his eyes remind me of the stars

i love to gaze at in the sky

each night

eyes overflowing with all the poetry i could paint,

forever holding him in my arms

eyes that make everything else in the world

worthless

so entrancing, i am mesmerized constellations drawn in his irises

i live my life mesmerized by him, having memorized everything about him,

so much so that i hear the whispers of

his smooth v...

You hold my hand

“Just in case you get scared”

In the middle of horror movie

But you’re the one terrified

You giggle at my jokes

“Because you’re funny”

But really, she does it for me

And I just can’t lie when I say

I think I found love

In the most wonderful place

It’s the girl that is there for me

Even when I don’t need it

I think I found love

In the girl who just wants me

For who I am

And I ...

In tangled webs of yearning hearts we find,

The tender ache of moments, bittersweet.

Two souls adrift in seas of shared desires,

Where raging passion burns without restraint.

Yet love, a shadowed path of joy and pain,

Where each glance can destroy or melt the heart.

Each touch can hold more power than the sun,

And one harsh word can rip clouds from the sky.

Through nights of whispered dreams and...

Some individuals possess a need,

To dissect love, to overanalyze,

To impose complexity upon simplicity,

Obscuring love's true essence.

Others may spend their entire span,

Attempting to unravel what isn't cryptic,

Solving a puzzle that was never a puzzle,

Searching for answers they already have.

Love, in its essence, is straightforward,

Its true meaning is not to be labored,

The willingness to f...

It’s the brush from the

Back of your hand;

No intention meant, yet

My heart flutters anyways,

Cheeks flushed from

The sudden rush of

Blood pumping past

My eardrums.

A slight smile turns

The corners of your lips,

And sheepishly so.

Hearing the shy apology

Slip from your mouth

Brings out my own stammering

Assurance, assuaging

Any of your concerns,

Making my own feelings

Obvious to any idle watcher....

Any mom can say the words “I love you”

It doesn’t take some language arts degree

To say whatever to your newborn babe

For they’re too young to discern your intent

But to learn the meaning of the word “love”

They watch the things you do, not what you say

They define love by the way you show it

So it’s your job to teach them what it is

You can show them that love is ignoring

Love is doors slammi...

How could any man with their sanity

Possibly find any love for such a disgrace.

Plague

Fungus

Blemish

Mistake

Disappointment

Accident;

Truly a waste of space.

How do you find the light in a void?

How do you see the stars in a cloudy sky?

How does a pig learn to fly?...

I have such love for you

It’s almost overwhelming at points

I care so much for you

The feeling is all consuming

I feel such safety with you

The relief is staggering

Every piece of me

Longs for every bit of you

Sometimes I feel so deeply for you

I think my heart is going to burst

All of these feelings

I don’t know what to do with

Because I know

You don’t feel anywhere near the same...

The only part about love that’s hard

Is the heartbreak

The pain of losing someone you always

Knew was yours

You broke my heart

I never even thought that by loving you

It gave you the power to hurt me

And that heartbreak

It is wasn’t like a shot at the doctors

Or a fall off a bike

It is was something deep

Something that hurt worse than it should have

I loved you, or at least I thought I did

But...

You say you love me,

But I want to know how much.

What words are worth to you.

I say I trust you,

But I don’t trust a fire.

Especially one with no smoke.

You say I’m strong,

But I’ve never been strong,

So clearly you don’t know me.

And you say I’m worthy,

But you’re not the only person,

The only one I want to hear it from.

So yeah,

I’ll tell you what your words are worth to me,

And they were n...
