“It may be that we look somewhat similar to each other’s prior love interests, but perhaps this means that we were searching for each other, all along.”

“The anxiety levels must have been greatly exacerbated before the two of you met for the first time in person,” the interviewer suggested inquisitively.
“I know that for me, the tension became almost unbearable,” the woman replied, “and I wasn’t at all sure that it was me that he wanted.”
We’re divided into pieces
Driven or not by purpose
Half of my life ought to be
For myself and my partner
Whereas much of the rest
To family, friends, society
And portions yet to come in
Exploring good experiences
Love’s currency
I wanna roll the numbers
I wanna feel my stars align again
Won’t you pay for your arrogance?
Won’t you show me your weakness?
Tangled with what I never said
I wanna be forgiven

It’s complicated
Yet also simple
About timing
And rhythms
Giving
Taking
Risking
Claiming
Reaching for
Identifying
When caution
Is retracting
Pushing past
Barriers yet
Respecting
Fragilities
Protecting
As guiding
Leading as
Following
Gliding
Colliding
Momentum
And slowing
Casting off
As growing
What’s known
New learning
Intertwining
For owning
Expansion’s
Propagation
Through
Seasons
Ebbing
Flowing
In good partnership, extremes in life
Can by modulated by love’s comfort
Discussing, strategizing, supporting
Ultimately falling asleep in safe arms
Air needs earth’s defining
Earth needs air to breathe
Breathe me in
Transforming
Let me feel how your
Contours curve uneven
As I rest upon
Primal potential
No longer wastelands
Crying tears to revive
As rain sprouts
Dreaming seeds
Bringing forth a
Promised haven
We both remember
And were cast from
Claiming
Together
Reward’s
Paradise

She wouldn’t have to do everything on her own, anymore…
“She could walk just fine, again…”
Music slumbers within me
Awaiting union’s harmony
Repost from August 23, 2022
To find out
Who he is
Without
Hiding
(Play with meanings)
Do you truly crave touch
By openly-shared feeling?
Or are your words merely
Forms of tempt-capturing?
“I think we have this in common.”
To be only human
And
Not judged for it
From what I’ve seen
Compatibility comes
From two parts of one
Dream Suitor – June 18, 2025, daylight morn
(Him, flowing and lovely)
You get so much done
You feel so much love
I’m taking the time to get to know you
I wanna grow old as get to hold you
With only the stars in the heavens
Lasting longer than our life’s honor
You would send me
Words so I could sleep
You’d say a prayer
For God to vigil keep
I never knew why
You were kind to me
I never knew
I never knew
I never knew
I never KNEW
Until I woke up
And looked around
And saw you
Smiling at me
(Speeding up with crowd joining “THAT!”)
And you want me
Just like THAT
Gotta have me
Just like THAT
Gonna feed me
Just like THAT
Gonna need me
Just like THAT
(Me)
I know that you
Play the long game
But if we don’t leap
How will we learn
That it’s gonna last
Despite our past?
(Him)
Give it time
Follow my rhyme
You’ll see we’ve
Got it in the bag
Will you take this ring
And be my wife
To be there every
Day of my life?
Cause I do
I do I do
Choose you
I do I do
I do
By what criteria is
The combination
Found out to be
Advantageously
Suited in union’s
Combustability?
She said, “I can’t take it anymore, not knowimg.”
He said, ” I can’t take it anymore, not having.”
“How do you know what key to push or string to pluck? My inner ear is out of luck – though I call it when I feel it.”
“Is it possible that once a good man has secured a good woman, that after he’s come to know what seems like everything about her, that he would be open to and wanting her to keep growing and evolving – and that even if she someday could no longer, that he would love her and cherish her just as strong as ever?”
“I dreamed that I had spoken her name outside out loud, and suddenly, a larger, stronger-than-ever before and heavily muscled-thick Blue Ranger came running up to be picked up and held to chest, closely.
The end-time medication had somehow reversed the sickness, and when she’d awoken, she’d set out to find and reunite with us!”
An incredible pain load can make the body crave equal or greater stimulus of pleasure and comfort.
We hold onto and revisit the past, not knowing what we could reach for and have in the future.
“Somewhere out there, there’s a timeline where my once husband did not have injuries that took away his amazing physicality; we toured the world on motorcycles, feeling wild and free; and we kept our family together by love’s enduring fidelity.”
Where for more than a moment
One had a sense they belonged.
Give me the prospect of hope, any day or time.
That it’s possible for love to travel on its own, seeking to find and claim you.
“Come on and lead me on – tease me all night long. I’d rather be a fool with a broken heart than someone who never had a part of you.”
Maxine Nightingale’s “Lead Me On.”
(I’m not sure how healthy this is, but can appreciate the romantic sentiment.)
I ensured ducklings fledged into adulthood found their way to the nearby stream, and river dolphins beckoned for my attention – whereupon one surfaced, asking for help and waiting patiently while I untangled its head from cyborg science experimenting.
