Huge thanks to Amber Jerome Norrgard, Regina Puckett, Poppy Ruth Silver, Helle Gade, Brock Gates, Sreya Bremtin, and Susie Clevenger for their beautiful words.
I will fight against you, for you
Because you mean more to me
than any fight can ever erase
Amber Jerome~Norrgard
Breathes held between
lingering sighs. Tangled thoughts
hemorrhage through loving eyes.
Regina Puckett
It is the surrender
that loses light
and yet invites
Poppy Ruth Silver
I walked into your soul
Embraced all that you were with my love
But death is a jealous lover
Now that you are gone
I'll forgive, but never forget

When hate dies, compassion begins, when a violent urge to take care and be one with another, that is a two side deal, to break free of the curse of loneliness

Love is energy
And motion over time
Transcending distance.
Love will save us
If it doesn't kill us first.
Love will save us
If it doesn't kill us first.
Broken bottles
Shatter glass
Into a love letter
On the tear stained floor.
Ben Ditmars
I.
midnight rain kisses
shower eye lashes with dew
the sweet love of you
II.
spider web wishes
tangle around thoughts of you
to hold fast my heart
III.
you spoke, i answered
together we wrote the words
that said everything
Sreya Bremtin
I came with heartbreak
and you never left my side
through sickness and health
together we stood
facing every storm trusting
faith would see us through
goodnight never saw
our heads lay upon anger
forgiveness our choice
life came with its thorns
but they couldn’t divide us
love defied all odds
Susie Clevenger
