Loveless

 In shadows cast by scarcity's embrace,

The hearts of the less fortunate, a sacred space.

Yet love's ember flickers, undeterred by plight,

For it knows not boundaries, nor day nor night.

In humble homes where hardships reside,

Hope and connection forever do abide.

Though struggles may cloud their sunlit skies,

Love's beacon within them steadfastly lies.

From threadbare cloth to dreams so grand,

Two souls find solace, hand in hand.

For love, unbound by material decree,

Blooms in hearts yearning to be free.

Through trials and tribulations they wade,

Their bond an anchor, never to fade.

For love's pure essence, profound and deep,

In every heart, its secrets keep.

Economic bounds do not define,

The fervent love that intertwines.

In whispered words and tender touch,

Love's magic flourishes, oh so much.

So let us cast away this notion untrue,

That poverty can love's dreams subdue.

For in the hearts of all who seek,

Love finds a way, its truth to speak.

No money, no honey

 My Dearest Tate,

I hope this letter finds you in good health and spirits. As I sit here in Kenya, my thoughts often wander back to the times we shared, and I realize how much I've learned since then. Life has taught me that the barriers of poverty and poker-faced people can indeed cloud our paths to finding love and happiness.

Living through humble circumstances has shown me the struggles that can overshadow the pursuit of love. And as for those who hide their emotions behind poker faces, I've come to understand that opening one's heart requires vulnerability and authenticity, traits that aren't always easy to express.

Yet, despite these challenges, I find solace in the belief that all things shall come to pass by the mercies of God. We must hold onto hope and continue to strive for the love and connection we seek, knowing that our efforts and faith will ultimately guide us toward brighter days.

I hope this letter reaches you well, and I send my warmest regards across the distance that separates us. May your journey be filled with love, joy, and the blessings of a future that surpasses our current struggles.

Yours sincerely,

Baba Janire.

 In a world adorned with stardust’s grace,

I found an angel, my heart’s embrace.

In your arms, all worries cease.

When life’s storms rage, you calm my soul,

With you, I’m complete and whole.

Your presence soothes my every fear,

With you, I find solace near.

A love so deep, beyond compare.

Tate, my love, you are my peace,

With you, life’s challenges decrease.

Hand in hand, we’ll face each day,

In your love, I’ll always stay.

Doubt

 Tate, my love, a confession I bear,

Inadequacy gnaws at me, I fear.

You shine so bright, an angel so rare,

I wonder if I’m worthy to share.

Your love, a gift, I can’t comprehend,

I see my flaws, and they won’t amend.

In your presence, I feel so small,

Afraid that I might let you down, enthrall.

Your kindness and grace, a beacon of light,

While I stumble in shadows, full of plight.

I question if I’m enough for you,

As doubts and insecurities brew.

Yet, you love me, flaws and all,

In your heart, I find a haven’s call.

With you, I feel safe, understood,

In your love, I find all that is good.

Tate, my love, you see me clear,

Through every doubt, you draw me near.

You deserve the world, it’s true,

But with all my heart, I vow to be true.

I may feel unworthy, deep inside,

But by your side, I’ll stand with pride.

For in your love, I’m learning to see,

That you chose me, 

and that’s all I need to be.

Tying the knot

 My beloved Tate, with each passing day,

My love for you grows in every way.

I yearn for the moment, so divine,

To call you mine, forever entwined.

I can’t wait to make you my wife,

To cherish you for all of life.

In your arms, I find my home,

A love so pure, forever to roam.

You’ll be the mother of our dreams,

Guiding our children, so it seems.

With you by my side, we’ll build a nest,

A family bound, forever blessed.

Your love, a beacon, shines so bright,

I’m grateful for you, day and night.

Together, we’ll create a life anew,

With joy and love that’s boundless and true.

The thought of our future fills me with glee,

To walk hand in hand, just you and me.

You’re the one I’ve been waiting for,

Together, our hearts will soar.

Tate, my love, you complete my soul,

With you, my heart is finally whole.

