your love does not fit
into neat stanzas
it refuses the cage
of a rigid rhyme scheme
it is the sudden
breathtaking metaphor
stumbled upon in the dark
the kind that makes the chest ache
with a quiet undeniable truth

you are the cadence
of a late-night thought
the deliberate pause
between heartbeats
where everything unsaid
finds its perfect resonant weight
I do not need
to count the syllables
of your laughter
or measure the meter
of your breath against mine
like the best lines ever written
you simply exist
raw
untamed
and beautifully alive

we are a living draft
written in the margins
of ordinary days
turning the mundane
into something sacred
no rules
no boundaries
just the effortless poetry
