poetic.

You remind me of the sun rays through the thick foliage of trees, drawing shadows of epic stories on the ground.

You remind me of the sound of the wind flirting with sunflowers in vaste fields, under the adoring look of the clouds.

You remind me of the waves of the sea, singing the birds to sleep while the stars keep them company.

You remind me of the cycle of life, arising every day with new beauty from your soul.

Flames raising up to the sky, defying the Gods.

Fire. Free, daring, powerful.

Sparkles lightning the night, showing the way.

Fire. Fierce, loud, mighty.

Flashes heating the air, rivaling with the Sun.

Fire. Brave, grand, unstoppable.

The essence of your soul.

On the next night, the stars will be gone. Nobody will be able to explain it, but the roof of the sky will be pitch black.

On the third night, you will receive a box. It will be a plain cardboard box, sealed with common transparent tape, and written on with a simple sharpie. The text will read, “For you, the brightest of all.”

Inside, you will find your sisters. 

The stars and the moon, finally given back to their rightful owner.

2. I fell for you in slow motion. I saw your smile and my heart swelled. I saw your eyes and my lungs collapsed. I heard your voice and all my wings caught fire.

3. I brought mayflowers for our living room and you bought curtains on craigslist for our bedroom.

4. I cried my tears into the ocean. The ocean called me its child.

5. We kissed under the stars. You say you don’t remember. But the stars are persistent. Stars can’t lie. You don’t believe them.

6. We danced on the surface of the moon. When I kissed you, you burst open into stars. It was the most terrifying beauty I’ve ever seen.

7. I bought a ring five months after we met. You cried and said you belong to me. I never told you that I belonged to you from the start.

8. Last night I woke up and apologized for all the times I denied you. You asked what I meant. I fell asleep without answering.

9. I loved you at 3 a.m. with your perfume on my skin and your kisses all over my spine. I trembled with love and my legs shook from desire.

10. You say you love me. I kiss you in the middle of a busy street, ice cream dripping on the filthy floor. All around us people cheer.

How many times must I bury you?

Oh love, says the heart, blood mixed with grave dirt.

blind,

unfounded,

it will kill both

you

and me

before it is ever

recognized.
