Response to love letter
Dear Eos,
I
wish I still felt passion in my heart toward
the generous soul that you are.
You always saw beauty in the world
and painted strokes of life
with a brush of sweetness and delight.
I
am sorry for the suffering life's put you through.
The heart is a fickle thing. It simply was not meant to be.
We've walked

Love Letter Torn From a Rib
I tore a letter from inside my ribs
not a heart, just the script of your name
written in red ruin and birth fluid.
You were never mine.
You were my plague.
And still I prayed at your shadow.
Every sentence you whispered
became a worm in my lung,
a hymn stuck in the throat of a dying god.
And yet, when the mirror

Never Posted
I wrote
then paused,
ball pen hovering—
the words too bare.
They sat
on yellow sheets,
unsealed and unsent
in little brown envelopes.
A line
meant for truth,
one for letting go,
another for quiet peace.
I wrote
“I miss you,”
maybe even “I love you,”
then crossed half the page.
Sometimes
I read through
the unsaid in my heart,
and almost sent a word.
Your name—
blue, unfading
crawl the old sheets,
but my voice never

The Love Letter
Please Listen to me when I say,
“You’ve got to hide your love away.”
I know I have to hide mine too.
It’s hard to hide a love so true!
Our parents wouldn’t understand
young love. They’re blind to things this grand.
The bell for sixth-grade recess rings
at ten. Let’s meet beside the swings.

My Memory Of Red Roses And Love Letter Of My Youth
When I see red roses
I remind of bloody sunsets
That is frozen in green field
I see those petals like tongues
Burning like flames under pressure
Its passion cannot explained in words
And its smell like fresh wind from the East
I envy with star and love it the most
Each beauty is sealed like love letter
From a boyhood and girlhood of

Penning Passion
My life was a lie, until I met you.
You hold my soul, I hold your hands.
Must die in arms, looking at you,
Till the last drop, dreaming of you.
Cover-up me close, but don't cry!
It's not your loss, time I am losing you.
Only few moments, more to make love,
Flowers, clouds, mountains, seas ,skies,
Stars, moon, sun, and my

The last love letter
I love you.
That is all I know.
To talk to you, to feel your hand by my side. God, I really loved you.
If I knew the pain it would've caused me, knew the love I would've wasted,
Then I would turn back and walk away from you.
If there is something like fate,
I curse it, for all eternity

Love Letter
i should write something back,
I know.
Love letters do not agree well
When left without a response.
This is what I continue to tell myself.
Still, there it sits,
Anonymous and unrequited
I will not write a lie,
Nor will I feign feelings
Where it's certain they'll
Never be.
Still, I should write something back,
I know.
Love letters do not age well
When left with

A love letter
I am not one who usually does this,
but I would love to write you one.
I want to write it all down,
the way you have made me feel lately,
my gratitude for your time,
for loving and respecting me.
In a piece of paper, portrayed with hearts
I want to feel how it feels,
to write a love letter.
To have the

A Love Letter To Myself
I see you,
in the quiet moments,
when the world fades to a whisper
and it’s just you,
breathing in the calm
of your own presence.
You’ve walked through storms,
held your ground in the wind,
even when your knees shook
and your heart

The Wail of a Love Letter
Carrying the fever and heat
of love’s first flame,
I set out on a journey
expectant and anxious,
sealed and tight lipped,
all emotions bottled.
From port to port I journeyed,
travelling in a little love vessel.
What a heavy cargo of dreams I carried
with the scent of memories perfumed.
Did a black cat cross my path?
Behind all veils of cloud,
hope lingered
My

love letter to my mother
mom, i think im dying
and i think i will miss you
my 8 year old self would hate me for that
but you are my flesh, my home
your rage is a tribute to all you have endured, perhaps misdirected, but i think i understand you now
a final encore
i know that scares you
it scares me too

Healing A Love Letter To Florida Rimas Dissolutas
Pearl white sand, emerald arches,
sweat leaks on a coconut breeze;
Folding my hands into a shield
it’s shadow lost in the Sun’s glare;
All of this dog day heat marches
bending to it’s will sway palm trees;
They exhale humid breath and yield,
I can taste the salt in the air;
Florida’s healing is revealed,
I’m feeling like

read when I'm gone
i wanted to say goodbye,
but i'm afraid I wasn't strong enough.
i haven't been able to look you in the eyes
these past weeks.
so instead,
I'll offer an explanation.
they told me from birth,
that i was never deserving
of your love,
but know
that this performance
will eventually be written as nothing more
than a dalliance with death.
I'm tired of being afraid
to be alive.
so

Two Souls Intertwined
That very first moment, your personality shone bright
I still vividly recall how I felt that night
That big beaming smile that you wear so well
From that moment on, you had me under your spell
I was entranced as I looked into your glorious green eyes
Suddenly overcome with a feeling I didn’t recognise
It rocked me again as
