The good times are a thing of the past
Life goes on
I said with a tear on my eye

I look back and I wish to go
I wish to go back to when you would kiss me

Now that I look back I realize
How fast time flies by
And we dont learn until its too late
To enjoy every second of our lifes

The feeling of your words
Is something that I'll never forget
I wish I could go
To when we first met

I wish I could be back
In the last week we were together
So that I can tell you again
In a meaningfull way
That I love you more than myself

I wish I could be back on that bus
Those rides used to be the highs of my day
You held my hand tight
I tought it would be forever

And now
Here I am
How selfish of me,
to crave a happy ever after,
when I have already tasted forever
in a fleeting moment with you.

It was enough
to carve your name into my bones,
to make the world without you
feel smaller, emptier, colourless.

And yet…
if once was all I was given,
if forever was just a heartbeat,
then I would choose it again.
And again.
And again.

Because even as a wound…
our love was still the sweetest eternity.

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.
Often, people part ways because something is amiss—whether it be a lack of respect, compassion, intimacy, or compatibility.
Yet not all interrupted stories stem from absence; some souls run away from genuine love.
They discover a divine connection that transcends the ordinary, and marvel at how deeply they can see into each other's souls.
Blinded by the light they share and overwhelmed by their passion, shaken by the profound depth of their bond and intimacy,
They come to realize that, just as orchids don't thrive in the desert, a love so magical is not meant for this earth. But before parting ways, they accept this divine gift with gratitude.
With tender care, they honor each precious memory of their union and tuck them away deep in their hearts. Ensuring their story can live on as a lasting source of light and joy, reminding them they once found "The One."

to be with you
would have been
infinite

a path only we
understood,
the past lives
cheering us on
knowing in every
lifetime it would’ve
been
you and me
that one person who you thought was yours indefinitely.
Mercury Aug 20
I try, and I try, and I try
All the pictures and people
My head is full of questions
Just why, just why, just why?

The way they talk and smile
Their hands burn on my skin
Longing to be loved and to love
For the effort to be worthwhile

But my heart just doesn’t feel
In its place is left a concave
My chest fully hollowed out
Brain learning to take the wheel

But still, you are in my mind
And my dreams are exactly why
I can’t fall in love in real life
Because loving you has made me blind
Mercury Aug 20
I’ll ask the winds to blow, to carefully kiss you for me.
It’s the gentle whisper of the breeze you meet by the sea.

It will caress your skin, softly brushing over your cheeks.
Carry you forward when you don’t trust in your leaps.
It will calm you down when life becomes too much to bear.
Help you breathe when it seems like there is no more air.
It will hold you in its whirls, that’s how you’ll know I’m there.
Because while I’ll search for you, I’ll leave you in its care.

So, when the winds whisk you away, please don’t be scared.
It’s just a reminder - my love is yours - and will never be shared.
Mercury Aug 20
They say we all carry only one half of a soul.
Lost on this earth till we become whole.
I wonder who carries the other half of mine.
And how long I must wander till our paths entwine.

Do you believe that all of this is true?
Do you spend your days looking for me too?
I wonder if you’ve heard all this before.
Or maybe you don’t care what fate has in store.

But wherever I go, I promise to search for you.
Hoping that one day you’ll walk into my view.
I might not know your name or how you're going to look,
But I promise to love you with my heart’s every nook.

Until that day comes, I will love you in writing.
Because when it comes to my heart, there is no hiding.

Poetry is a winner.
It unbounds yourself.
It frees the tears you suppressed.
It connects with yourself and soulmates.

When you lost your voice,
Poetry brings it back.
When you don't know who you are,
Poetry will tell you!

Poetry has the power
To beat the hell out of you.
To dig with endurance
Until you bleed truth.

But what it leaves behind
is cleaner than before.
It rips the rot from your soul
and calls it transformation.

A seasoned poet realizes
Through embellished disguises
Marked by complexity
Driven by calculated uniformity
Filled with minute details
evaluate while riding the rails
The goal is to work hard to achieve
A story poem believably perceived

To exaggerate a structured process made
Is when vivid imagery fades
Interesting concepts inevitably played
Muddy clarification  pictures portrayed
Without stress comes blessed
Fantastic lines flourishes
As words nourishes our souls

We build organic sentence structure
from simple ingredients.
Adjectives provide ample sustenance.
As the art of the story is told
embellishments never grow old

Usually, a poet will know
When they’re on a roll
A smile concluded at the end
For a poet, it’s easy to pretend

When did embellishments become bigger than life?
Every subject kernels of nuggets of human strife
With twists and turns as the poet’s story jack knifes
Yet Never seems too deep as they grow old
A well planned story for told

A poet strives for elusive perfection ,
Avoiding at all cost negative rejection
Finding their self in their written word
Their true voice even IF the topic is absurd

Vivid imagery shows leaps and bounds
When a story read out loud has perfect sound
With a basic premise solid as the ground
Fluidity in motion can be found

Their poetry gift establishes imagination
Only limited by their lexicon, word creation 
power required to overcome friction
and the inertia of the moving parts proper diction 

Spy a girl cross the sea
Come sailing with me
Simply beautiful let it be
The love, we will create
Finding our soulmate

My sail boat
roams restless
upon the ocean
Smooth sailing
Poetry in motion
