Tegan

Oh what a privilege,
to have known you.
I will carry a piece of you,
in my heart forever.

Agreed, that love is attraction
    - though not only surface sensual,
      as you maintain,
      not only toward the external -
But that sweet involuntary pull is
      also inward for expansion;
      for interior sifting
      and resolution.
Love is primarily attraction to
      unexplored depths
      of the self.

JA Perkins

She’s beautiful

Genuine like a child
Candid like an open book
Exotic like The Wild
Reassuring like a second look

My baby

Poet X

i swear i’m usually not a love poet

I swear I’m not a love poet but

loving you
makes me scared of dying .

I know what it’s all about now,
I get why the sun rises
and the moon sets.
I understand why the stars shine
and the birds chirp.
I get why the heart beats
and the lungs breathe.

I get it now,
why I’m alive.

loving you is the only thing I feel good at .

You will never be one of them.

A Poet

After a year

Could this be real
That after a year
I fell for you again

Stronger than the first time
Not drunk from wine
But from your cup of tea
Love as broad as the sea

I’m full of happiness and joy
My handsome and charming boy
The bound is stronger
And I adore you more than ever
My lover.
