Love is a sound
A distinct sound
It sounds like heaven
Angels singing
Hearing actual instruments
The drums are beating like my heart
The flute is your gentleness towards me
The guitar is what our chemistry sounds like
Love is looking into his eyes
And feeling home
It's a comfort feeling
His eyes are brown
Like looking into pools of water
I see his hurt, his pain
I feel his soul reaching out to me
I just want to love him
Love all of him
Love is two souls finding each other
From the darkness of the world
And healing together
And laughing
As well as being there for the downtime
Love is him, love is us.
Battle Scars By: Samantha Jean Tate
They showed their battle scars
They were vulnerable
They were in a sacred union
They cuddled, they kissed
He stroked her dirty blonde hair
She eased herself into his bare chest
He told her he loved her madly
She said she felt the same
She looked into his caramel eyes
And said, "I don't ever want to lose you again".
He called her gorgeous
As he caressed her scars on her womb
She called him an Adonis
He was her god for the night
And forever
She was his Aphrodite for the night
And forever
The two had good conversations
They talked about life
They talked about loss
And everything in between
He got lost in her blue eyes
And she got lost in his words
It was the perfect night
They read each other poetry
They read erotica
They quoted romance memes to each other
They were deeply, madly in love
Twin flames at its finest
She never believed in twin flames
But he changed her mind
They weren't tortured souls
They healed when they were with each other
He was her inspiration
She was his muse
They would be united together forever
No matter where in the universe or galaxy
And across dimensions from time and space
They would cross paths again
In many lifetimes after this one
But right now
It's magic
It's heaven on Earth
It's true love
And they found it in each other
For Better and For Chaos
By: Samantha Jean Tate
My wedding day probably won't be perfect.
Me and my groom sleep in until noon,
forgetting that today was thee day!
We would frantically get dressed,
brush our teeth in a hurry,
he'd forget to put boxers on,
and I'd forget something borrowed,
something blue.
My wedding day wouldn't go on without a hitch,
My witness would forget the music I wanted played.
Instead, we use my phone,
and she plays How To Save a Life.
A bad omen? A joke?
Maybe.
But for one moment,
as I walk down the aisle,
I see him.
We join hands,
face to face.
Recite our vows
at a slow pace.
We savor this moment, this time, this place.
We forget about the chaos of the day,
Say "I do"
and kiss,
becoming one with the universe—
and each other.
My wedding day will not be perfect
It may not even be ideal
But if my wedding day isn't chaotic,
Then it's probably not happening at all.
My Knight of Wands
By: Samantha Jean Tate
He came in fast,
Like a wildfire.
But he stayed,
While the embers were cooling down.
We had fun,
He was sexy,
He was charming,
And now he's everything to me.
I can't live without his soft touch,
I can't sleep without his voice to tuck me in.
The fire is just starting —
We're not cooling down yet!
Dedicated To Him
By: Samantha Jean Tate
To him,
Who saw me when I was down,
Who made me smile with his brown eyes
Watching over me.
To him,
He noticed me when I was invisible
He befriended me, no questions asked.
He stood up for me behind my back,
His sensitivity mirrored mine.
To him,
For all the friendship he's given me
For all the comfort just knowing he's there.
To him, I dedicate this poem
And my heart
Forever will be yours.
Online Love
By: Samantha Jean Tate
I sign on to AOL
Just to see your name pop up
My heart beats fast
I get nervous
Thinking about IMing you
Low and behold,
You send me a message.
We chat,
but I cannot tell you how I really feel.
I lol at your jokes,
I make cute innuendos with emojis,
My status update are emo romantic songs lyrics.
It doesn't phase you,
you don't know my secret,
that I'm in
love with you!
I Hope
By: Samantha Jean Tate
I hope you fall in love with someone who makes you feel seen and heard.
I hope you fall in love with someone who wants to be around you, in good times and bad.
I hope you fall in love with someone who will fight for what you have.
I hope you fall in love with someone who brings light to your darkness.
I hope you fall in love with someone who can make you laugh during the hard times.
I hope you fall in love with someone who appreciates you and what you bring to the table.
I hope you fall in love with not just anyone, but someone who doesn't dim your light and makes your sparkle shine.
And most importantly,
I hope you fall in love with someone who treats you the way you deserve to be treated.
Her Magic Still Lingers
By: Samantha Jean Tate
Her magic still lingers
In his heart.
Her spells still linger
In his chest
Like butterflies.
Her whimsy still fascinates
Him and perplexes
Him.
Her laughter rings through
His ears.
He's still in love with her.
Her sorcery and all.
The Way He Calls Me Babe
By: Samantha Jean Tate
The way he calls me babe
Makes me feel like
Everything will be all right.
Like sunshine and a rainbow
After a thunderstorm.
The way he calls me babe
Makes me feel like
He cares.
I swear he cares.
Like a pup waiting by the door.
The way he calls me babe
I just adore it.
But I am forever his babe
And nothing more.
Fated
By: Samantha Jean Tate
Meeting you was fate
Our stars finally aligned
Your eyes twinkled with your flirty smile
When you came up to me and said
"Hello".
From that first hello,
We are inseparable.
You listen to my fears.
You kiss my forehead and reassure me
That everything is going to be alright.
From your quirky jokes,
To the sound of your deep voice,
The warmth of your hugs,
I feel at peace.
I feel safe.
You're my hype man
My number one fan
You encourage me to unbind myself
From hurtful narratives
And things that left scars
You tell me "You've got this!"
With a thumbs up
When I walk out the door.
This meeting was fate.
It was written in the stars.
A cosmic love
A divine soulmate life partner
I'm the luckiest woman in the world
And now this fated meeting is everything.
