The Full Moon and the Thing with Feathers

As the golden glow of the full moon shines through your window tonight while you sleep…. casting a beautiful, warm, hazy light upon you, as you peacefully dream…. I hope it could be me that you are dreaming of.

You have taken root in my soul, hooked yourself into my psyche and etched your memory permanently into my brain.

There is no other woman that has ever had this effect on me… there was instant recognition that two random puzzle pieces had perfectly joined together, the moment we locked eyes.

I felt a warmth radiating from you, that penetrated deep into my heart, piercing through all my defenses. It was a calm, healing energy that felt like the medicine I had searched for my entire life….. the elusive cure for my deepest longing.

It has been a few months since I’ve seen your beautiful face. I think about you every single day and weep for you at night. Sadly, we let miscommunication, avoidant tendencies and a fear of showing up as our true selves slow our roll to a complete standstill.

Sometimes I think it’s all one-sided on my part, but my heart tells me a different story…I hold on with hope that you feel the same and that our story hasn’t even yet begun….

“Hope, is the thing with feathers, That perches in the soul… And sings the tune without the words….And never stops…at all”

-Emily Dickinson

I love you. In this life, past lives and lives to come.

The Woman I Adore

There once was a woman named *****
She was part human, part fairy
It was love at first sight
I wrote a poem about her that very night

I thought maybe the feelings would go away
But three years later, I know that they’re here to stay
I tried to fight it with all my might
But she’s the one I dream of at night

The dreaming & longing spill into the day
It’d be easier to keep a tornado at bay
I wonder if she even has a clue
I wonder what she would think, if only she knew

Her beauty goes beyond skin deep
Just her brain alone would be worth taking the leap
But that adorable, deep dimple on her face took me out
She is the woman of my dreams….there is no doubt

She doesn’t need to fear my intentions
And my willingness to throw off all conventions
From wining & dining, to slow dancing on the porch
She’s the only one that has me carrying a torch

Is she sees this, there should be enough clues
I’m putting it all on the line- she’s someone I never wanted to lose
I’m ready to tell her how gently I would hold her heart
And I pray from now on, we will never, ever have to part.

To the Most Beautiful and Smart Woman in the World:

Just shy of 3 years ago, fate pulled me by a red string into somewhere I’d never been before, and I met you. You turned my whole world upside down. You are the one that I didn’t even know I’d always been searching for…..Bold. Real. Electric. Impulsive. Emotional. Clever. Beautiful.

We looked into each other’s eyes for what seemed like an eternity and I’ve never been the same since. I fell deeply in love with you immediately and it made me question everything. Still does. Sadly, I may never know if you felt the same, due to how time, lack of communication, and circumstance played out.

I’ve never loved anyone with the burning intensity that I feel for you. There is some kind of magic in our connection that feels extraordinarily exhilarating and oddly familiar, in an otherworldly way….all with a built-in, mutual trust. I always wonder if you felt the same thing to the same degree I did, or if you even felt anything at all, as we both have one hell of a poker face.

I wish we could’ve just had that conversation. I’ve been told that I’m too blunt, too direct, too this or too that….. but in my mind, it’s just plain, old fashioned honesty…and maybe that scared you.

I tried to get to know you better, off and on, but you put up walls too high for me to scale. I took that as rejection. And yet…. I still couldn’t let you go. My heart and intuition wouldn’t let me.

I’ve always been highly attracted to intelligence, but you have so much more going for you than that …..I am attracted to your soul.

Because of our latent traumas, we played stupid games and won stupid prizes and now we are practically strangers again.

If you were to call or text me, I would drop everything and meet you anywhere. I would, finally, confess my undying love. Nothing is standing in our way…. except a lack of open and honest communication.

I would be the happiest person in the world just to hold you and feel your heartbeat next to mine. I daydream all the time about all the ways I would love you like you’ve never been loved before. I dream of our first kiss, bending down to meet your lips…you looking up at me in your adorable way & I just become weak in the knees. Just thinking about your softness and sweetness sets me on fire with passion and desire like no other.

I want closeness without suffocation and commitment without demands in my relationships and something tells me that you may want the same thing.

I can see how perfect we are for each other …and how we could help heal each other’s deepest wounds, naturally and easily, given time.

We could have a beautiful, exciting & unconventional life together, but it takes two to tango, my Love. Take a step toward me and let’s find out.

Eternally Yours

Do you feel the pull? No matter our distance or circumstance? Apparently, this is all Yue Lao’s doings…..the Old Man under the Moon. He tied us together with a red string at birth and it can never be broken. It might stretch or get tangled, but it always pulls us together when the time is right. Superstitious? Maybe….but how else can it be explained? These ungodly, intense feelings for you…. I’ve cried over you for God’s sake. More times than I’d like to admit. It makes no earthly sense.

You have pissed me off more times than I can shake a stick at….it doesn’t lessen the pull one bit. We have barely spoken in ages….does not matter. It baffles my mind that I can, on one hand, know next to nothing about you, but also feel that I know you more intimately than anyone else on earth. I can’t fight this and I’m done trying to.

I don’t think these feelings will ever go away. You cannot control fate, but supposedly, you can trust it.
