My Husband.
I think of you often, in times of great happiness or deep regret. I long to share these moments with you, wrapped in the security I know only you will give me. I wish I could say I knew you, but instead I’ll write this letter to you. Adressed as this; my love and my life.
To the movies I see, wondering if any are your favourite The life I’ve lived seems to be standing so tall, Or the books ive yet to read that you adore But I know, in about three years time, I’ll be sharing it all.
I know you see a vision splendid, of the skylines light extended and at night the wondrous glory of ever lasting stars. I know I see them too, and they connect us through the years that separate us and our due-to-be forming scars.
Most of all, I wonder if you ever think about me and the woman I shall be. Pass glistening windows stacked with clothes and wonder will I wear them? Pass by flowers and consider if I’ll love them, listen to bands and wonder if I’ll shove them. Maybe my robes aren’t what you’d expect, but I know you won’t condemn them.
But now I see my desk and I look to the future without the children we will have. I want to create, with and without you. So I’ll hold these dreams of grandeur, and free myself of your deep allure. Just to follow the path I create, through.
But in the nights that I can’t lay still, the dreams of our cabin give me will. I can feel your weight beside me and how your hug fits me like a glove. And I know our love infernal, it will forever remain eternal. I can’t wait to meet you, my life and my love.
Bird in hand
The old saying being A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. As I am a bird I would argue And seek to educate you.
The one bird in the hand is Headed for the pot. We birds are not really birdbrains. We know our fate.
I would argue that bird gives Short pleasure and is gone, A quick bite, and hardy fulfilling. But those two in the bush?
They give you songs In evening and at dawn. They lift your spirits And have you searching the skies. Their flight and feathers unmatched.
So I would teach you In my erudite birdy way, Two birds in a bush Will always trump one in hand Who was headed for the pot.
A Little Thought
Don’t you ever wonder The reason why we’re here? Don’t you ever ponder Why there’s so many things to fear? Snakes, spiders, the monster under the bed But some fear other things instead The reaching arms of the shadows cling to the weaknesses we own They pull it, drain it, take advantage of it And when it’s sucked out of you, you’re nothing but a clone Our feet pitter patter against the rough and rocky ground like the rain of feelings, emotions, pain chorusing through our heads We are one Like millions of little orbs of light, making up the summer sun I’m like you, you’re like me Truth isn’t bad, and bad isn’t the truth This is all I have to say Goodbye, and have a wonderful, confusing day
Title me not
For I shall not be named, my name is not know. We pass each other every day. I am a mystery to you and to you I stand know. You leave me speechless but speechless not you make me sing the words to your story. Seems like I am in love and your in disappointment. We can’t be on the same page and the same page where not because you reading a different book. For earth is my planet and your planet earths not. Two worlds that differ but differ they not I still love you
Only true love
Your my only love the one I feel like I can’t do without. The only one I feel connected to just want to be near you out the blue the one I would try to save,The one I would try to protect The one I fell deep in love without when you first met. The one I am happy to see the one I want to be with every night even after a fight you’re my now then and forever the one I can hold on to when I’m feeling blue the one I have fun with the one I cry to when I don’t have a clue the one that’s my everything that forever I will run to.
