Poem: Love Letters

Love letters have a sort of magic

about them. Each one is an attempt

by the mind to simplify a sentiment

so consuming. They’re almost as

bold as language itself for assigning

a single word to summarize such a

filling feeling. How can I reveal to you

my heart with one letter and describe

all of how I feel with the word love

alone? It would hardly be enough.

I could fill a library with love letters

and still have more to say to you,

and still have more love left over,

and still love you just as much.

Poem: Breeze

Daydreams of you drift

Into my mind like the breeze

That rustles the curtains

As it welcomes itself in.

I have finally found peace

Enough to close the windows

And let my thoughts of you

Be whisked away by the wind.

Poem: Caterpillar

A Haiku

Caterpillar, you

Are stronger than you think. Soon

You will spread your wings.

Poem: Scent

A Haiku

I thought myself new

But felt my heart shift again

At the scent of you.

Poem: Storm

I shivered at the sound

Of the storm outside

As it shouted and shook

And turned out the lights

Of the world all around

By concealing the sun

Behind heavy gray clouds,

With their heavy gray tears

Draining down one by one.
