Poems on bliss and the overflow of sunshine in a lover's palms.
No more poems of angst and tragedy
where I am in competition over who had a harder life.
I am in love with the grass my soulmate stands on
I breathe his air like chocolate in my lungs
You can be jealous and judge me for wanting to hold his children inside my soul
but- you can never take away what we have grown to be-
he completes me.
I love my soulmate with the fire of a thousand winters
and the waters of every wave in the sea.
He is my last love-
my true only
Young couples will ache for us side-by-side in the park at eighty
and they will write manuscripts of our love when we're gone.
I will never love another with the fierce absolute volcano I am for him
and somewhere I think you're afraid you'll never know how that feels.
How can you be a poet and find yourself so cynical?
How can you grow up from the romance of true love?!
I am a fairy tale girl.
I am a one mate for a thousand lifetimes lover and I believe deep down you are too!
Do not forsake the love that waits to find you!
Do not give up so easily there is always enough time!
My lover is the substance on which I survive
My lover is the half of my heart I never knew I was missing until he filled it
He is every flower in my spring, every rain drop on my roof
and ever tear I shed at sappy moments now because my heart is so wide open.
He is the lines around my eyes
and the hand upon my back holding me close to his beautifully beating heart.
I would not trade the expanse of the world for one second I get to spend in his smile.
I would not exchange one night by his side for a million years of adventure alone unless;
it was to give me another day with him.
So, judge me.
Tell me I've sold my spirit and given my dreams away but
don't we all trade dreams for new ones we discover?
Allow yourself to keep dreaming too!
I know there's a soulmate out there for you!
Don't scoff when I say you'll be married.
Don't close your heart to the idea of true love- it's biological!
You can't escape the thing that coils our existence together
from the very beginning of time-
Do not give up on love!
