the soul is all alone
death creeps in
like an angry stork
before

storm

Don't rush love's unfolding, a story untold,
Let feelings take root, 'neath patience of gold.
Like seeds in the darkness, for sunlight, they wait,
Love's blossom unfolds, in its perfect state.

Embrace the first tendrils, a shy, sweet hello,
Gentle discoveries, as emotions all grow.
Shared laughter and secrets, in whispers, confide,
A tapestry woven, where two souls reside.

For love's journey is precious, each step to explore,
The laughter and tears are what hearts yearn for.
So cherish the moments, let passion ignite,
Don't hurry the journey, in love's gentle light.

Love rushed from his heart, a relentless tide,
Swept him off balance, nowhere to hide.
A hurricane force, a drumming in his chest,
A yearning he couldn't suppress or arrest.

Was it her laughter, a melody bright?
Or a glance that ignited his spirit's light?
The world seemed to shimmer, bathed in a new sheen,
Love's wildfire blazed, a passionate scene.

Fear whispered caution, a voice ever shrewd,
But love's relentless current carried him through.
For in that wild rush, a truth came to view,
Love's a force to embrace, daring, and true.

The storm's fury spent, grey clouds drift away,
Sun peeks through the wreckage, a brand new day.
Bruises may linger, a reminder of strife,
But love's tender hand brings hope back to life.

Broken branches mend, with nature's art,
Withered blooms awaken, with a vibrant new start.
Debris cleared and scattered, a fresh start is made,
Love is the strongest shelter, where hearts are unafraid.

Hand in hand we stand, surveying the scene,
A love that endures, forever evergreen.
Though storms may revisit, their power subdued,
Love after the storm, a stronger love imbued.

Lord, give me these wings I yearn to unfurl,
Not feathers and bone, but a spirit that's world-
Encompassing, soaring on currents unseen,
Beyond earthly burdens, a vibrant green scene.

Grant me the strength to rise above doubt's heavy hold,
To embrace challenges, brave and bold.
Let kindness and hope be the wind in my wings,
Carrying me onward, where joy truly sings.

With faith as my compass, I'll chart a new course,
Through valleys of sorrow, or skies filled with force.
Lord, give me these wings, a spirit to fly,
To touch the heavens, where dreams never die.

Your heart, a locket, a mystery held tight,
Secured by a key, unseen to the light.
Whispers of secrets it keeps safe within,
Stories untold, a treasure unseen.

Do memories echo, in chambers so deeply?
Loves loss and laughter, where emotions do sleep?
Is there a space, yet unclaimed and unknown,
Awaiting a key, to make it its own?

Perhaps I can offer, a key forged with care,
Honesty, trust, and a love we can share.
If your heart's locket finds a fit in its hold,
Love's melody plays, a story untold.
When your heart possesses a key and locket