I can’t wait for the day, my dear,

To wive you and hold you near.

My one and only

 My dear Tate, you’re the only one,

In my heart, the moon and sun.

No other girl could take your place,

Your love, a treasured, rare embrace.

Your laughter dances like spring rain,

Your smile, a light that can’t be feigned.

Your kindness warms my very soul,

With you, my love, I am made whole.

Through highs and lows, you’re by my side,

In your love’s arms, I find my pride.

You’re the melody to every rhyme,

A symphony, our hearts entwined.

No other love could compare to thee,

You are my world, my destiny.

In your eyes, I see my home,

Wherever we are, I’m never alone.

Tate, you hold the key to my heart,

From your love, I’ll never depart.

You’re the only girl, my precious one,

Together, our journey has just begun.

Njoo nyumbani mama

 My love, I wonder with each passing day,

When will you return, and light my way?

The heartache lingers, and I yearn for you,

To ease this pain, our love so true.

In dreams, I see you, beside me near,

Your touch erases every fear.

But waking hours bring a void, so wide,

As I count the moments until you’re by my side.

Time stretches on, as I ache for your embrace,

Hoping to see your tender face.

When will you come home, my dear Tate?

To mend this heartache that won’t abate?

Your presence, a comfort, a soothing breeze,

Together, we conquer life’s unease.

Your laughter, like music, lifts me high,

And I long for the day when you’ll draw nigh.

Though distance keeps us worlds apart,

I hold on to hope in my heart.

For in our love’s bond, I find my strength,

To endure this wait, no matter the length.

Come home to me, my love, my dove,

Let’s mend these hearts, with a love so pure.

Ease this heartache, make it fade away,

Together, we’ll brighten each passing day.

Worn out

 My dearest Tate, I’m worn and tired,

Longing for your love, so deeply admired.

Each passing day, your absence weighs,

In shadows cast, my heart obeys.

Amidst the toil of work’s demanding grind,

My thoughts drift to you, a tranquil find.

Your presence, a beacon in the storm,

A refuge, where my heart is kept warm.

The days drag on, the nights stretch long,

As I yearn for your touch, to keep me strong.

Your gentle words, a balm to my soul,

In your embrace, I find my console.

But distance persists, a cruel divide,

And loneliness I cannot hide.

Yet, I’ll persevere, hold on to hope,

In your love’s haven, I’ll learn to cope.

For you are the light that guides my way,

A constant presence through the disarray.

With you, I find the strength to stand,

To navigate life’s rough, shifting sand.

Though work weighs heavy, I’ll push through,

Your memory, a cherished respite, it’s true.

Together, we’ll weather every storm,

And in our love’s embrace, be reborn.

Tate, my love, I miss you so,

In this world’s chaos, you make me whole.

I’ll keep holding on, no matter the weather,

For we’ll find peace again, together.

Melancholy

 Dearest Tate, today’s light was dim,

A heavy sadness, I can’t begin to skim.

A cloud of sorrow engulfed my soul,

Its origins elusive, I can’t control.

The hours crept by, laden with gray,

A somber melody played throughout the day.

Emotions swirling, a storm inside,

I seek solace, in you, I confide.

Inexplicable sadness shrouds my core,

A weight I carry, yearning for more.

Perhaps it’s the distance that keeps us apart,

Leaving an ache, a void in my heart.

Your absence intensifies this sorrow,

A void filled only when we’ll meet tomorrow.

But until then, I’m left here to bear,

This heaviness, this weight I wear.

With every thought, I’m drawn to you,

Hoping you feel my feelings too.

For in your love, I find the strength,

To navigate this day’s dark length.

Tate, my love, I long for your embrace,

To see the joy return to my face.

For in your arms, the sadness subsides,

In your presence, my heart confides.

Until the day we’re side by side,

I’ll cherish you, my love, with every stride.

Together, we’ll conquer this mysterious pain,

And in our love’s embrace, find peace again.

Fate

 In the cosmos of my heart, you shine bright,

A guiding star in every darkened night.

