To be loved so hard

To be loved so hard…
Is there anything better?

That raw connection, primal and lusty
in an earth-shattering kind of way

A feeling that leaves you breathless
wanting more and more
until your body is completely tangled up
in sheets saturated
with the drenching of divine energy

Where the cares of the world lose their luster
and all that remains is the very reason for living

Oh, to be lost in that blissfully euphoric world
the one you’ve both created
from the deepest depths of your souls

There is no greater gift
than to be wrapped in the arms
of someone who never holds back
who gives everything
the one who understands you
like no one else ever has
to grow every day
deeper and deeper in love
with years spent discovering
the best parts of yourself
but also entwined with the heart and soul
of someone special

That someone being the best thing
that’s ever happened to you

The only reason you wish you could live forever
because without them
eternity doesn’t matter
and life here on earth may as well not even exist

My phantom friend

Capture

Orbs of light
dance before me.

Iridescent illusions
begging for attention.

Wisps of wonderment,
mesmerizing and bizarre.

Veiled splendor,
yearning for notice.

Hidden behind
a harsh reality.

And I say…
“I see you.”

My heartfelt wish
is that she’ll keep on dancing

And in nebulous purple,
she remains my phantom friend.

The Dream

Capture7

Once lost on the cusp
of a whisper in time,
is now something cultivated,
formed and fashioned.

Evidence composed
of a sacred memory.

Sprinkled with the essence
of a divine creator.

Recorded as proof
that our existence
has never been limited
to the meager
constraints of this world.

But instead,
“The Dream,”
that wonderful, beautiful dream,
goes far beyond…

Far beyond anything
we could ever imagine.
