.
As I force you to notice me,
I wonder how anyone would ever let you go.
Is it the beating of my heart that keeps me awake
or am I afraid of the dream realized?
It’s a moment I always regret.
I awaken and you’re not with me.
I wonder, now, why anyone would ever live inside a fantasy.
