I move through evenings, a secret wish unspoken woven into quiet streets, soft corners, each heartbeat whispering your name like a prayer. I circle your world faithful, unwavering. Each turn, a vow; each glance carrying a kindness I can’t disguise. I pause by your street: windows glowing like lanterns of affection. I wait for a… Continue reading LOVE Poem: Chasing Light, by Ashri Gorte

Her flesh was made of pure gold He placed amethysts in her eyes Turquoise on each fingertip Day and night Wary not to miss a single detail Beauty did not come without a cost A basket of discarded hearts His and their tears Day and night She was now all that remained They all were… Continue reading LOVE Poem: The Blacksmith, by Angelina Hong

Too hot, Too cold, Too small that’s how El cajon is built the way you can see the heat waves in the streets and cars in the summer or the way it never snows but you can feel yourself freezing during winter the way two cars can barely fit through the streets of Emerald and… Continue reading LOVE Poem: El Cajon, by Geovanna Santiago

The sun is thirsting for her as much I do. I can see that through the window of my sport’s pub, through the tiny square with the fountain where we just had lunch together, through the window of her gym where she’s laughing with her client and showing her how to use the leg extension… Continue reading LOVE Poem: i want to know, by Katerina Dementeva

Love is a magnetic power. Dehydrated connections will systematically drain the needy. Don’t misuse love, to only dampen the need for spiritual electricity. As the testing times, clouds are risky.

And sometimes, we saw that strange piercing light. Without a second thought we moved, glimmering forward. To absent, shining too bright to see, Not ready for the fall between. We choose to linger in the dark. And run so far from blinding light. Faces blend together, Memories lose their gleam. An angel without wings.

Not the first couple for there is no guilt but not the last for there is no guilt alone in the world and there is no world only two on this raft riding the sea with no sail no continent no destination no direction but each other plumbing the depth of being looking into the… Continue reading LOVE Poem: With You, by Patrick Trombly

Thank you for being the infinite calm in the storm. Thank you for being an inexhaustible light in the darkness. Thank you for being a mother and for the children you have given me. Thank you for being your life; what my life steers. Thank you for being stone, iron, steel in the adversity. Thank… Continue reading LOVE Poem: Thank You, by Edgar Galeano

maybe it was your eyes: clear, studiously present, concealing nothing, judging less. maybe it was your song: consoling to my spirit, like an easy, morning rain. maybe it was your innocent joy: as genuine as mine, a child’s, and wide open, like when you spread your wings. there is no single reason why i loved… Continue reading LOVE Poem: caesar, by Michael Russell
