POETRY / General 2. POETRY / Love 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 To all who have believed, encouraged, and inspired me to write this.Thank you. You are holding my heart in your hands. My emotions have bled out on each and every page with the ink of my pen. Your eyes will discover my soul. Your fingers are casually flipping through my mind. I hope you find each delicate word as captivating as the stars.

And I hope a piece of you feels what I felt when creating this art. Im so obsessed with falling in love that every time I meet a man, I lose myself in him. 3:59 PM I like my rough edges. Smooth women are too easy to climb. I dont like easy. 4:04 PM My dream man does not consist of a perfectly structured face and well sculpted muscles. 4:04 PM My dream man does not consist of a perfectly structured face and well sculpted muscles.

He, whoever he may be, does not have any physical requirements. When I dream, I think of men who have the patience to wait hours for the wind while floating in the middle of the eternal sea. I think of caring and gentle eyes gazing into mine and giving me a sense of purpose. A heavy soul so deep and so complex it could take years to understand, but he never denies me a passageway into its thickness. An open heart that spills easily into mine, bleeding colors and painting memories. I think of love.

The ability he has to hold such a precious thing. The manner in which he carries such a fragile emotion. The way he is able to unconditionally love me for me. 4:08 PM Life is to be lived To experience adventure. To travel the world. To learn exciting things.

And it is too short to not. 4:11 PM Do not let the dust collect in your soul. Live a life so fulfilling that it will never have enough time to do so. 4:15 PM My heart craves to feel a love that I have not encountered before. The kind that skips beats and summons butterflies. 4:17 PM A BOY HAS NEVER LOVED ME although I wish one had.

So I keep waiting with all my emotions and all this love building inside me. My heart waiting to thrive. AND WHEN A BOY FINALLY DOES Oh my, will my love be so deep for him. It might engrave beneath his bones. 4:18 PM It had been forever since I had been in your arms. 4:31 PM You are possibly the most beautiful and intricate human being I have ever met. 4:42 PM He is the type of person that has the entire night sky in his eyes. 4:42 PM He is the type of person that has the entire night sky in his eyes.

There are hurricanes and tornadoes underneath his skin. I swear every word, every breath, generates a windstorm. He holds the entire world in his heart. I wish I could hold him in my arms. 4:45 PM To spend a night with you would be marvelous. Not for any physical pleasures.

Do not get me wrong. Rather to hear your aspirations and goals. What makes you cringe? What makes you smile? I want to know what your childhood was like. What were your troubles? What are your biggest fears? What do you dream about while you sleep? I want you to talk until the pattern of your voice vibrates my teeth and bones. I want to know every piece, every detail about you. I want your heart.

I want the rhythm of my heart to align with the drumming of yours. I want you and I to not be you and I. I want you and I to be us. 4:53 PM They smelt strong. They smelt of rain and nature. Of pain and faith.

Healing and sanction. They smelt like home. His arms were my home. 5:00 PM DUSK Through all the darkness surrounding me, you somehow found a way to shed light. 5:06 PM You call it love, Id say infatuation. 5:23 PM Today I inked my skin with your name. 5:23 PM Today I inked my skin with your name.

Not because I like the look and not because I love you. I got a tattoo because I like knowing it will never leave me even if you do. 5:49 PM My lips are infused with the taste of you. I just cant get enough. 6:01 PM The way you spoke my name was enough to drive me insane. The formation on your lips like a lettered kiss.

The euphonic melody was my drug, my remedy. The song I play on repeat. The one calming my tempestuous sea. The only sound that sets me free. 6:19 PM I need the contact, skin to skin, heart to heart, me to you. I need the affection and attention you give me.

No one looks at me the way you do. No one ever will. 7:00 PM Maybe we are meant to be together. Maybe you are meant to tell me you love me. Maybe when our worlds collided we were not meant to build our lives as separate people, but combine and build together. 7:02 PM One day you too will have stopped searching strangers eyes for companionship.

You wont lie in a cold bed with nothing but dark thoughts to warm you. You will not order a pizza for yourself in your empty apartment. One day you will have found your person. The one human being on this earth designed for you. The one that eases the pain in your heart and reminds you of why you are here. Why none of the other relationships worked.

Why you had to go through heartache after heartache. And you will be thankful for all that pain because it now has brought so much happiness. You will look into your lovers eyes and feel something none of the others have made you feel. You will look into their eyes and realize they are the only ones you want to look into for the rest of your life. You will no longer feel alone. 7:34 PM You make me feel dangerous.
