twenty something

It's funny how years and years go by
in a place
where pain once burrowed
so intently
at that time
when it had nothing else to do
but torture my limbs
and make heavy my knees
i remember hating my feet
for weeks I didn't speak
defeat
that swelled my eyes
I was a baby
and you were mine
and I chased you
like a dog
I was always a dog
I followed you to the end of your smile
and kissed it so many times
more than I'd ever kissed anyone
still to this day
I praise you
much differently than then
of course
we are both women now
we still share the same friends
but you're never around when I'm with them
I get this, it's different
and I don't even mean to think about it
I just remember growing
and you were always around
and I always chased you
I think I still chase you
and I know i'm still growing
I've just always needed to say thank you for that

Lunar
beware when you fall in love
with an artist
be it a painter, a singer, or poet

for the artist will
paint you
with strokes and hues
in shapes of every kind

sing about you
with heartbreak lyrics
and feelings which rhyme

write about you
with the simplest words
and a secret message she wants to say

beware of the artist,
and her love
one wrong move
and you're an artwork in her display
I wake up every morning to you
My heart immediately
gravitates towards your light

You are intoxicating
Your lights fuels me
You give me hope to drowns my fears

When my pillow is soaked in tears,
Your comfort soothes my sleep

Your grace is amazing
When my love is lazy
My faith is wavering

There is no persuading... You love me still

In my turbulence
through every known flaw... You are unconditional

I pray
I question
I repent
I weep
I fret with uncertainty
I over-seek
sometimes I must repeat
i'm inconsistent
at times weak
other times too strong
many times wrong

No matter my station
Your decision remains firm

Your are mine
I will never leave you
I will never forsake you
I am with you eternally

You are mine
I will guide you through life's journey

God.**

You are my delicate melody ..
You exhilarate me, rejuvenate me ..
You reverse my distress,
Into your fairy dance ..
We aim to share countless delightful times,
with memories all our remaining life ..
