A Soldier’s Love Letter *** My love, Out here, the rain still finds me— quiet, steady, like the space your voice has left. There’s no one to catch my tears when your letters don’t come. I wait between long days, in borrowed rooms and passing time, reading your old words like they might still mean the same. They say it happens— distance grows where love once lived, and sometimes a letter arrives that ends everything. A “Dear John” … just like that. Still, I hold on. Every drop carries your name, every silence feels like goodbye, and I wonder if you still think of us the way I do out here. Because despite the miles, despite the quiet between us, my heart hasn’t learned how to let you go. If you’re still there— write to me before the rain falls again. I’ll be here, somewhere between duty and home, waiting… with love.

Catch My Tears
I admit i'm insanely inlove I invest so much effort Just to be with you But your love so dimmed Like a busted bulb I exaggerate things i've never been done And i'm end up hallucinating I becoming hysterical For falling deeply inlove Sometimes i've lost my senses I forgot to love my self More than i love you This love brought me to agony And i'm starting digging my grave

"Still hoping"
Soon as cupid closed his eyes and released his bow, I immediately knew your face from my dreams. The girl whose face I could never see, You were always so quick to leave, I'd pretend to hate you if it were true. Just before I open my eyes the stars disappear only to reappear when I close them. I slouch deeper in the couch awaiting your presence. A chance to reciprocate just how I feel. Forgiving you for not showing up a second sooner. A hummus of white pastures Devoted to the hunger of the sun, Devouring everything in sight. An maybe that invites the utopia of your thought, Stung by an fleeting arrow, strung by the oasis of an longing heart. Wondering aimlessly; an clear day Without a single cloud to be found. These are the times I think of you. The horizon of my world. The clouds move, curious in nature. Beneath the pain of ribs struck by a fleeting arrow You are there, the throbbing sensation that pulsates through my veins. I miss you without having to look down, I am neither naive nor stupid. With quiet vocals I deeply long for you on cloudy days I deeply long for you now. My enigmatic arrow Migrate back to my side

Middays Midnight
I can almost see your face    behind my eyelids when I shut my eyes, hear your laughter    in the deafening silence, feel your touch, feel you breathing    in the dead of the darkest night, smell the scent of your cologne    over my cup of warm coffee, taste your lips,your skin    in my most vivid dreams. My need is indescribable ,    my yearning--an unquenchable thirst. But a shadow is all I can get    as we haven't found each other yet.
