. losing a soul lover cuts deep— deeper than the depths to the bottom of the sea my withering spirit mourned many years gradually rising from the ashes in the mirror i saw missing you and your initials on my heart sighing contentedly not clinging to the past #vss365 #poetry

hope you had a happy fourth

. obsession with him dominates my being, like the way golden sun & sky prevail over earth loving this ghost who haunts me always, our souls aching to be together wishing on stars until he reaches my shores I will wait patiently #amatory #poetry

beautiful sky tonight

. I remembered wanting to be here with you many years ago when we were younger this watery place cradling and hiding us from the world waves crashing, drowning out the pounding of my heart being near you #vss365 #poetry

. yesterday was so long ago tomorrow is just a dream.. I'll wait for you there

. it was different then: a time of finding the courage to break free from cruel entanglements of magic spells and seductive dreams he was an oasis in the desert, refuge from the desolation a lion-hearted knight who showed me how to love #vss365 #poetry

. you fall in love with people's minds —anais nin

I loved you more than you'll ever know... it was a love that surpassed any other in ways I never imagined it could— I hope you felt what you've meant to me, and how you still live in my heart #vss365 #poetry

. there is no glory in potatoes no majesty in garlic yet they please my palate make me salivate and the splendor of sharing a meal we cooked together would taste divine #vss365 #poetry

. February's valentines tokens of affection emanating love and ardent emotions remembrances of passionate kisses real or imagined unexplainable body and soul attractions bonding with others & celebrating life #vss365 #poetry #valentinesday

. he made me dream taught me about love flowing like a river he's in my veins— every bone in my body aches for his warmth #vss365 #poetry #art John White Alexander (1856)

. steady peace inside my head despite shadows and chaos of the world— with times of disbelief & sorrow #vss365 #poetry

this too

. hanging on for dear life when the tide rolls out desperation in abstraction‐— being exposed and vulnerable when I fell for you #vss365 #poetry

. looking through rain-streaked windows watching paths raindrops take on their way to the ground... wondering if he will walk up the sidewalk to find me one day or if we'll meet through a different doorway in time— shoot for the moon in another universe #vss365 rv #poetry

. the future holds for us dreams and questions an obvious clash of fantasy and reality and since we met your name has been a daily prayer creating visions of us together— doing things we might do heartache lives in my ribcage my soul misses you #vss365 #poetry

. every day humbles me I had you and lost you whenever I want I can get lost in our story #poetry

. places we visit the ether of our planet a house of mirrors #pennedreveries #poetry image: freepik ai

. a day at the beach sunbeams sparkle on your face our toes in the sand . #vss365 #haiku
