#deeplove
A love that I once had, came with a hand— “hand me your heart,” like, "hand me your bra" While beneath candle-handful lights, unwrapping yourself slowly to my delight; as these large hands are quietly learning the language of your curves. Because after love is lost, what hand isn’t still searching for another heart to hold? A chest-hole remembers — a love it once had

What Hand Isnt Searching for Another Heart
Prisoners of feeling; filling empty-heart cages just to feel loved. Chocolate sea-salt skin; wanting a taste of something sweet enough to ruin us, deep enough to keep us. Eating out of your place, hours later calling it our place. Love moves fast like that— a fool at your every stop, the sentence only ending where you place that full stop. So leave commas between every breath; 2 AM, cold walls, two prison mates knocking through loneliness— once, twice, then thrice; both sides aching for escape. Maybe love is just two lonely hearts learning their touch by heart; and each other’s code.

Prisoners, Full Stops & Hearts
Two shaking lips, trying to speak; my words still learning the shape of me. Flirting speech, from romance lips; I’ll give you flowers— roses, lilies, dandelions, tulips, all pressed softly between every kiss, of these two lips. Grow yourself a garden; let my voice rain over you, plant this seed of belief deep beneath your ribs. Our tree will grow slowly, branches learning our names; and when the heat of the moment finally cools into comfort, we’ll rest beneath its shade... two souls, blooming from the same root of love.

Two Souls Blooming From the Same Root
Love across a spell, a four-letter word made from four fragile parts we spend lifetimes trying to understand. L — Looks fade; beauty is only the doorway, never the home. O — Obviously, we want someone with good looks, pleasing the eye at first. V — Versus the heart; what are good looks without a good heart to hold them? E — Every part of us; the flaws, fears, failures, doubts— are all part of becoming something, worthy of saying: “I love you.”

Four Letters, Four Parts
History writes itself, becoming like the sun; surrounded by stars, surround-sound chaos singing through all of us. Bodies built from utensils; food for thought the only menu we ever trusted. Claims of someone, feeling like magic on the tongue; sweet enough to make silence blush, warm enough to soften every cold place inside your ribs. Bones, muscle, presence— that’s all we are at first; until touch teaches the body another kind of language. Still waters in words, spring resting in a garden; to grow gently upon one's earth, like rain finally meeting their land; landing on soil tired of thirst. To learn somebody slowly, eye by eye, breath by breath; the scent of their soul opening up, like orchids after dark. Love, making history of us both; ploughing open guarded hearts, planting trust beneath skin, finding connection in the trembling bloom of being fully felt. And maybe that’s why history will always write itself— because human hearts have always longed to be touched deeply enough, to grow.

History Writes Itself
Moreover, the nights were never truly nights In this godforsaken city of lights. The streets were loud, the skies were grey, And I had long since lost my way. I had lost myself in empty views, In passing faces, in borrowed truths. I walked through life with a hollow soul, A man alive, but not whole. Until I saw you. And after that, what happened, happened. The world grew quiet, the air stood still, And something inside me bent to your will. Not by force, not by chain, But by a feeling I could not explain. I became your prisoner that very day, But not in a prison I’d run away from, In the kind where hearts choose to stay, Where losing freedom still feels like home. If this is madness, then this is my cure, If this is a wound, I’ll let it endure. Because something in my soul was struck, The moment I saw you, I won all luck.

Until I saw you
I did not fall by mistake.I saw the depth. I saw how far it went,how dark it could become, how there may be no way back. Still… I stepped closer.Not slowly, not carefully,but with open eyes and a willing heart. I wanted to lose myself in you. Not a part of me -all of me. Like a man who sees the sea at night and walks into it knowing the waves don’t return what they take. Your presence pulled me in, softly, silently,like gravity that doesn’t ask, only claims.I didn’t resist. I didn’t hold on to the shore. I let my name slip away.I let my thoughts fade. I let the world grow distant. There was only you. Your voice became my direction. Your silence became my space. Your eyes became the place where I wanted to disappear. Even if there were trenches below, even if the depth could break me, I still chose the fall. Because losing in you felt more real than being whole without you. So I went deeper!!. And deeper!!! And deeper!!!! Until there was no “me” left to return!!! Work from : To Her Who Already Knows!

Into you!!!!
I hope I never take for granted how deeply I'm loved Covered in kindness Chastised and taught with the utmost refinement Intention is always the kindest for real And even when pain leaves me utterly mindless my faith shows your kindness How gentle the nudges that show that You care I feel and recall when I question its real

Love, The Little Things. The brush of your perfectly made hair, Pushing it to the side— While it skates through the wind. Holding your pretty glowing arms In the sunrise glow, You in that dress - that you picked out Jumping through the fields Happy as could be. The late night talks. Only our hearts can remember The sound of your heart beat— Matching mine— While we talk about, What is to be. Our little playdates— To our favorite spots That only we know. The sound of your voice, That only calls to me. All your little quirks, That make my heart flutter. Have you loved someone so much, They know there your heart— You know there your armor? When you know your soul— is one.

Interlinked.
"Thou, I can't tell what I need, Yet in thy heart, it's already known. I will whisper, I will resist— Be my sapphire, I, your metal. Molded to hold, forged to protect, For one to be yours, I am black— Ever beneath you, unseen but near."

Ring: Sapphire Held in Metal"
"If we part this time, who knows if we’ll ever meet again— Maybe in stories that were soon meant to end, On pages that fate refused to turn. Like a rose that once blushed in the sun, Now kissed by the midnight moon—just like my heart, Still longing for the touch of yesterday."

