To feel yourself falling in love
With somebody over the course of months
Is to realise that you're more kind,
Happier, caring, gentle, and sweet-
A better person in general-
Keeping that person in mind.

No matter what you do,
Nobody else will understand
The way you feel every day,
The bubbliness of your actions,
The air of generosity and dreaminess
In every word you say.

To fall in love with someone
Is to notice you're not alone
And that you're loved and cared for.
It is to notice you matter as well
And to better yourself and others
Through kindness you pour.

To fall deeply in love with someone
Is to fall in love with yourself,
To fall in love with life as a whole,
To fall in love with everything.
Before you even know it,
Love has taken its grand toll.
For Aidan, the first person I've ever felt love like this toward

Thank you for helping me out of the immense depression when I'm not doing too well. You truly have no idea how greatly you've helped me.

"the encompassment of these words is stunning; existential angst in a fruit, or section thereof hurtling into space. makes sense though, if i lived in a runaway time capsule, i'd want fruit too, perfect or no. nice poem"

Say what?
Take a noun and make it noun-er.
Take philosophy and dress it down.
Take a fruit, an orange, section it, throw it into space, then agonize over its rightness of being.
Thee musn't feel that one's overuse of semi-archaic phrases and punctuation lessens the actuality of the expression being made. Indeed, it serves only to encapsulate the soundness of thine understandingness and thine expressions of agreement-oneness with the effervescent  bubbliness needed to attract one's readers to continue with their reading of one's liturgy of the meaningfulness of the outerworlds and innertimes. Throw in Gaia, underworlds, swords and flames. Trees with names. socks with shoes. Oftentimes these travel through the continuum side by side, yet unencumbered with knowingness of the other, unembraced by the unembraceable.
I got really fed up one day after reading lines written by earnest person who thought the longer a word was, the more meaning it had; and that punctuation and capitalization were ambiguous. The quote is from one of his writings.

A night united together
For the very first time
Around the amish time

Inside this French Bistro
Surrounded by the glamorous duo
Gainsbourg & Birkin
Wrapping up the ambiant air
French musical undertones
Deep green velvets hues
Ilona, the Host of the Soirée
Walking as if she is dancing
With her irrepressible bubbliness
Serving us drinks & oysters

... Zee oysters ...
Taking their last breaths
In the fading ice
Indulging the no-teeth treatment
Is it a tragedy?
I dunno...I guess we will never know

Two Hirondelles lost in time
The time flying by
We are now the last guests of the Soirée
The clock  ticking by
Its time to leave this place
And those two Rock Stars
We are leaving behind

I knew you were trouble from the very first time
But ahhhhh, so refreshing, so alike...
A night united together
For the very first time

My heart is a dark room closing in
Feeling weighed down by the emptiness within
My chest feeling so so tight
Feeling that something just isn't right

Running from what I know to be true
I really have no idea what to do
A loneliness so deep surrounds me
Using my shadows to completely hide me

My face often glistening with my tears
As I try to avoid facing my fears
Filled with anger, jealousy and pain
Trying to find my bubbliness again

This dark space closing in on me
I can escape, I can be free
I know there in my sight
Far away I see the light

It's getting closer and within reach
With every lesson life does teach
Someday soon I know I'll love me...
Then I'll finally see that I am already free
Enervated and energized after cold shower
the perfect tonic to gin body though o'clock

sleep, thus refueled with zest able to chop

and no crock, but refreshing douse of chill
kept mien ole body electric able to dial back
feeling akin to soap bar man tiredness life
came to buoy quite some hours with joy de
vivre vigor analogous to morning dove (or as

if submerged smooth as ivory into Irish Spring),
until... bubbliness peaked than plunged yours
