when he was born, God knew his divine timing would be slower
like the way roots grow in soil-stability is his safe haven
with the energy of this earth guiding him
protecting him
shielding him
and putting walls around him. he quickly learned
slow and steady would be his saving grace

when he was born, the world knew his gentle mind would mature quicker than his heart
a mere child with wishful thinking and endless hope in ideas of Santa clause, and one day going to space

he is, but a simple Taurus man now, who I have fallen hopelessly in love with

a Taurus sun, Capricorn moon and rising, awakening with
my Leo sun, Scorpio Moon, and Virgo Rising
i cannot help but see the beauty in his soul
even when he cannot

his hands were not made to fight, but to hold my heart that i selfishly put in his hands
he still somehow said "i won't hurt you"

he was meant to create, and discover the mysteries of the universe through his touch

he's gently undressed my mind, seen the chaos
witnessed the whirlwind of my soul
and showed me how to slow down the tornado that was my spirit
into a gentle breeze that cools us after we make love

his arms are strong to protect me from anything the world throws at me
yet he carries all my sorrows, and pain
into the endless abyss of all the hurt and trauma the world has given us, and yet he chooses to help me toss out mine before his

his mind, a galaxy of thoughts all on its own
his soul travels everyday through Mercury, Jupiter and Venus faster than the speed of light
and comes back to earth to help those he loves

and although his walls are made of concrete
the water i am made out of has slipped through just enough
to poke his heart, look at his soul through his obsidian eyes to say

"hello"
"how was your day?"
"can i ask you something?"
"are you okay?"
"what is a star made out of?"
"what's your favorite food?"
"what was your mom like?"
"do you want to watch anime together?"
"you can do anything you believe in, i believe in you !"
"angel numbers are real, honey"
"kiss me"
"do you want to go to your room?"
"keep going"
"i'm so sorry"
"i love you, so much"
"do you want to go shopping"
"you love me?"
"i love you too, i love you so much"
"we'll do this together".