If we part this time......
I want to build a home with you a place pieced together of words, passed from you to me. Eventually, the walls will breathe, and they, too, will whisper through our bones. No matter how old we get, they will still be there. Although neither of us will completely own this home, what we will own is how it makes us feel and the memories we'll soon sit on like furniture. A place we'll come to spend most of our time, an inner standing that it will house both of us, no matter how we choose to express ourselves. The first meal we'll have, I'll season with my smile so you can taste what I taste and feel what I feel when I see you. Then you'll understand why I have nothing to hide, why I open and include you in different places in my life. In this home I want to build with you, there isn't a wind or a force that could blow it down. Even if we were to separate, my hands will still remember how we built it brick by brick, the mortar sealed with a kiss from your lips

Brick by Brick
For a moment we’re in perfect harmony. There is no fear. No worry. Finding purpose in each other. Whether the shadows creep through the night. Or the sun lives out loud during the day. There is but a moment Followed by an embrace, then a click. Unlocking parts of you that I only anticipate. Though circumstances may vary. This moment I relive, even away from you. The way that you sigh, the way that you Twist and the way that you turn. No matter where I’ve been. You tumble then you click for all to hear. A sigh released into forever. Echoing down its hallway. No matter how tight you squeeze. I am here. No matter how stubborn you may become. I am here. Until the day I no longer exist. No matter how many hands I may pass through. I can never replace the way that you hold me.

WARNING:
I build myself but She hands me the tools with hard worked hands of a sensual warrior. She does not abuse them But plucks strings harmoniously to cast a spell of peace and tranquillity She; the apple catches my eye In the midst of a storm and steadies me Her eloquence a spirit that guides me gently back down to Earth Where her tender chest absorbs me in sweetness as I mould into she who nurtures my soul With intimacy

Ocean Water
Love is the rain, and it's the shade. Love is the colour, and it's the fade. Love is the dark, and it's the light. Love is the peace, and it's the fight. Love is the lost, and it's the path. Love is the joy, and it's the wrath. Love is the ***** and it's the pure. Love is the pain, and it's the only cure

Love
I could never love you, the way people think I can I love you in many ways, complex ways, simple ways, hard ways but never the way people think I can. I love you as much as the universe loves her stars, I love you as much as the rain hitting your bare skin. but never in the way people think I can. They think I can only love someone lightly, softly, friendly, platonically I love you as Alexander the Great loved Hephaestion. Secretly, deeply, intensely.

I love you, but not the way people think
The secret of love, Of remaining together... Is not what everyone supposes. It is not always the bringing of gifts, The candlelight dinners Or bouquets of roses. After the bloom is off these loving flowers, Irritations and troubles arise. There are clashes Over little things. And lovers forget The vows they made so easily, Violating them with anger. Old resentments from the past Rise up to poison with enmity, The nearness that will not last. Those with wisdom shun these fights, The sad agony of lonely nights, Lying awake and wondering If love still exists, or if one matters, To the other, if one cares at all. Over time, self-protection grows, And the lover builds a rancorous wall Where weeds choke sunlight from the rose And the other cannot hurt you. But the play still goes on, Like a song that still repeats, Over and over unnoticed. And a pantomime of caring Begins to form, with hollow smiles And half-hearted promises. The Rose now lists against the wall, Pale and tamed, like a common plant, A vegetable in a kitchen garden. And lovers expect passion From a dreary fruit like this? But once in a thousand times, Deep roots that began long ago, Giving rise to the first flower of love, Last beyond boredom, thirst and drought. Thorns pierce their hearts through the wall, Bringing tears of surprise and recall. The lovers find after the rain: They have what they have sought. And that which they sought is all. Summer 2018

The Wall and the Rose
My love is vast and infinite, Heart falling fast and intimate. My love is strong and powerful, Not feeling wrong or sorrowful. My love is deep and without bounds, It’s yours to keep as it surrounds. My love is real and forever, Our kisses seal us together. My love is you and yours alone, No love more true I’ve ever known.

My Love Is...
if the ocean were to take you i'd jump in after you i’m a pretty decent swimmer yet not one that can save the waves are stronger than my will but i’d tread ice cold water to hold you close once more the tides can pull us under the current can drag us out the seaweed can wrap us closer i'd have neither fear nor doubt i'm sure we'd find Atlantis or possibly grow some gills i'm sure love under water is an even bigger thrill

Siren Call
You promised me forever even in a life that is temporary and you broke two things with one word. “Bye” We try so hard for a life that’s good Until we’re all numb. Until we have been hurt so much that we say we’re fine. Until we look into the mirror and see all the good things that we are not instead of seeing the good things that we are. Until we’re all too blind to past all the lies that society shows. Until the light runs out leaving all of us in the dark, with nothing to say or do except lay there and look up at the thousands of stars of the cold and bitter night and one day eventually fall asleep. Until that icy glacier covering your heart freezes more. Until we take a breath in and can’t let it out because everytime that you let someone go it hurts and you know you possibly can’t let go another. Until someone can’t grab you and hold you tight like an anchor to reality. So promise me you won’t break my heart again even though I know you will.                             ~n.r.

Promise
Let me take you , Into my fathomless fantasy. Let me uncover , What it feels like to be the one to love. I see our bodies pressed against each other. Fragrances binded into one. Lips being sober. Adrenaline pumping it's pace over . I sense your heartbeat against mine And I hear everything , From the whispers to the moans and the sound of your breathe . You loose sweat , you cry , you sleep , you care , and you love tooo? I lay confused . I thought you did not exist for real. I thought you were made of metaphors.
