Where morning dawns
O'hear the Songs of Joy!
We crown the year with beauty
As we hear the Voice of Angels
We ask and are given
We seek and we find
We have according to the Grace given us
Dear 2017,
I think I've lost the script.
I just had it
Revised and re-revised.
Everyone wanted a say.
So, what happened?
Now, a storm's blown in
Flipped the set over
A mother's milky skin never keeps you awake for long
My mother is cold, so I am always satisfied by a goosebumps embrace, a quiet good night
My mother has tightly curled hair, it smells like apricots and long nights
Because I Love You,
we are not perfect
and that’s just perfect
Dirty, mortal menaces we are
Constantly staining our white cloths,
You deserve someone who looks at you and sees his entire world
You deserve someone who looks at your flaws and rough edges and still loves you anyway
It is not a blizzard-y blizzard,It is a fiery fire.A love that lasts forever,Is a love that burns with desire.
That is what I heard--But I have yet to seeWhat love truly doesTo you and me
He bares his own arms to the cold
and wraps his coat around her shoulders
as they sit on the bleachers.
Why did you do it?
His eyes rake the crowd for notice.
He’s a good guy with his head on his shoulders
His eyes are open while his heart is ingrained inside
I’ve seen his heart during emotional highs
He gripped me strong and hard
Let his insecurities surface and fade
I am content,
I am fulfilled,
I don't expect,
I appreciate,
I see you. The soul that resides inside, not the facade.
I am vulnerable,
I am nothing but everything,
I am.
The Earthly Angel The dying blue planet, his home, without True Pink
Had not one to love him, not one to form a link.
A pinwheel.
A simple toy,
Requires strength to keep spinning.
Let’s be a pinwheel.
Let’s continue to move along.
Let’s go through it.
Come, forget about our past.
I love you because you are human.
You make mistakes,
You get frustrated
But you are also passionate and loving
You like mysteries and cartoons
I wait for you
Whether you're getting ready for an hour
Or you're not ready to say it back
Because I love you.
I buy you flowers
And I let you win at Monopoly
I show you it with more than just my words
There is love in an ordinary day
We learn from each other
We argue and disagree
But we find common ground
Watching TV
He flicks my earring
Repeatedly
I turn to him and demand him to stop
You want me to go far, aim for where I cannot see
To see me happy with who I am and the direction I am headed
You understand what I contribute to this world while I cannot
Love is what gives you protection and care
In a healthy relationship, you wouldn’t have to be scared
You feel a smile when both can connect
Not sadness, anger, or thoughts of neglect
I can protect you from the world.
Nothing is worthy of your presence;
you are an angel among men.
I can take all of your pain.
You are perfect.
A new branch has formed on my family tree...
Because I love you.
You show me compassion even when we are upset...
Because you love me.
Glance up
meet your eyes
a sea of blue I wish
to dive into
Open your mouth
speaking to me
your voice is a song
I wish to hear
Your laugh-
not graceful
There are some peopleWho do not believe in loveBecause the ones they lovedHave made them hate it.Because "I love you"Means somethingVery, very different to them.
I stayed.
Because I loved him.
I let him beat my brain and tear me apart.
I took my dark marks, and made them into art.
until one day, I finally ran away.
Because I loved him.
It was for the best.
Because I love you, I hear your cries
And I use myself to dry your eyes
Because I love you, I make you laugh
Circumspectly leading you down the most joyous path
Because I love you, I let you sing
It's not that, Cuyler, it's that
Being here with you is torture, but I push on
Even when you make fun of me
Causing my face to turn bright red
And I wish I could say something, but I can't
I love you almost enough.
I changed my thoughts,
you changed my actions.
You kept on growing,
but I lost my traction.
You say you love me,
but only almost enough
I Love to hear your voice
I Love your laughter, and your songs
I Love to see your happiness
And I Love that you are strong
I Love that you love music
You’re my favorite work of art
You’re my favorite melody
You’re my favorite smell
And taste
And touch
You mean the world to me
I promised not to hurt you
Like others had before
