Summer never stood a chance
against us, when even
in the still air our hearts flutter—
There will always be thunder
and rain, you said.
But in being in love with you
—It’s a slow dance, you and I
in crystal air, rain or clear,
under blankets of stars—
In your eyes there are
sparks only love can light,
softness only love can touch.
A lifetime worth of words—and more,
but they can wait, I want to
blend your touch into my ink first.
You asked why I fall.
But I didn’t—
I saw you, and I jumped.
The crescent settled
behind you, wrapped in silk night,
wearing jasmin orange behind her ears.
I wondered: if she overheard
our brewing midnight; could she tell?
From the gleaming stars in my eyes
that I’m nothing if not a sailor
lost in azure, in awe
of treasures shimmering silver.
In the heat of silence, could she hear?
The pounding, quickened steps of
spring, sprinting across time—
Frogs break free from their winter hide,
I hear blushed wings hum
impromptu tunes of perfection, and kisses
that felt like summer grass’s touch.
Sealed, in the envelope
addressed to spring when she catches up.
A new blossoming
petals of the soul unfurl
reaching for their match
CHERRY WAVES
HEARTS I CRAVE
lust is a battle
don't see me waver
lust is a savor
savoryyyy
honey, ur so sweet
my delectable treattt
coming home with me?
no?
okkk
I never thought it could be this way
But now my honey's left me astray
She never thought to stay
My darling girl has ran away
Her name was Vanessa
Golden hair to her toes
Vanessa, my queen
I never gave you a rose
A love so unfair
It couldn't be shared
My darling girl is done
Up in smoke, vanished in air
I love my dear
This is true
It's just as sincere
That I love you
Through turmoil and valleys
We climb together
Through treacherous journeys
We faced the weather
No matter the time
We're always better together
I love you, sweet girl
Did you get this letter?
Look out for the flickering lights;
I heard some glass shattering
shards geting swallowed in the hurricane's tyranny
and tyranny pleading at patriarchy's feet.
Look out for the desparation;
penetrating out of familiar, rough gilded eyes
flowers wrapped in hands withering over time
and love swirling among the rusted frames
of oldest bus stand of town.
"The saddest thing about love is that not only the love cannot last forever, but even the heartbreak is soon forgotten." – William Faulkner
You cannot be my love, for you have gone
To far-off lands, there just on the other side
Of the horizon, bleak and dark. Now our love,
Like the sinking sun, turning gold to red,
Only to disperse into a cataclysmic dark.
There's a deep loneliness that spreads like venom
Into my very soul; but there is courage, too.
For will not the dying sun dawn up again next morn?
I harbour hope for a new love; the tide will turn again
A new life begins. The waning sun turns to fiery gold.
Placed 1
I have loved before but never like this
I have felt loved but not with this kind of bliss.
Someone else made feel butterflies back then in the past
But yours seem intended to last.
you make me feel somehow valued than I was before
You give me love and intend on giving me more.
You said the sun brightens your day everyday
But my smile brightens your life in an amazing way.
Besides making me believe in love, you made me feel it.
And I am getting used to it, bit by bit.
Our new love planet
This exists in our mind, jump into the depth of the universe of our lives of minds
MInds? There is only one, and ours are just the parts, gifts of our lives from God
The new and hoped-awaited planet will be the new Earth and the new homeland
Hope Land
Someone will love you from the Earth to there and on our new lovely great planet!
It’s so far, but here in our souls, we are protected by our future from the loved Light
So, please, just follow the light on the highway in the universe just to your new life
To the Light
Please after my death follow me, come to us, we are there, imagined projection
You and me, you and me, the new life wants to arrive us for take to the newest
In all memory will be killed from our past, you cannot remember my life, I am a dark
Dark to your life
We will live on an invisible planet, human eyes can not see that, superlight material
There are no principles and laws, everything will be realized from our fantasy of the brain
Two fantasy’s love, oh gigantic love, this marriage bigger than a thousand mega disco
Greatest of all time
Endless galactic love
In the quiet of a heartache’s wake,
You left me to mend the pieces,
A world once vivid now opaque,
With hope in fragments, slowly ceases.
A month has passed, the shadows fade,
When fate plays tricks, a chance arrives,
A gentle hand, a kind cascade,
New sparks alight where warmth survives.
His smile—a soft and steady light,
In darkest corners, sparks a glow,
He brings the dawn to endless night,
In tender moments, joy begins to grow.
With every laugh and gentle touch,
The pain of loss recedes away,
I find that healing means so much,
In the new embrace of each new day.
So here’s to serendipity’s sweet song,
To broken hearts that learn to mend,
To finding love where you belong,
And joy that comes around the bend.
New love is like wanting to go home
And longing all day
Longing, for that last piece of cake
You left in the fridge to stay
Waiting for you and
Giving joy with every bite
And it tastes even better
Because you’ve thought about it all night
And just like new love, there’s also uncertainty
Will it still be there?
You say to yourself, “Please let it be,”
“Don’t be eaten or expired, don’t you dare.”
You must let go, keep a little faith
But hold space for the possibility
That there’s no cake, nor another date
Two shadowed lovers share a warm embrace,
On the sandy shores of a romance new,
Along love’s edges, soft fingertips trace,
In the rhythm of love, their hearts beat true.
Beneath golden skies an amber sea sways,
Scintillating sensations on the skin,
Love moves through her soul in passionate waves,
He knocks at her door and she lets him in.
In shadowed embrace, their love takes flight,
Two hearts set sail upon the tranquil sea,
One vessel dancing beneath the twilight.
In the throes of passion, two souls set free.
On the golden shores of a setting sun,
A sultry summer romance, just begun.
So lost and broken
Constantly battered and beat
Not a word spoken
With a simple joke
A day of jest and of play
A new love to stoke
Your love bends my heart in ways it doesn't bend
New love
By lady Arabella
I found a new love when I wasn’t even searching
During summer days , and the season of birds singing in the trees whilst perching
I found a new meaning to words I’d long forgotten
As the core of my heart had turned ripe and the pieces left rotten
I found a new love , at the same time I was finding my way
As my soul and body yearned for new opportunities and a better day
I found a new love that’s one I cannot quite compare
One that elevates me to want to become more self aware
I’ve found a new love that is stronger than I’ve ever felt
described by Holger Herwig as “almost delicate” and by Tuchman as “svelte
I’ve found a new love that brings me so much joy
One I’ll be dammed I’ll let anyone destroy
I’ve found a new love and it’s simple you see
As the new love I found has been found within me
She whispers in winds
as limbs dance.
I’m back she says-
I’ve come back
from the frozen ground.
In her left hand
a bag of seeds
and I steal a glance
out the window
as she stands on the porch.
She says she’s my dreams-
she says she’s a god
bringing to life
a lawn turned brown
and to a bare patch of ground.
She is
the kiss of sunlight
the soft voice
of a barmaid enthralled
who watched me sing.
I tell her
she’s all I need.
Spring, she is
timeless and free
as she holds a lily
meant for me.
