Sun kissed and thriving, your eyes are the earth that surrounds me.
The deepest of emeralds speak to the tones of the land
The creases that form along the corners of your lids are the roots of the earth - a kind of physical metaphor for the kindness you have which is so deeply embedded within you.
Somehow, your eyes are able to breathe life into any who may cross their threshold; you are a source of oxygen and the earth would surely wither and perish if you are were to close off to the world.
I couldn’t ask for more loving eyes to wake to,
To see the earth and all its wonders in your eyes is to be at peace with the universe.
I get lost in the emeralds of your eyes in the same way I would lose myself in the thicket of a forest…
… and I have never questioned my sanity for allowing myself to be lost in the earth of your eyes.

I like to dabble in poetry. My writing may come across as deeply disorganised and messy but it is thus a representation of the static in my mind. Stick around if you are willing to decipher the white noise.

Feelings Never Die
It is Valentine's Day again, and it bought back memories that were over fifty years old. It bought me back to 1971, and I woke up and I knew my baby was due today. I was big and pregnant, and I felt like I was about to burst wide open. Imagine my surprise when the doctor told my I had a due date of February 14. I couldn't believe it, and since my baby was due today, I felt I could indulge myself a bit. I had gained a lot of weight, and chocolate was on the no-no list, but I had came to the end of this pregnancy, and I hoped it would be okay, after all I would deliver this baby today. So I walked across the street to the grocery story, and bought myself, a peppermint patty, covered in chocolate, my favorite. Me and my Valentine's baby would enjoy it together.