With each breath, I long for your tender touch,

A yearning soul, I miss you oh so much.

Time stands still when we’re entwined as one,

Our souls dance, eclipsing the setting sun.

I cherish memories of your laughter’s grace,

A symphony of joy, your smile’s embrace.

Though miles apart, our love remains untamed,

Bound by fate’s thread, our spirits are inflamed.

I dream of holding you, our hearts in sync,

No distance can deter our love’s unique link.

Your absence leaves a void that words can’t mend,

I count the days, my dear, until we blend.

With every sunrise, I wait for you near,

The dawn of reunion, sweet and clear.

Tate, you are the missing piece I crave,

The love we share, an ocean we both brave.

In every moment, my soul seeks your gaze,

For in your eyes, my love, eternal praise.

Until our paths align, I’ll pen these lines,

A love song true, forever intertwined.

I miss you dearly, my heart’s true mate,

Together, we’ll conquer any fate.

Fear

 In the depths of my heart, a fear does reside,

The thought of losing her, I cannot hide.

For she’s the anchor that steadies my sail,

Without her, I fear I’ll drift and fail.

Her love, a beacon that guides me through,

In her presence, my worries subdue.

But the thought of her absence chills my soul,

A void so vast, it consumes me whole.

I fear not having her by my side,

The thought of it all, I can’t abide.

Her laughter, her warmth, her tender touch,

Losing her would hurt so much.

She’s the light in the darkness, my guiding star,

Without her, life feels so bizarre.

The thought of her gone, it cuts so deep,

An ache in my heart, I cannot keep.

I cherish every moment we’ve shared,

In her love and care, I’m repaired.

But the fear remains, a haunting dread,

Of a future without her, my heart is fed.

So, I’ll hold her close, cherish each day,

In her love, my fears allay.

I’ll treasure every smile, every kiss,

For with her, life feels like pure bliss.

And if the day comes when she’s not near,

I’ll cherish the memories we hold dear.

For her love, a gift, I’ll always keep,

In my heart, forever, her love will leap.

Thank heaven

 In your absence, I long for your smile,

Yearning for the days we laughed for a while.

Though you were bossy and sometimes cranky too,

Your presence was a gift, and I miss all of you.

Your bossiness, a charm that I hold dear,

A gentle push when I felt doubt and fear.

Your cranky self, a sign of passion deep,

A fire that burned bright, a secret to keep.

In moments shared, your touch brought peace,

And even your crankiness had its release.

For in your imperfections, you were real,

A love that’s genuine, I now keenly feel.

I miss those days, both bright and gray,

When you were here, and close you’d stay.

The joy you brought, the warmth you gave,

A treasure I’d keep, a memory to save.

The days feel empty without your voice,

With each passing moment, I have no choice.

But to embrace the void, to bear the pain,

And hope that soon we’ll meet again.

So, my love, I miss your bossy ways,

And even the cranky times, my heart displays.

For in those moments, I knew you were true,

And I’ll hold onto them until I’m with you.

To the heavens above, my gratitude soars,

For the blessing you brought, I forever adore.

In her presence, life’s colors brightly shine,

A love so divine, so pure, so fine.

I hope life treats her with gentle grace,

With each passing day, a warm embrace.

May joy and laughter fill her heart,

And troubles dissolve, like shadows depart.

I pray she wears a smile, as bright as the sun,

With laughter that echoes, like rivers run.

May happiness surround her, like a gentle breeze,

And troubles drift away, on calming seas.

I thank the heavens for her, each night and day,

For the love she gives in her own special way.

Her bossiness and crankiness, I hold close,

They are the essence of the love that arose.

I long to see her smile, to hear her laugh,

To feel her presence, our spirits to engraft.

Until that day, I’ll cherish the memories we’ve made,

In my heart, her love will never fade.

So, to the heavens, my gratitude I send,

For the love and joy, in her, I’ve found a friend.

I hope life treats her kindly, with love and care,

And that she knows I’ll always be there.

