Oh running water, take me
with your gentle waving
from the path from whence I bravely came
running
running, myself
Oh, life in footsteps along, in lively strides,
through the deadly passes taught me well
and at last, I passed, so please
Oh running water, take me

Wrapped up in this circle, still, hurting while you
wait for haunting when I'm gone
Pay the spirit flame forward, will you?
--And allow me to leave taking the memory as
a boon and blessing. Soon I'll arrive to
watch you leaving, till then
you wear my blessing, too.

All while waiting to pass,
may you pass through well

the jade flecks in your eyes
form captivating constellations
that confess to me
the depth of your devotion.

if i found it in me
if i travelled to the depths of my humanity
and carved out a fragment of my soul
and wrapped it up in shiny paper
would you grant me a favor
would you take it

if i held your hand smiling
if you then followed me blindly
and i lit a pathway
and the flicker cast shadows on the wall
would you stay or would you crawl
would you let go

if you remained at my side
if i spoke of all the nights i've cried
and you fixed your gaze on your feet
and in your eyes was fear
would you whisper in my ear
would you tell me you still loved me

you're tracing circles
on my skin again. maybe,
we can stay right here.
Love too strong for
those who bear it
is a curse invoked
by a deficit of worth.

It is not enough to
seek validation through
a proxy designated
Heaven on Earth.

With no center of gravity,
no anchor in character,
obsession is the limit
of the capacity to love;

Projecting impossible
desires and untenable
expectations amounts
to blasphemy of.

True love may not be
forever or easy;
parting may never
be pleasant to bear;

Love is not merely
what's pleasing or comfortable;
love is a crucible;
love is not fair.

Those fleeting failures
and moments of error
are chances at triumph,
a challenge to change.

Breaking our boundaries,
ballooning outward:
love is inevitably
savage and strange.

Unbefitting to cling
to the bridge that enables
a star in its wand'ring
to cross the abyss;

To carry the ballast
of vast insecurity
over that chasm,
untenable risk;

Or swallow the poison
of foolish dependence
on whimsical paramours,
obesiance thereof,

To be hung from the neck
by detestable premises,
weak and debased
by untenable love.
To learn how to love well, we must accept everything it throws at us - including heartbreak and thwarted expectations.

When we were in our teens we were convinced that we had so much love to give, so much love to be in....But then break up after break up, you realize something: that wasn't love. Love is a force that exceeds past relationships. It is not to be confused with freshness or infatuation because when you finally fall in love it consumes your life, inevitably. It doesn't matter where your "relationship" stands, all that matters is that you love that person.

Please be careful with my heart

Please be careful of my fragile heart-
it is something one must bear with.
Like any other glassware package,
It is must be handled with care.

Please be careful of my fragile heart-
it has gone through thick and thin,
and ups and downs of a giant mountain range
as it always felt like a lonely wanderer

There is a tremendous and mighty force,
that pushes it to go on.
It runs and runs forever
but never finds that lost someone.

And when it does, he goes away
Avoids the girl who he called to stay.
He has brought it to a cliff
where it could jump off or live.

And so this is where its story ends,
if it did fall of the cliff.
please be careful of my fragile heart-
for as long as I shall live.

Love can hurt; it can turn you around and upside down. Love can heal; it can fix you when your messed up and drained. Love can make you happy; it creates little moments that two people enjoy and remember forever. Love can be mysterious; it can make you do the craziest things.

If I had to know one thing forever and the rest will be erased: I'd know what love is and how to love. For love can do so many things and even if it hurts or it heals I will love you with every single cell in my body, with every blood rushing through my veins and with every breath I inhale and exhale. From head to toe, I just vow to love and care for you whatever happens to us, good or bad. If you're a traveler and your destination was my heart, it certainly made it.

these night are lonely without you, my love
but i possess no fear
i know my life will be full of nights with you
the nights where we stay up for hours talking
the nights that lead their way into dawn
when the sun begins to come up
peaking through our window
as i tenderly kiss you
as we softly fall asleep
lying in each other's warm embrace
the nights full of passion and excitement
the eagerness to please one another
the deep kisses, the stares full of longing
the moans, the breaths
the ultimate pleasure in our hands
where nothing could possibly stop our love from blossoming
and the nights that we call early
the nights where we are too tired to even speak
but never too tired to softly kiss
subtly caress each other
admire each other with just our hands and lips
the nights where we fall asleep within moments
only because we are at such peace with each other
next to the one we love
for eternity
for always
thank you, my love
for a future full of endless nights
tonight i look forward to you
to them
to forever
thank you all for the reception my last poem received. i hope this one reaches you all in the same way.

I looked at you and I knew how
Truly Deeply in love I was

Your eyes glistening like stars
Your smile brightening my heart

I thought of you and I knew how
Truly Deeply in love I was

Your arms entangling me in love
Your heart capturing me in warmth

I felt your touch and I knew how
Truly Deeply in love I was

Because my heart skipped a beat
every time your soft skin touched mine

I listened to you and I knew how
Truly Deeply in love I was

Your words sending me into deep though
Your words making me feel loved

I thought about losing you and I knew
how
Truly Deeply in love I was

Feeling hollow, empty at the thought

You are the reason I am
Truly and Deeply in love
