Heart to heart
Soul to soul
Her poetic hugs have filled all voids
Her poetic smile has changed winter to spring
Her poetic love has cured my grown-up blues
She is poetry in motion
My well-deserved, duly-earned treat
A snack beyond snacks
It's like the creator looked down
And decided I've been good (enough)
To earn such a reward
A poem in human form
Penned just for me
To fill my life with a rapturous rhythm of realness
Sweet, soul-satisfying stanzas
Voluptuous, vivacious verses
To make sense of these magnificent moments of mysticism
Without poetry,
There would be no way to explain how she moves me
How anxious I get for her arrival
How eager I am for her touch
How I can just sit
And watch her be beautiful
if i could capture the stars, id pluck one right out of the sky and place it in your heart so you’d be reminded that you are filled with brightness. id capture your tears in jars and pour them into the sea so you’ll know that your feelings expressed in these droplets weren’t in vain, but that they will be recycled for only beauty and life, to be the reason behind art and reproduction. your smile will be used in dark, barren tunnels to light the way to a better truth. id tell you that your eyes tell a story and when listened to, they have the power to inspire by sharing the very things you’ve felt you could never say. id give you a magnifying glass so that you may discover the map your ancestors left for you to explore , painted on your skin. continue to shake the world by letting your voice be heard, because when you speak, the earth quakes.
