Don't dwell
Too much on the deep
For even though you’ll find beauty
Behind every light
Could be sharp teeth

You entered a stranger
Pouring down like rain
You came through like a storm
And stole my heart away

As time went on
You intensified
But then all of the sudden
We hit the eye

The eye was large
Filled with silence and peace
But I always thought
I don’t want this storm to cease

We got to the other end
Of the deadening peace
But only to find the storm
Oh so weak

But the feeling of rain
These kisses on my face
Keep my feet going
To return us to the storm

The way is blocked
Hurting only you
You can still help others
But your creativity stopped
You have Creative Constipation
And there is one way to make it stop

Face your fears
Try something new
Make a memory
Get scraped a few
Take a Creative Laxative
Get those juices flowing again

Then you’ll have
Creative Diarrhea
Ideas flowing forth
In the forms
Of line or verse
Movie or paint
Everything you see
Will be touched
By your creative spree

All I see if your love
All I feel is your hand
All I smell is your perfume
All I hear is you breathe in your sleep

As I see you cry
I feel your pain
As I hear your sobs
My body tears away

I see you rejoice
I hear you laugh
I feel your love
You take my breath away

You entered a stranger
Pouring down like rain
You came through like a storm
And stole my heart away

I used to not care for you
But now I wait every day
For you to be on
So I can talk my heart away

You’re sometimes busy
Sometimes in pain
But I know
You care every day

I helped you
You helped me
I wish we could meet
So desperately

Print this out
Hold it close
Always remember
You're my most

I still owe you proof
Of why you are amazing
But I didn’t want to sound too stupid
Or too crazy
Or utter cliché things
That wouldn’t cause you to move

Here is why you’re amazing
Because you saved a boy’s life
Both inside and out
You loved this demon
When it didn’t deserve love
You mended its scars
As soon as they were cut

Because of you
A scared little boy’s shell
Wasn’t shattered apart,
Just slowly chipped
Till the rest fell apart

You brought a smile
To a lonely nerd
You took his hand
When he was used to air
You lay on his shoulder
And made him stiffen like Medusa’s stare
And gave him a journal
That he filled with his despair

You are an angel
Because you love
You love Mom
You love Dad
You love my siblings
And you love nature
You caused me to grow
And love those I didn’t really know
Loulou
Will
Aunt Ginger
Jesus, God

You are outstanding
Because you care
About friends
And strangers
You sacrifice yourself
For others to be happy
You put yourself towards the bottom
So others can feel the top

You are amazing
Because you made a loner loser
Keep a jar
Of bubble soap
To blow away is pain
And hope to share with his princess one day

You’ve made a child
Who hasn’t cried in years
Bawl at the thought
That you wouldn’t be near
Or that he caused our tears

You’ve caused an arrogant gent
To stop and think
On whether it was time to grow up
Or lose his love
To stop and stare
At the road ahead
And the consequences of the path he led

You have known this “knight”
Who wears a tattered worn
Gym school uniform
And gave him hope
That he wouldn’t grow old alone

You met a child
In 2009
Whom you’ve help mold
Almost a third of his life
Into a man
Who he is proud of today

I know this is long
And it’s time for bed
But I couldn’t go another day
Without telling you the way
On which you have changed forever
The heart and mind
Of my person and my life
You are gorgeous
You are intelligent
You are stunning
But most of all
What I love over all
Is the fact that I have
The privilege to state the fact
That I love you
And that you are
Absolutely
Perfectly
Hands down
The most
Amazing person
That has ever
Entered my life

Don't shoot for perfection
For you'll certainly miss
Let perfection fall into place
Because what isn't known
Will bring the most bliss
