I need you to understand this single,unwavering truth. If I taste the salt of the ocean spray, or feel the sun’s first gentle touch on a dewy morning, if I hear a melody that cracks the sky open or hold a silence so deep it hums with the weight of the world— every sensation,every breath, becomes a map, and every map leads only to you. The world is not the world without you in it; it is merely a draft of a story,waiting for your name. But, if one day your heart grows quiet, if the light in your eyes for me dims and fades, my own heart will not beg. It will learn the art of silence, mimic your distance, and build a fortress from the absence you leave behind. If you ever let me go, do not expect to find a ghost of me pining at your door. I will have become the storm,not the shattered window. I will have taught my roots to thirst for a different rain, and I will grow toward a new sun,fierce and entire. However— if with every dawn,you choose me anew, if your soul reaches for mine in the chaos of the day, a constant,magnetic north, then,my love, know this: You have built a universe inside my chest. A supernova of impossible light. Every word you speak fans the eternal flame, and every touch is a baptism. I am yours not out of habit, but by destiny’s unbreakable decree. My love is not a candle to be snuffed out; it is the very oxygen that feeds the fire. And as long as your heart beats my name, I will be its echo,its rhythm, its unceasing reply. I will be the shelter around you and the ground beneath you, never leaving,always holding, forever yours.

"where night is....love in the shadows or the freedom of the wind" night, dark shadows swept under the trees that scatter whispering that they are soaked in the ice-breath of the sky, the night has fled, her dreams the fleeing wind, questioning the skies where the clouds fade to nothing, kings of the crumbling hills, if i tell you i love you you'll always love me back because it is in my seams, seamstress that i am of island flowers and strange ghosts, flower of ink where the darkness flows away and the stars trace their silver maps. i hold all my love in a quiver and like a god i'll slay you with just one arrow if you ever leave me like a dust, link my arm as we walk so boldly through the dark shadows of the night, where the wind flees and the moon steers her way through our passions and trials, we cry out to the wilderness that breathes us, and while i cry i kiss your neck, your eyes your lips.

where night is....
he is gone.... night's dark shadows flit and shake, shadow breezes sing of past love, when i kissed him our love was a bowl of exquisite rose, lust ripped at our bones sunk into them like a gold sun's bloom, my heart remembers him like a grey ghost of the past, worn and unholy, my love for him is still a whisper in the grass, my love for him, and only him, is water and fire, fire of ghosts that melt with love, water of love that drowns in pools of steel for what is forgotten reaching down to catch an invisible hand i am an acrobat remembering heaven and love, a leaf on the winding wind, incredibly brittle, for these nettles i walked in still sting as i sigh for his name....
