I have always been weary
of putting names in my poems
in fear that I will never be able to take
my confessions back
but when is a good day to tell you
that I have loved you in every lifetime

In the past we were entangled in each other

One life we were shooting stars
another we laid lazily in fields of wildflowers
a love too strong to explain through words
so we didn’t speak
instead you embodied the beauty of spring
a way to remind us of those April days
when nothing existed outside of each other

We hid our love behind buttercups and daisies
maybe that’s why I love to bring you flowers
to feel the flicker of a spark we shared
in a lifetime so long ago

In another lifetime we read quietly together
over coffee in smoky French cafe’s
we underlined passages
that we would read each other in secret
our love withstanding a time
when it was criminal to look at one another
with the type of love we shared

I don’t know if I have ever loved you loudly
there are no muscle memories
of me shouting your name from rooftops
or unapologetically holding your hand
without fear of repercussions
—even now I don’t know how to form the words
“I love you”
without looking around to see who’s listening
even after all this time I love you in secret
I still can’t put your name in my poems
but i promise in one of our lifetimes
I’ll write your name in every poem
and tell you that I’m in love with you out loud
someday the words
won’t feel stuck in my throat
but I hope that’s in a lifetime sooner than later

its difficult being without you
in ways i could never have thought of
in so many i am grateful
but in others i am destroyed
its you,
in the shadow of my psyche

maybe i found happiness in your smile
or the way you made me feel grounded,
the way you touched my soul
losing you is not easy
losing you is like leaving part of myself behind
but its that part i need to let go of
and in the act, i will grow stronger

I stare at you and I suddenly fall in love
Gazing into your handsome bright eyes,
You make me feel so special every day.
Hearing your voice makes my heart skip of joy
You’re always there for me then,
and you still there for me now
Never let me down and
I trust you with all my heart
Even when I see you with another woman
My heart is so at peace
You make me feel true love every minute of the day even now that you are far
And each time I remember your softly kisses on me,
You take my breath away and
You’ve shown me how to smile and to be so happy every day
And because of this sweetheart
I'll love you forever each and every single day.
Trust me darling.
I am waiting for you,my TWINFLAME.
Got no choice but to obey the universe.

There’s this story
In my head
Where I lock my heart up
Tight
And you try every key
And can’t get in despite
How hard you try
To let me know
We are meant to be together.
That story is just sweeter
Than not loving me
Forever.

Our souls crossed
And told the lies
We’d be together
But then the cries
Wailed from hearts
Breaking in denial
Who thought
They’d withstand the
Trial of
Time.
Turns out souls don’t wait
They dissipate
And leave the wreckage
Behind.

Despite my desire
To not think about
You
The caged bird
Inside me
Still sings
