What is love?

Wanting what’s best

Growing with them

Choosing to stay

Even when the butterflies fade

It’s not all sunshine like in the shows

There are darker moments to

Working together despite it all

Not always holding hands

Or hugging tight

Just being there all of life

The kind of love that I can’t have

But still I hope

Because you are there

Not as a partner

But as a friend

I can’t have all b...

There are so many kinds of love

Siblings, parents, friends, romantic

There all so confusing

I don’t know how I feel

It feels weird to label it

Because I don’t know what it is

So I’ll stick to friends

Nothing more till I do some thinking

Until I’m absolutely sure...

Would you and I ever feel at home together?

Would the air be warm or cool?

Do we sip whiskey by a fire or

drink tequila by a pool?

Do we dip our toes in a mountain stream or

play in the surf of endless waves?

Are we lost in a sea of people or

does our noise carry for miles away?

Do we dance in the kitchen?

Do we plant trees and watch them grow?

Do seasons go by and memories fill our walls?

Do ...

**_This only exists because you

are reading it

Just like life only exists

Because we love

_The sky is real _

_Because we dream_

_And are moved to look above_**_

We grow to read and understand

We grow, just to become

More capable of the

Ability

Of giving to what isn’t us

_**I don’t care about the meaning**_

_**_If I don’t acknowledge what it meant_**_

To be a part of something

...

The world around me spins

but my feet stay grounded

sand hugging my feet and ankles

wind kissing my face

The waves crash to myfront

and the cool water reaches my knees

The seagulls chirp my name

beckoning for me

The ocean resonates

in my mind heart and soul

my heart is the ocean

and the ocean is my heart

…

🫀...

you…

you you you you

you you you you you you

you you you you you you you you

you you you you you you you you you

you you you you you you you you

you you you you you you you

you you you you you you

you you you you you

you you you you

you you you

you you

...

I’ll look at pictures of you and your bright blue eyes until they burn into mine through the late hours of the night

I’ll listen to your favorite songs until I hear your voice in the ringing of my ears

And swim in a river of tears from the memories that are etched into my mind

For the slight chance

That it will tattoo into my brain deep enough for me to dream

Of you

And only you...

Am I rushing too soon?

Or is it the perfect time?

Oh, how I long for a partner,

One who will support me,

No matter what,

Through the happy times,

And the dark.

They say,

“You’re too young for that”

Ironic, coming from those whose relationships have fallen.

I believe love happens when one’s ready,

No matter the age.

I will continue longing for a partner,

Until I have met him.

We shall deal ...

I've written enough poems about my inability to express/recieve love.

It's not that I don't want it, moreso I don't know how to find it.

I _want_ to look at someone and feel butterflies in my stomach.

I want someone's arms around me, body molding against mine like puzzle pieces.

I want the type of love that doesn't need words; the type of love that you can just sense when you look into their e...

**_Act 1_**

My heart pounds

Beating with every breath you take

With every blink of your eyes

You’re here now

Alive from my womb

Grasping at me with your small hands

Your frail body

It’s in my hands, safe and trusting

As you look at me with your big eyes

He’s gone, though

But you’re here, here with me

And I’ll take care of you with my Ma

Oh! Don’t cry

Mommy’s here with your food

Good girl, ea...
