She was a private girl.
She was shut behind the windows of her eyes,
Quietly observing all that fluttered by her.
She felt the sunshine more richly,
Tasted more sweetly,
Kissed more sincerely.
She was a private girl.
Many believed they knew her ins and outs
But they only saw the light that splashed across her surface.
Knowing nothing of her inner depth.
They thought “what a sunshiny girl!”
And that’s all she wanted them to think,
For the rest of her belonged to her and her alone.
An impenetrable ocean of hidden secrets

The saying goes
“I love you to the moon and back”
But, men have walked on the moon
And can walk on it again.
Therefore, I would never set such an easily accomplished boundary as the moon.
I love you infinitely.

Consistency
That’s the only difference between
The mediocre
And the master

She looked to the earth
And then to sky
The ground was too dull
She longed to fly
She pulled on her coat
And her soul spread it wings
The air in her heart
Grasping for higher things
Her hand reaching for heaven
And though she met her untimely fate
Her courage lives on in the hearts
Of all those who attempt to do something great

She was asleep
And it was to your benefit,
But she has awoken again.
The smoke is rising from her belly.
From her dark depths the fire is rumbling.
The power inside her is ready to be realized.
She, a docile and cold mountain,
Is ready to erupt.

The harder the fall
The grander the rise

Perhaps this is the least poetic thing I’ve ever uttered.
Sometimes love isn’t enough to make it through.
