A thousand stars

I can almost hear 
the sound of your laughter
sweet and infectious 
I close my eyes
and your smile finds me
the most beautiful curve
this world has ever seen
and your touch
oh your loving touch
feels like a thousand stars 
ignited beneath my skin
I can feel the chords of your melody
humming though my veins
and I fall in love with you
all over again

Fleeting dream

you drift 
through the contours 
of my mind 
haunting my senses 
with the memory 
of what could have been
your presence lingers
yet remains intangible
eluding my grasp
like a fleeting dream at dawn
it’s as though we exist 
in different dimensions

could it be 
that we are merely souls 
passing through each other’s lives
destined to brush closely 
but never intertwine

or is there more
to our beautiful love story

Fireflies

memories of you tiptoe 
through my mind 
each thought paints a vivid portrait 
of your laughter 
your smile
your touch 
they dance like fireflies 
illuminating the corners of my heart 
your essence lingers 
through the depths of my soul 

and in this moment
distance fades 
and time seems to stop
because all I want to do
is catch my breath
for just one second
and dream of you

Rewritten story

once there was a love 
so beautiful
it took your breath away
two souls wrapped 
in a timeless embrace
their love knew no boundaries
with each passing moment 
love became the ink 
that delicately rewrote the words 
on the parchment of their existence
it painted over the faded lines 
of their once broken past

and even though that chapter
of their life is closed 
their story they created 
will remain upon their souls
until the end of time

To love you deeply

you are the calm in my storm
the anchor that steadies me 
when I feel adrift 
when I am with you 
I am my truest self
unmasked and unafraid
you have become 
the very essence of my existence 
entwined with my heart and soul 
your happiness 
becomes my purpose
your pain 
becomes my burden 
and to love you completely
is beyond anything 
I could have imaged 
that transcends time and space

Passing Ships

in the quiet corners of my heart
I kept a flame burning 
a tender light 
that belonged solely to you 
it danced and flickered 
casting shadows of hope 
across the walls of my soul
illuminating a path 
for only you and I

but in your words 
I felt a distance 
a reflection of a love 
not quite the same 
it was as if our hearts 
were ships passing in the night 
destined for different shores

and I guess the hardest part
of this is learning to accept
that not all loves are the same