Hard knocks

 Life’s relentless waves crash over me,

Each blow knocking me down, I can’t break free.

With every step forward, it seems to assail,

As if fate’s cruel hand is destined to prevail.

I rise again, determined to stand tall,

Yet circumstances conspire to make me fall.

In the face of adversity, I fight and strive,

But it feels like the odds are never on my side.

Each stumble, each fall, chips away at my soul,

I’m losing sight of the person I used to know.

Tears stain my cheeks, heart heavy with pain,

As life’s unyielding force seems hard to restrain.

Dreams and aspirations, they start to fade,

Lost in the battles that I’ve bravely braved.

Yet buried beneath the struggles and strife,

There’s a glimmer of hope, a flicker of life.

For even when life keeps knocking me down,

I rise with strength from deep within the ground.

With every setback, I learn and grow,

Resilience and courage, they start to show.

In the darkness, I find a guiding light,

Leading me forward through the long night.

Though life’s punches hurt, and my spirit may bend,

I’ll never surrender; my strength won’t end.

So, I rise once more, against the gale,

Determined to overcome, to prevail.

Though life keeps knocking me down, you see,

I’ll ris

e again, for hope resides in me.

De-stance

My dear Tate, afar you roam,

A void within my heart has grown.

Like a ship adrift, I’m lost, alone,

With each passing day, my world is sown.

The sun may rise, the moon may fall,

But without you, I stumble, I crawl.

Your absence haunts my every dream,

Life’s colors fade, a muted gleam.

The laughter that we used to share,

Echoes faintly in the empty air.

The gentle touch, the warmth of your gaze,

Now mere memories, a bittersweet haze.

In every whisper of the breeze,

I yearn for you, my soul’s unease.

Each night, I count the stars above,

Hoping they’ll guide you back, my love.

The days are long, the nights are cold,

In this shattered world, my heart’s been sold.

Yet hope persists, a flickering light,

That you’ll return, to make things right.

Through distance vast, our love still gleams,

Brighter than the sun’s golden beams.

With every beat, my heart it swells,

For you, my love, in you it dwells.

So, Tate, my love, this message send,

Across the miles, my heart’s amend.

Though life’s been hard, I’ll patiently wait,

For you, my love, to end this state.

Lost

 In this vast and endless sea,

Lost I am, no compass to guide me.

The waves of life crash all around,

Leaving me bewildered, yet unbound.

A rudderless ship, adrift and tossed,

I wander through the fog, feeling lost.

Every path seems shrouded in haze,

No clear direction, no guiding rays.

The stars above, once a map so bright,

Now seem dimmed by the endless night.

The constellations, a tangled maze,

As I stumble on through life’s maze.

Decisions loom like stormy skies,

I’m paralyzed by my own cries.

Every step feels like a leap of faith,

Yet I fear the consequences beneath.

Confusion reigns, and doubt persists,

I search for answers, yet they resist.

A compass broken, my mind’s in knots,

As I wander aimlessly, with troubled thoughts.

Oh, to find a beacon, a guiding light,

To lead me through this endless night.

To find my way, to know what’s true,

To rediscover the path to pursue.

But in this turmoil, I still believe,

That within this chaos, hope will cleave.

For in the darkest depths I find,

Strength to heal, and peace of mind.

So, though I feel lost in the fray,

I’ll navigate this disarray.

And in the journey, I may find,

My purpose, my heart, my peace entwined.

Girl of and in my dreams

In dreams adorned by starlit skies,

A vision formed, to my surprise,

A love untamed, forever gleams,

Your touch, a symphony of grace,

I ache to feel, to see your face.

The moments shared, they dance and sway,

Like stars that guide us on our way.

With every beat, my heart declares,

To hold you close, my soul prepares.

So let the days turn into night,

For soon, my love, you'll be in sight.

I'll hold you tight, our love reborn,

In each other's arms, we're forever sworn.

For you, my love, make me replete.

A love so fierce, like roaring tides,

A nurturing soul that never hides.

In every glance, I catch a glimpse,

Of the future that awaits, immense.

