And I write to you
On this day
Words I could never say
I thought my eyes
would tell it all
as our soul married on occasions
I hope your forgive my latency
My heart is captured
from your love
I’m caught between the moment
You kissed me on my nose
Prior,
your lips touched my forehead
then upon my lips
I froze

As this moment, remarkably fresh
I pray it never stales
when you wrap your arms around me
I know love will never fail
Never have I read
such a fairytale
Reminiscent of the morning breeze
brought upon by autumn
The smell of rain from a late-night storm
Next you, I've grown fond of

As I write to you today
As I miss your hands in mine
I think that it is wise
To tell you I’m inclined
To wake up alongside
the heart I long the most
All the forevers
coming forth
I will always boast
That I’ve found the one
my heart sings for
such a beautiful key
With these words I ink today
I hope that you will see
and even if for some reason
These words may come off new
Darling, sweetheart, baby
Sugar
I love you

Promises  ©️ 2/15/2026 6:57pm

And he came for her
as he promised he would
Unexpected and new
His love is quite wonderful
A home she always dreamed of
to keep her heart safe
When she is with him
The air breathes intimately
as it comforts
in such a place, danger is unknown
A shield surrounds them both
As the entirety of their beings
combine as one
and when he is away
half of her is absent
Though his love provides a presence which keeps intruders at bay
Even when he is gone
beside her he lays
Even when his voice is silent
His heart will always say
I
love
you

Fireside ©️ 11/23/2024 11:24pm

Even on the coldest nights
Your love keeps me warm
Even before the creation of stars
Our love began to form
With you I chose to be forever
Loving you, will always be
my pleasure
You will never feel alone
My voice, it's tone
you will always hear
My love, sweetheart
Is always near
I hope it's finally clear
My dear,
I will never bring you harm
Even on the coldest nights
My love will keep you warm

Views ©️ 10/06/2024 10:24pm

And with this view
I can say I do
Love all the things that I see
words erupting, make me scared to speak
Premature to some
amongst our hearts naturally
I’ve longed through summers
winters scoured
Never has my heart been in time
Out of the blue
Appeared this view
It’s beauty is uncanny
It cools my soul
Scared - I could never fathom
Through my eyes
a paradise
A love
Story
My heart will ravish
Brought forth from clouds
Clear in my mind
This love I feel is new
Do I want this love?
Do I adore such love?
Yes, if the love is you
All I see is you and me
An everlasting view

Water ©️ 2024

Tell me you love me
As we already started pouring into each other
Tell me you love me
so I can water you
In every season
so you can dive into
understanding and love
Submerge into peace and vulnerability
Willingly
I want to love you
as you water me too
If you ask me if I love you
I will say I do
It’s true
My soul has never been refreshed
My heart misted with your love
even when you are not near
your presence unneeded physically
Because your heart is clear
Tell me you love me
and I’ll never go away
I’ll tell you I love you
forever my heart will stay
Your love will never be a martyr
and my love will never be strained
Take my hand love
and splash amongst the waters
let’s wash away the pain
Let love flow along the currents
our souls released within
finally married as twins
Liquid flames of blue
Coolness runs through our bodies
No separation of the two
Tell me you love me
because with every drip of your love
My heart is falling in

Candlelight ©️ 06/09/2026
And I lay under candlelight
The flickering of the flames
Missing you and I
Do you feel the same?
Fluid thoughts progress
With separation of time
My heart remains yours
Is your heart still mine?
You know where to find me
You still hold the key
My heart rests in palms
which warms me lightly
I move each day
Through the multiplied space
Each hour I feel
your heartbeats slowed pace
I lay down the flowers
Upon the mound of our love
Questions unanswered
Yet the stillness is enough
Growing weak of reaching
for love in thin air
So I lay under candlelight
With a bedside left bare

