I feel like we finally started seeing each other
last night when our hands were together
your words were soft
mine, understanding
working toward a life of forever
Who knew love could be this hard?
Back in the 90's
when the net was young
words were our life
like your name on my tongue
We grew closer and intimate
without the feeling of skin
We opened our hearts wide
and accepted the other within
As the years flew by
and distance reigned
life drove us apart
as though fate were feigned
But, together at last
through a fateful verse
I reached out and you answered
dispelling our curse
Now, a few years later
we fight hardest for our love
learning to embrace
when our instincts are to shove
I know we'll make it together
My faith is greater than the Pope's
We have the rest of our lives together
sharing passions & play, hearts & hopes
Symbolizing my commitment and desire
I've given you the hardest stone
You gave me in return
your heart and body to own

Sometimes true love isn't enough. Sometimes you have to work really hard to change yourself into the person you need to be that allows a relationship to flourish. Always you need hope and endurance to make it through. Recalling an amazing history that's torn my love from me and reunited us, again, many years later. We met on the internet when it was only text and we wrote poetry together, had long (expensive) talks on the phone and we grew to love each other from the inside out. Distance overwhelmed with a country between us and we grew apart. I measured every love after that by what we had and no one could ever live up to what I needed. Over ten years later, a poem rocks my day & forces it's way out through my heart. I sent it to her out of the blue and she responded, still missing me. We moved to the same town and fell back in love, determined to make it last for the rest of our lives.

Creep
Take me away to San Francisco,
where everything and anything that happens in my dreams exist,
where my dreams can roam free like the tendril of the ocean,
and secret smiles are shared.
When only the mist from a warm cup of hot chocolate
will disturb my thoughts,
when I can be free again.

The bay and the mountains met and clasped hands,
stirring around the quaint houses
and trolley cars streaming up and down like kites in the sky.
Where cerulean met emerald,
they looked into each others eyes,
and promised life and love for each other.

Together they have survived the worst of it all,
standing strong even now,
their bodies humming and alive,
beating and there.
Where music moves like a silent poison everywhere,
people like pieces of art walking down the street,
and shops like little treasure chests.

Please carry me away,
back to San Francisco-
the place of my dreams.
dreaming about san fran again...
its a dream of mine to go there again and to study at a uni nearby. (stanford, uc berkeley)

I stopped writing like I used to
and I tried writing like your used to
but the syllables and hard words am not used to

am dry with words that can intoxicate you
but I know if I write my truth
the stars will glow as the wind brings you

so am gonna write to unfreeze my heart
am gonna write the unspoken words
am gonna write to free me from the chains that strangle me
Twenty thousand leagues
doesn't begin to go as deep
as the love
I feel for
you.
Seen
through a telescope:
ten cents worth of fog.
******* in the snow
outside my door--
it makes a very straight hole.
You
Breathe. Everythings going to be fine. Don't give up. I believe you are okay and as beautiful as on the day you entered this world. Thank God you went through so much ugliness and didn't become it.

The poor get poorer,
The rich get richer.
           In some cases it’s a debate
             harsh situations Fluctuate
When money speaks, power escalates.

Sometimes…
The poor gets tougher,
The rich gets fragile against danger.

Often times…
Harsh situations make us stronger,
Easy life makes us weaker.

the second one...
thanks again for reading.