Through vast expanse, where oceans meet,

Across the miles, our love’s retreat.

Tate, my darling, until we reunite,

Know you’re cherished, in both day and night.

Across the time zones, our spirits align,

Bound by a love that continues to shine.

With every sunrise and starlit view,

I hold you close, my love, across oceans blue.

Until the day when distance dissolves,

Know that my heart, for you, forever evolves.

Beloved distance

In Kenya’s embrace, I find solace true,

But oh, my Tate, how I long for you.

Distance may separate our physical touch,

But love’s flame burns strong, it means so much.

Through the miles that stretch, both far and wide,

Our love transcends, standing side by side.

With every beat of my longing heart,

I carry your love, never to depart.

Though oceans may roar and mountains may rise,

My devotion for you never dies.

In dreams and whispers, we’re forever entwined,

Beloved distance, a testament to love defined.

Stars and serenades

Oh, Tate, my love, though worlds away,

In Kenya’s night sky, my heart will sway.

Beneath the stars’ celestial dance,

I send serenades, a longing glance.

Each twinkling light that adorns the night,

Carries my love, shining so bright.

Through time and space, our love endures,

A bond so deep, forever pure.

With melodies whispered by the wind,

Our souls entwined, forever twinned.

With every beat, our love grows strong,

Defying distance, where we belong.

In Kenya’s embrace, or in America’s grace,

Our love prevails, an everlasting embrace.

Yearning for Tate

 Dear Tate,

I hope this note finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to express just how much your presence means to me and how deeply your absence affects my days. Whenever you're not around, it feels as if a vital part of me is missing, leaving a void that cannot be filled.

Each day that goes by without you feels empty, like a colorless canvas waiting to be painted with your vibrant hues. Your laughter, your smile, and your unique way of seeing the world bring an irreplaceable light into my life. It is in your company that I find solace, inspiration, and a sense of purpose.

You are the heartbeat that gives rhythm to my days, the melody that lifts my spirits, and the warmth that fills my soul. Your mere presence has the power to transform the ordinary into something extraordinary, and without you, my world feels dull and lifeless.

In your absence, I find myself yearning for the sound of your voice, the touch of your hand, and the comfort of your embrace. The mundane tasks and activities lose their appeal without your enchanting energy, and the hours drag on, seemingly endless.

I long for the moments we share, the laughter we create, and the memories we build together. Your presence breathes life into every second, making even the simplest of moments feel significant and cherished. With you, even the quietest and most uneventful days become extraordinary adventures.

Tate, you are the missing puzzle piece that completes the picture of my life. I need you in all my days, for it is in your company that I truly come alive. Your absence leaves me longing for the magic and joy that you effortlessly bring into my world.

Please know that my heart yearns for the day when our paths will intertwine once more, and our days will be filled with shared laughter, meaningful conversations, and unforgettable experiences. Until then, I carry the memories of our time together in my heart, eagerly awaiting the moment when I can once again feel the warmth of your presence.

With all my love,

Ben. ( Your idiot)

Understanding.

In the depths of my heart, there's a love so profound,

A devotion that blossoms, with you I have found.

Tate, my love, my future wife, you're a treasure untold,

A radiant spirit with a heart of pure gold.

Oh, how amazing you are, my beloved Tate,

Your grace and beauty, no words can relate.

With each passing day, your light shines so bright,

Guiding me through darkness, bringing hope to my sight.

Sometimes, my dear, we stumble and fall,

Misunderstandings arise, causing walls to install.

But in those moments, my love, we must remember true,

That our bond is unbreakable, our love remains true.

I may not comprehend every thought in your mind,

But I'll listen and learn, for you, I'm inclined.

For our souls intertwine, despite the gaps we may face,

I'll strive to understand you, with love as my base.

For you, my dear Tate, I hold an enduring flame,

A flame that burns brightly, with no hint of shame.

I care for you deeply, with a love that transcends,

Beyond time and distance, my heart never wavers or bends.

