Prose & Cons
serende me with your presence.
dried flowers for our dried-out love.
why am i covered in arrows and you're holding the bow?
my heart is paused.
burning love letters and scattering ashes.
caramelised anger.
honey laced kisses.
your love is warm like the sun.
i love myself unconditionally.
i found a home in my body.
our love is intricate.
my emotions are a paint palate.
a necklace of forget-me-nots
i've conspired against my negative thoughts.
idolized toxic love in books distorted love in my reality.
moss is growing over my memories of you.
lilac clouds and tangerine skies.
if my personality was a color.
bleeding roses of burgundy.
rose quartz in my pocket.
my first love was a book character.
this is where i want to be.
you were an easy read.
the aftertaste of happiness.
our book has a sequel, it's called..
i bought myself flowers.
i left you behind intentionally.
i found my forever person.
vibrancy enshrouds my aura.
how i feel fury.
can i spring clean my mind?
how much i love petrichor.
creativity bursts from the seams of the mind.
i want love, not lust.
soft piano notes for thoughts.
sunday morning traits.
negativity is returned to sender.
how do i make this choice?
new beginnings thrown on my floor.
the most romantic act is..
doe-eyes in your headlights.
i knew you loved me when...
i look at myself with awe.
sunsets painted over grey.
the delicate dance of healing.
a pivotal moment when learning to radically love myself was..
the distinct sound of letting go.

paper and glass hearts.

Paper and glass hearts, delicate and fragile,
A metaphor for love's vulnerability, so agile.
Crafted with care, with intricate design,
Symbols of affection, emotions intertwined.

The paper heart, easily torn and frayed,
Represents the tenderness love has conveyed.
Its delicate fibers hold whispered words,
The promises made, like fluttering birds.

But handle with caution, for it's easily creased,
This paper heart, yearning to be released.
It craves gentle touch and a tender embrace,
To protect it from life's harsh and tumultuous chase.

Then there's the glass heart, translucent and clear,
Reflecting love's brilliance, ever so sincere.
Yet fragile and brittle, it shatters with force,
Revealing the pain of love's remorse.

This glass heart, a prism of emotions, it holds,
Capturing the light, like stories yet untold.
But handle with care, for its beauty is frail,
For love, like glass, can sometimes fail.

Both paper and glass hearts bear love's weight,
Each with their own vulnerabilities to contemplate.
Yet their fragility imparts a precious grace,
Reminding us to cherish love's delicate embrace.

So let us handle these hearts with utmost care,
Knowing the vulnerability they each bear.
For in their fragility, love's strength resides,
Unfolding a tapestry where love forever abides.

Whether paper or glass, love's essence prevails,
Through the beauty and vulnerability it entails.
In paper and glass hearts, we find a reflection,
Of the profound impact of love's affection.
