My love for you

It's never been 
about the way you look
I could meet you 
with my eyes wide shut
and I would love you
just the same
My love for you 
burns from the fire 
in your soul
the passion
in your heart 
and the things 
felt so deep 
they could never be seen
Only felt

Follow your Path

So close...
Seconds away from pure joy
or utter disaster
Which path will you choose?
Those things that 
come easiest 
are rarely worth having
The path full of thorns 
and the storms 
hard to weather
Can occasionally lead 
to a destinations unexpected
closer
together

One

And in an instant, our two became one
One heart
One soul
One mind
One love

mysterious

She was deep 
and a tad bit mysterious
Like the ocean at high tide 
under a full moon
Sometimes a breeze 
rippling over a glass like surface
Barely moving
Other times a raging hurricane
The waves, a tsunami
Always hiding her depths 
just under the surface
Pulling me in 
like a riptide in a stormy sea
I drown

❤️

Love yourself so much 
That the love of someone else
Becomes a non factor

We are the thing
Dreams are built on
An image 
With stick on smiles
That never quite came true
Trying
But failing
To be the fantasy 
We thought each of us 
Wanted
But never knew
A skin deep illusion
Barely concealing
The nightmare
We can’t escape
Not happy
Not real
The more we’re desperate 
To hide
The more we unknowingly
Reveal

Giving up on all those 
Hopes that used to leave me yearning
Like long lost wishes
Trapped on the wings
Of dandelions
Blowing in the breeze
Far from perfect
But learning
To realize the difference
Between intention
And longing
The difference between
Working for something
Or waiting for nothing

She clung to you
Full of childish fantasies
And seemingly never ending
Hope 
Faith in the promises you whispered
In young trusting ears
Trying hard to be fearless
But still full of fear

Her hand slips from a 
Suddenly unsure grasp
Her unrealized future
Knocking the breath from
Brand new lungs 

Leaving her gasping
Searching for the someone
She never really knew

Follow Your Own Path

Life is full of challenges
Tough choices
Hard decisions
Not always will the path
Be marked with wrong or right

Be strong and learn
to make your own decisions 
it’s always going to be easier
To walk in the footsteps
Of others
Repeat words said
By others
Believe in ideas
Thought by others

The things that are 
Worth it
Are rarely easy
And Just because 
it’s popular 
Doesn’t mean it’s always true 
Or that it’s always
Meant to be for you

Use your voice
Open your mind
And choose the path
You think is best 
Even if it’s not
The easy one

Live your truth 
Know your worth
And never let a
Stranger try to 
Tell you how to feel
Or how to act
No one feels 
The same feelings
The same way

Why try to be a copy of 
Another
When you can be the crazy
Strange beautiful
Version there already is
of you

The exact moment that I held you
And looked down upon your face
Was the first time I’d ever 
Felt real love with all my heart
The kind of love that changes you
Powerful
The kind you sacrifice for with out 
Hesitation 
I felt it surround me
Comfort me
Unconditional
True love felt by my whole head
And my whole heart
All of these brand new emotions 

Felt together in that single instant
As I gladly gave you my heart
My beautiful pride and joy
My perfect baby boy