Your worth is immeasurable, beyond compare,

I value you, Tate, more than words can declare.

In your presence, my world finds solace and peace,

You're the missing piece, making my life complete.

So here's to us, my love, through the highs and the lows,

Through the laughter and tears, as our love steadily grows.

No matter the challenges we may face in this life,

I'll always choose you, Tate, as my partner, my wife.

In your love, I find strength, hope, and delight,

You're the beacon that guides me, my guiding light.

Together we'll conquer all obstacles we find,

With love as our compass, forever entwined.

So, my dear Tate, know this without a doubt,

You're cherished, adored, there's no room for drought.

In this journey we embark, side by side we will be,

Forever and always, my love, you and me.

Our love

 In your loving nature, a gentle embrace,

A heart overflowing with sweet kindness and grace.

Your motherly instincts, a gift from above,

Nurturing and caring with a boundless love.

Your touch, so tender, like a soothing balm,

Calming my soul with its soothing calm.

In your arms, I find solace and rest,

A sanctuary where my heart is truly blessed.

Your love, like a beacon, guides me home,

With you by my side, I’ll never be alone.

Your caring nature, a warm embrace,

Filling my world with joy and endless grace.

And as for our future, my love, I can see,

A vision of us, a family, you and me.

The thought of filling your womb with life,

Fills my heart with hope and joy so rife.

For together we’ll create a love so pure,

Nurturing and growing, our bond will endure.

I can’t wait to see our love come to bloom,

A testament to the magic within the womb.

But for now, my love, let’s cherish each day,

Embracing the love that comes our way.

With you, my darling, by my side,

I know our love will only continue to thrive.

Blessed

 In the tapestry of my heart, you’re woven,

A masterpiece of love, a treasure unspoken.

Your smile, a sunbeam that melts my soul,

In your arms, my world feels whole.

Your eyes, like galaxies, shimmering bright,

Guiding me through the darkest night.

Your touch, a gentle breeze on my skin,

Ignites a fire, a passion deep within.

Your laughter, a melody that sings to my ears,

Erasing all doubts, all worries, all fears.

In your presence, time loses its grip,

As our spirits entwine, in a celestial trip.

With every breath, I inhale your essence,

Intoxicated by your love, pure and intense.

You are the melody that dances in my veins,

The elixir that revitalizes, never wanes.

My love for you, a flame that forever glows,

A symphony of adoration that only grows.

In your embrace, I find my sanctuary,

For you, my darling, 

are my sweetest melody.

My letter

 My Dearest Tate,

As I sit here, pen in hand, I find myself at a loss for words to truly express the depth of my love for you. It’s as if the stars themselves have conspired to bring us together, igniting a flame within my heart that burns brighter with each passing day. You are the light that guides me, the melody that fills my soul, and the very essence of my being.

From the moment our eyes first met, I knew there was something extraordinary about you. Your smile, so captivating and genuine, reached deep into the core of my being, and I felt an instant connection that transcended time and space. It was in that moment that I realized you were the missing piece of my puzzle, the one who completes me in ways I never knew were possible.

Every day spent with you is a blessing, and I cherish each precious moment we share. Your presence brings warmth to even the coldest of days, and your laughter is a symphony that dances in my ears. In your arms, I find solace and security, and in your eyes, I see a future filled with endless possibilities.

You are my rock, my confidante, and my biggest supporter. Your unwavering faith in me gives me strength when I falter, and your belief in my dreams pushes me to reach for the stars. You bring out the best in me, encouraging me to grow, evolve, and become the person I’ve always aspired to be.

But it’s not just your unwavering support that captivates me; it’s the little things too. The way you laugh at my silly jokes, the way you hold my hand as we walk together, and the way your eyes light up when you talk about the things you love. These moments, however small, are etched into my heart, and I treasure them dearly.

You have taught me the true meaning of love, selflessness, and compassion. Your kindness knows no bounds, and your ability to love with all your heart inspires me to be a better person every day. In your presence, I feel safe, loved, and cherished. You are the home I never want to leave, the haven where my heart finds respite.

