for you,
i would capture the stars
and show that
you shine brighter
than they ever will.
Tag: her
rain doesn’t ruin.
some claim that rain ruins days-
washing away plans
as if they are not meant
to be rinsed sometimes.
as if the sky is not allowed to cry,
too full of emotion and struggle
to continue to shine and prosper.
one small puddle,
a forgotten umbrella,
or even just a rolled down window
and suddenly they hate it all.
but why view it with anger
and not beauty?
the dancing on rooftops,
flowing down hills,
shimmering in streetlights?
don’t hide from it-
embrace the joy from when
we were once young.
get soaked,
jump in those puddles,
celebrate the beauty of nature.
grab her hand and dance
in that empty parking lot,
laughing,
loving,
and remembering that this is
the beautiful world we live in.
make these moments worth it.
live without anger.
live with joy.
those three words
no singular language is enough-
enough to describe
my passion,
my desire,
my need.
to most,
three words suffice.
to me, however,
there are endless ways
to show my thoughts.
in Irish, they say “A chuisle mo chroí”-
the pulse to my heart.
in Italian, they say “Sei il mio tesoro”-
you are my treasure.
in Spanish, they say “Mi corazón es tuyo”-
my heart is yours.
in French, they say “Tu es tout ce que j’ai toujours voulu”-
you are everything i’ve ever wanted.
to me,
you are so much more.
you are the brightest star
in the vast galaxy above,
the single flame that lights up my world
more than the sun ever could,
the sunflower that takes my hand
and guides me towards the light.
in your eyes,
no map could ever save me
as i lose my thoughts outside of one dream-
𝑌𝑜𝑢.
no one phrase will ever be fitting
for what you deserve to hear,
but i will never stop speaking them.
