You are

. . the air
I breathe;

the glorious sun
that warms my heart;

the vast of green
that imbues all of me;

the morning dew
that makes me feel brand new;

the gentle wind
that inspires the best in me;

the calm sea
that lets me dive to life;

. . . devoid of impossibility;
devoid of regret;

. . . filled with hope;
filled with joy.

Because you,
my sweetest thing–
is my
everything.

Earlier Version:

You Are Everything

The hardest tears
are hidden
by poker smiles;
just as
the loudest cry
is concealed
by a smirk.

The toughest goodbyes
are when feet
head
to the doorway,
though the heart
wishes to stay.

For there are moments,
silence
speaks louder than words;

For there are moments,
words
are not enough
for the pain
sustained.

And the harder silence rises,
the deeper it cuts.
The deeper it cuts,
the harder it bleeds.
The harder it bleeds,
the deeper it burns.
The deeper it burns
the harder tears flow. . .

An enormity
often
beyond one’s control,
tears flowing
like those of a river.
And the pain,
raging like currents;
creating havoc
to one’s heart
and soul.

-Revised and reposted-

It’s two-o’clock,
but it seems
like six or seven.
The grayish clouds
are thickening,
and it’s starting
to drizzle.
While an old melody
starts playing,
a very familiar longing
begins unfolding.

And
as the “long,
dark”
and very “lonely night”
is slow approaching,
memories
are fast rewinding.
While silent tears
begin
to fall,
this very lonely heart,
is inevitably missing;
uncontrollably hoping;
and, so undeniably
yearning
anew.

Let me be
the sunshine of your rainy days;
the moonlight of your starless nights;
the beacon of your hope;
the comfort for all your ruins;
the solace for all your struggles;
the trophy for your unwavering faith–
For these,
are what you are to me.

Let me be
your home,
as you are my sanctuary;
Let me be
your always,
as you are my forever
and beyond.

Let me be your only one.