So, my love, let these words serve as a testament to the boundless adoration I have for you. You are my sun, my moon, and my stars, and I am eternally grateful for your love. Thank you for being the extraordinary woman that you are and for sharing your life with me.

Come back to me

 

In the realm of heartfelt whispers and tender dreams,

Where emotions dance on silken moonbeams, There resides a love story, pure and true, Between two souls, Tate, and the essence of you.

With every word spoken and every touch shared, A symphony of affection, beyond compare, Your presence, a balm to my restless soul, A tapestry of love that makes me whole.

Oh, Tate, how your absence weighs heavy on my chest, Like a moonless night longing for a luminous crest, Each passing day without you feels incomplete, As if my spirit lingers in a world incomplete.

In the depths of longing, my heart finds solace, For it knows our connection transcends any chalice, Distance may separate us for a fleeting while, But our love persists, an unwavering smile.

Through the windswept fields and starlit nights, I yearn for your touch, your warmth, your light, The melody of your laughter, like a sweet serenade, Filling my world, bringing serenity unafraid.

The memories we've woven, a delicate tapestry, Etched in the depths of my being so gracefully, The way your eyes sparkle, your gentle caress, These fragments of you, in my soul, they coalesce.

For in your presence, Tate, I find sanctuary, A haven of love that surpasses the ordinary, Your essence seeps into the very core of my being, A love so profound, it feels like I'm dreaming.

So, hear these words, carried on whispers divine, Across the vast expanse of space and time, My darling, know that you're missed more than words can say, In your arms, my love, is where I long to stay.

For you are the compass that guides me true, The heartbeat that makes each day anew, Tate, my love, my soul's eternal plea, Come back to me, for without you, I am not me.

I am sorry.

In your eyes, I see disappointment,

A flicker of pain, my heart's torment.

I stumble and falter, but with a love so true,

That even my imperfections can't undo.

I apologize for the mistakes I've made,

For the times I faltered, and lost my way.

But my love for you, it knows no end,

Like an eternal flame, it will always transcend.

In your grace, I find solace and peace,

A haven where my flaws find release.

Please forgive me, my love, for my shortcomings,

Know that my love for you keeps on humming.

No matter the errors, big or small,

My love for you will never fall.

For in your heart, I see forgiveness and trust,

And it's in your love, I find my truest crust.

Beyond measure.

 Love is a symphony of emotions, a dance of souls entwined. In my life, I am blessed with a girlfriend who goes above and beyond, painting vibrant hues on the canvas of our relationship. With every gesture, she fills my days with joy, and my heart overflows with gratitude. Today, I want to express my appreciation for the incredible woman who has captured my heart.

From the very beginning, she swept me off my feet with her kindness and compassion. She listens attentively, lending me her unwavering support through every triumph and trial. Her words of encouragement are like a gentle breeze, lifting me up when I feel lost. With her unwavering faith in my dreams, she empowers me to reach for the stars.

Her love is a tapestry of selflessness and generosity. She goes the extra mile to make me smile, surprising me with little gestures that melt my heart. Whether it's preparing my favorite meal or leaving sweet notes tucked away for me to find, she showers me with love in the simplest yet most profound ways. Her thoughtfulness knows no bounds, reminding me daily of how blessed I am to have her by my side.

In moments of doubt or despair, she becomes my guiding light. Her unwavering belief in me ignites a fire within my soul, inspiring me to overcome any obstacle. With her unwavering faith and gentle touch, she helps me see the beauty in life's challenges and encourages me to grow.

To my love, my guiding star,

You shine brighter than the sun afar.

With grace and love, you touch my soul,

Making me feel complete and whole.

Your kindness knows no limits or bounds,

In your presence, happiness abounds.

You go above and beyond, my dear,

Filling my days with laughter and cheer.

In your embrace, I find solace and peace,

A sanctuary where my worries cease.

Your love is a gift, so pure and true,

I'm grateful every day for the love we grew.

With you, I am blessed beyond measure,

Our love I'll forever treasure.