Superhuman:SuperMan ©️July 7, 2024
And he said to me:
“I can’t be your Superman
there would be nothing left for myself
If I give you everything,
All of my internal wealth,
Then I am left hollow with roots that become fragile
I prefer to move slow rather than commanded to be agile
I love you I do, you’ll never know the depths
But I can not drown, and truthfully
I'm afraid to be swept
away in your world where your priorities are key
I’d rather be there for you and still be free
Free to exist and explore whom I am
This doesn’t deplete that I am your man
You hold my heart in your garden of hands
But I must, it’s imperative, to continue to stand
for myself, though I fall, I will repeatedly land
on a foundation that I built
though it cracks
Time to time
Myself, I owe, a pledge to find
And for you, I ask nothing less, nothing more
Don’t be my superwoman, recharge your core
As often as needed, without shame to display
a depletion of power, decreased any hour
By removing our capes, to walk through the door
Comforting ingenuity, together we can soar


Superhuman:SuperWoman
©️July 7, 2024

And she said to him:
I am not able to be your superwoman
It’s hard enough sometimes
to be there for myself
I gave and I gave all that I have
I gave many times, until nothing was left
But I will give what I can
and love you it’s true
It may be soft or harder than you
that’s perfectly fine
Because I know at different times
we need love that pours
even when we close the doors
temporarily
Seeking solitude to seclude
Instead a simple interlude
a time to invest in oneself
Not a test, for your love to prevail
but a chance to just rest
I’ll be by your side
though I may miss some calls
I’m only human, and sometimes I fall
sometimes I lay there before I get up
sometimes I’m troubled, and my mind gets stuck
Rescue me not, enabling is a killer
Sacrifice not, for you are not my healer
Instead, hold my hand as tender or strong
Hero, you’re not, but my heart still belongs
the lessons in idolation, damsel in distress
Will leave you and me depleted
without anything left

I, pledge to myself, forever I will find
growth and security internally aligned
Together we can follow our journeys
respecting individualistic space and freedoms
Together we can build a safe questioning kingdom

Don’t be my Superman, please
Please recharge your core
As often as needed, without shame to display
a depletion of power, decreased any hour
By removing our capes, to walk through the door
Comforting ingenuity, together we will soar

Cultivation ©️September 15, 2025
And you cultivate my heart
As if a rose
in your own personal Garden
So tender, so soft
You treat me like treasure
Showering me with your love
even when most of your love
is spent
Adored and cherished
You are to me
And I, to you
Take care of yourself for me
Take care of yourself for you
You are the ocean
And I the sea
No one can measure the love
Runs deep, runs forever
I will never leave your side
Staying strong amongst the tides
Take care of yourself
My love is with you
Take care of yourself
When thoughts are blue
Confide with your thoughts
If you wish, in solitude
Arise as new or in neutral hues
Brighter blues carried with you
I’ll be waiting
With my love for you

I am Human Too ©️ July 15,2026

All my love
And your love
folded together
Our heartbeats
write the greatest love letter
The love we share
Pure love, surreal love
Sky’s the limit for real love

I’d move the mountains for you
Yet somehow I tend to forget
I’m human too

To be adored
to be missed
to be your everything
I can’t win without giving all my love
Yet I lose from falling too deep
Skinned heart
That’s enough
To remember, to remind
As much I love you
My heart’s changed different hues
My soul sings the blues
Recycling peace and emotional violence
Among the silence
the birds chirping
Thoughts networking
the good and the bad
I know this is nothing new
But I can’t conquer this moment
like all the others
I wave the white flag
Viciously
Until my arms turn blue
Picking myself off the ground
I scream
“I am human too!”

Wading through tears
which dropped over the years
from the sporadic absence of you
Sludging through yearning
Pushing through, hurting
Our souls still glued
My love still holds firm leaving residue
upon your hands
No distance or foreign land
Will deliver me truly from you
But within the solitary hours
My heart scours
for shadows of you
Disappointment and empty hearted
Soft whispers echoing into black
But I am human too
