Coração
I love you
like
the amount of grains
in the sand
like
the amount of times
the waves
crash ashore
like
the oxygen
that trees produce
because my heart
feels so happy
when I’m
with
you.
Tag: relationships
Dawn’s serenity
Waking up
in love’s embrace
smiling at his
sleeping silhouette
joy circulating
through my body
Swallow
Holding
back
words
feels like
having birds
in a locked
cage
in your
chest.
Analogy
Love is like
a magic trick
best experienced
without
questioning
the how.
Peace
Your embrace
is the antidote
for any worries
Your arms
my safety blanket
Rei
Your presence
is a gift
that grows
in my heart
Your love
a work
of art.
Wednesday Subway encounter
A couple
balancing
on each other
as the subway moves
Eyes locked
Hers searching
His sure
and smiling
Retrospection
Stumbling on a picture
of two people, smiling
her eyes closed
his right hand on her waist
her head on his left shoulder
his left arm across her body
both of her hands holding his arm
But now
unfamiliar to each other.
A quality
He loved her
ethereal spirit
which allowed them
both
to ascend.
Realization
While watching
the sun
paint the sky with
a palette of orange
and gentle red hues
slowly submerging
into the river to kiss,
She missed him.
