you

are everything i

never knew

to hope for.

     the

       purge was

         necessary. Sorry if

     i got

       on you, though.

you  

are a moon,

big as 

   hurt-hearted love.

          True

          North

not 

harvesting self 

worth from you 

or anyone. the 

addiction 

to attention 

and distraction 

feeds 

an identity 

based 

on validation. inadequate

because we're 

not 

in line with 

purpose 

and values. not tuned 

into 

ourselves.

this 

competitive 

activation 

where one does not 

want the 

other 

to grow 

and leave 

or be better and 

advance faster - triggers

sabotage - hurts 

all.


maybe 

this is what 

you have been

teaching me.

self - worth 

and not 

compromising. 


need 

the return

to simplicity, to love

within myself.


but what is love? i

heard 

that its caring 

about the others 

experience 

as much as your own. 

its a feeling. its a decision.

it is abstract 

and tangible.


we 

had something. 


so much 

of our 

relationship 

may have 

been invisibly 

nurtured 

through love.

yet here i am. still.

because of 

devotion and 

worth 

and 

deep 

value,

maybe

a denial of

understanding.


but Love stood before we did.

it found. it connected.

always remaining. calm

and patient 

and knowing

under each 

and every 

turbulent 

ghastly 

desire 

storm. guiding when

there is no hope. Love is a force.

a nutrient. it has stated its place.


the growth 

and protection 

modes from the biology 

of belief...

love and fear

can we have both at the same time

i question this as a strong yes.


its like we expect the same pain and disappointment

but what if...we open

and encourage

provide security

and expand...


Boundless love exists. 

when it is pure, love is amicable 

and coexists with other love  

it 

heightens and multiplies 

and transcends.

abundance never

scarcity.

(i like to think that would be one of loves mantras)


we 

transition. we get to 

start new. over

and over. our truth is 

love and beauty in

honest 

imperfection.

together and

apart.


thank you

for letting some 

light in. 


it was very much needed.


--excerpts from the past I

26.9.23

   Would you actually

discuss

      the waters I'd anticipate 

being

       choppy?

I want to type

     up

     a tornado. or I could just hypothesize

until our lights go out.

    I'd rather experiment.

Have

     some faith.

        Does it scare you more looking

up

    than

         down?


--excerpts from the past II

22.9.23

categorize my love 

for you. 

explain it away. 

create a bottomless 

pit of sweet-ness

that refuses 

to melt. 

*

because my love is glacial. 

only to reform. 

re-rise. 

as time 

will certainly 

permit.

it is in the moment that understanding takes precedence

that love will come within.
