My Poem ‘Paper’

That look into each others eyes,
that ring on your fingers,
that look that keeps you hypnotized,
that symbol of unity that reminds you every day
that out of all the people taking part
in the contest of love and life
you two won the prize to be with each other forever.

Being with each other just feels so natural,
being with each other just feels meant to be,
being with each other every day
feels like you have discovered life’s pinnacle,
being with each other every day
is something no one else could possibly understand,
because you see things in one-another, about one-another,
that no one else could possibly see.

When you know someone as well as you two do
you would think that there is nothing else for you to learn
about each other,
how could anything possibly be new?
However, every day, no matter how long you have been together,
no matter how long you spend together,
you do see and discover an untold secret
that was just waiting for the right time
to show itself and come to light-
that is the most amazing and wonderful thing
about being in a relationship, being in love,
committing yourself to the well-being of each other,
and wanting to spend all and every hour of the day
sharing anything and everything
from the early hours of the morning
to the twilight hours of the night.

A life together is never easy,
but its meaning and its effect on you
and on your life can never be replicated;
a life apart is torture in comparison-
especially when you know for certain and without doubt
that you were both the reason that through everything
you have been through separately and together,
what happened needed to happen, and that is why life waited
to gift you your soul-mate, your life-partner,
the one who needs you in their life
as much as you need to be in theirs,
who scrambles all other frequencies
but the one you need to hear-
more so than a solar flare.

Being together means something greater;
being together means that no matter what happens
you two can be a light-house for each other through any weather;
being together, being one, is more than a name,
it is more than a signature on a dotted-line;
being together is something special,
and what that means is something
that you don’t have to think about
because it is there with you both,
and it is something that no matter how hard you try
you can’t put on a piece of paper.

My Poem ‘Together’

When daylight turns to darkness,
when the night becomes the day-
everyone needs someone by their side
who they can always look to,
and who would never stray.

Love requires trust and honesty to sustain it,
a relationship is built on the knowledge
that you can’t live your life on your own,
mutual respect comes when you hear someone say something
and they mean it,
commitment is the promise that couples make
as they walk hand-in-hand together
into the great unknown.

You don’t know you are looking for someone until you meet them,
you don’t know that you love someone until that first kiss,
you don’t know anything about yourself
until you see the one who makes your heart continue to beat
again and again,
you don’t know that you want to be with someone for the rest of your life
until you remember that until you met the other half of your heart
you had never felt like this.

Some things in life just feel right,
some things that you know could never be wrong,
some things mean that everything is going to be alright,
there are some things and their is someone
who makes us believe, sometimes for the first time in our lives,
that we truly belong.

‘Marriage’ is a word that is easy to say,
but what it means to be married cannot be put into words-
it varies from person to person, and it is expressed in many ways.
Marriage is about cooperation,
living your life beyond yourself with someone else, through whatever.
Being married is making an oath to each other
that no matter what happens in the future,
everything that you do makes you who you are-
and that is what you will remember forever,
and that is what will always keep you together.

My Poem ‘Bond’

Meeting someone new is easy,
finding the one person to share and spend the rest of your life with is hard;
finding the peace to complete the puzzle of your life
is akin to finding sunken treasure on the bed of a turbulent sea;
meeting the person to whom you intend to marry is greater than destiny;
meeting your soul-mate is a fulfillment and a gift of the universe’ heart.

We feel so much for so many people in our lives,
but those bells of insight only chime for a short-time.
We say so much to so many people in brief interconnected moments,
but those words of meaning only truly speak
to a shared voice to our own that we knowingly seek.

Love is a trust that is not given lightly;
love is a faith that unifies all truth, thought, life, and identity.
Love is meant to be shared;
love is meant to be embraced, seen, shown, heard, felt, and followed
wherever its allure takes you-
to endless days of happiness,
to unforgettable nights gifted by a million stars,
to the meaning of life, fellowship-
where every moment is as indelible as a tattoo.

Making a commitment to the person who you love unquestionably,
who you adore, who you know as much about as you know about yourself,
is a treasure forever of limitless wealth;
making a vow to the person who completes you,
who you think about as an extension of your own spirit,
and who refracts the light of you like a diamond-
making such a promise is special, it is wonderful,
it is the most sacred, the most hopeful, the most beautiful,
and the most powerful of any bond.
