Open Letter
Dear Darling
pave my road not to be gravel
it is dusty and curved,
no lights, its all dark
your heart compass
improves my sailing,
directing, my boat not to sink.
Endless Journey
as i travel,
be my paramedic
in my accidents
your Soul
My part
pave my road not to be gravel
it is dusty and curved,
no lights, its all dark
your heart compass
improves my sailing,
directing, my boat not to sink.
Endless Journey
as i travel,
be my paramedic
in my accidents
your Soul
My part

ENDLESS
Love a trite but I write, if I don't write what else do I have?
Love him so much I have forgotten how to love
It's madness they say
If so it seems wonderful
To die again and again for him death would wonder
In wind I would still love him
In the burning flames I would still love him
In his rejection I would still love him
If I cannot feel anything I would still love him
It's raining but I cannot feel the rain
I'm crying but I cannot feel my tears
I'll always love him with a love that's beyond love
Love him so much I have forgotten how to love
It's madness they say
If so it seems wonderful
To die again and again for him death would wonder
In wind I would still love him
In the burning flames I would still love him
In his rejection I would still love him
If I cannot feel anything I would still love him
It's raining but I cannot feel the rain
I'm crying but I cannot feel my tears
I'll always love him with a love that's beyond love

The Heaviest Matter in the Universe
Love can flip your entire world upside down, with no logic and no sense. Your emotions are stirred with an unexplainable desire deep in your core you’re often left wondering, how did I come to this?
Science can explain the chemical reactions, between physical attraction and spiritual attachment, the heart doesn’t care for rationalization, it just wants.
Love has a special effect on the soul. It's tormenting when far away and it heals all wounds with a tender touch, a soft caress and the most caring kiss. Yes, love can make you do crazy things, from crossing deserts and oceans to conquering worlds. You will do anything to protect it, anything.
But
Love...it will drive you wild with longing, a deep seeded need, it will tear you little by little, it will invade your every thought at a second of your day until you can’t take it anymore. It will make you write, spilling your most intimate thoughts and desires. It will linger in your heart for years, decades, centuries, eras, and ages and into lightyears away that knows no boundaries or time. It is the heaviest matter in the universe in the weight of tears when it’s unrequited.

She's Not to blame
She was not
to blame
the blame is mine
to claim
i let her
slide under
my skin
into my heart
with my eyes
open wide
with my mind
on wishful thinking
dream time
as she sucked me dry
an emotional wasteland
she left behind
but as they say
life
will find a way
so my feelings
will learn
to grow again
one day
She wasn't to blame
the blame is mine
the signs were there
i refused to see
i didn't look
behind the scenes
behind her smile
behind her eyes
behind the walls
she hides behind
and for that
i pay the price
a broken heart
a fractured voice
a river of tears
when i remember
the lonely fears
i thought
i'd left behind
She was not
to blame
the blame is mine
to claim
i let her
slide under
my skin
into my heart
with my eyes
open wide
with my mind
on wishful thinking

Love is
broken in Spirit
but not faith: their
trunks carved by Life
yet, places no blame
upon the hand
wielding the knife;
dry-furrowed Souls
who continue to believe:
despite unrequited efforts
they'll never understand—
though carry on
until their backs bleed;
a combatant fighter
using defensive maneuvers
to shield unhealed scars
from future wounds—
offering nonetheless
themselves unto service
whenever called upon;
doesn't try to bury
the hurt from remembering—
sits with it quietly instead
learning the lesson it taught
until free to move on
Love is endurance—
ceasing without end
even unto death
its capacity to give
despite circumstance

oOF! Thank you so much for the placement, Uma! I truly appreciate it. Congratulations, nomoth, it was indeed a beautiful entry and so worthy of the win. Congratulations, Commentonly! It was achingly felt and worthy of second place! Love is, and always shall be, immeasurable, particularly in words; however, we poets shall never cease our attempts to convey its essence.
