POEM| I’ll Never Settle For Less

I’m looking for love
but not just any kind of love
I want that easy
purposeful and truthful

I’m considered the quiet type
because I don’t say much
from the onset
and my soft voice betrays me

It’s 8am
I’m awake but still in bed
the day is dull
and the sun isn’t out

Talking to you
is like chasing fire
wondering how it’ll feel
under my feet

It’s just another day
another moment
another minute
to reflect

Thinking back now,
I guess I never should have let you go
I never should have said those words

soaring the sky
basking in the sun
dancing in the rain
walking on the moon

It’s been four days
And I’ve gotten no sleep
My eyes itch

I’ve never felt
more alive
than I do
when I’m with you

This post contains a compilation of five short poems.

1. I MISS YOU

I wish we were quarantined together
because I’ve missed you more
in these past few days

We’re in the middle of a global pandemic
people are dying every day
and hope seems so far away

I bet you’ve heard the saying
no one knows tomorrow
several times and thought
well, the richest man in the world knows tomorrow

There’s never a right time
It’s going to be scary
You will wonder if you’re sane
There will always be a reason to wait

It’s been seven hundred and eight days
since I last heard from you
I wonder if you’re okay every day
and I still see you in my dreams

When the sun comes up
 and its light is in my path
 When I hear a song I love
 and its sweet melody fills my ears

Love is fire
Love is ice
Love is air
Love is peace