Today, I celebrate and express my heartfelt gratitude for the extraordinary woman who enriches my life. May our love continue to bloom, and may we forever cherish the bond we share.

What is love?

 To love is to share life together,

to build special plans just for two,

to work side by side,

and then smile with pride,

as one by one, dreams all come true.

To love is to help and encourage

with smiles and sincere words of praise,

to take time to share,

to listen and care

in tender, affectionate ways.

To love is to have someone special,

one on whom you can always depend

to be there through the years,

sharing laughter and tears,

as a partner, a lover, a friend.

To love is to make special memories

of moments you love to recall,

of all the good things

that sharing life brings.

Love is the greatest of all.

I've learned the full meaning

of sharing and caring

and having my dreams all come true;

I've learned the full meaning

of being in love

by being and loving with you.

Forever and always

 Forever and always. Forever and another day is how long I want to spend loving you.

If I thought for just one moment that this would be my last breath,

I'd tell you I'll love you forever, even beyond death.

If I thought for just one moment that your face would be the last I'd see,

I'd take a million pictures and save them just for me.

If I thought for just one moment that your voice would be the last I'd hear,

I'd listen attentively and promise not to shed a tear.

If I thought for just one moment that your touch would be the last I'd feel,

I'd embrace you and know that this has all been real.

If I thought for just one moment that my heart would beat its last beat,

I'd thank the Lord for allowing us to meet.

I am imperfect.

 I am not perfect. I can never be perfect. I am flawed. Deeply flawed. I am broken but I am a work in progress for I am healing myself and in turn, I am trying to heal those I have hurt. Mainly my woman. There are times I have made her fell less of a queen, loved her less, cares for her less than I should have. But in all those instances, she has remained the one thing I love and adore. If ever there shall come a time when she shall walk out the door, I shall not force issues. I sometimes don't know Where I have wronged her but I try and make amends for my wrongs.... All said and done. She is my love and my destiny. No one will ever love her like I will. Even with all my faults. 

Anyone can tell you they love you.

Anyone can flatter you and tell you you're beautiful.

Anyone can make you smile and happy.

Anyone can promise you the world

And the stars and the finest things of life.

But I don't want to be anyone; I want to be the one,

The one who makes you wake up smiling,

The one who makes you walk down the street knowing someone loves you,

The one to bring heaven on Earth for you,

The reason for your joy and happiness.

You are my love,

You are my friend, my lady,

And one day the mother of my children.

In you I have seen my future,

And in the glow of your eyes and your smile

I know that I found my soulmate.

I love you, baby.

My love.

 Oh the way this woman loves me 'Sometimes' I say sometimes because there are days when she makes me feel unloved and it is no fault of hers. I have not been the best of gentlemen in the past and our pasts always follow us wherever we are but we try our best even in living lives of penance that we right our wrongs as much as we can. 

You showed me love that's so true,

Gave me comfort to believe in you.

You stayed beside me and held my hand,

Taught me in hard times you're always there to understand.

To me you never gave up.

Even in pain, with me you always stuck.

In dark and in lonely times

You were there to show that your love shines.

You told me that with me nothing else matter.

With that, it made me feel so much better.

You endure pain only for me.

True love you made me see.

You told me that you'll stay forever.

I promise I'll always be with you and never say never.

I mean these words from the bottom of my heart.

I'll always love you even if we're apart.

Please hear these words that I meant so true.

I'll always be loving and thanking you.

When I am without her.

 Bill Withers wrote a song back in the day saying that there ain't no sunshine when she is gone, only darkness.... I resonate with the words in his song for I am at a place where I am lost when she is gone. I go nuts, nothing makes much sense whenever she isn't in my day, when I can't reach her or when she is mad at me for some hormonal reason....

When I am without her,

the sun doesn't shine as brightly.

When I am without her,

the clouds are dark and foreboding.

When I am without her,

the birds don't sing as sweetly.                       

When I am without her,

the walls close in on me.

When I am without her,

in the depths of my hell, whispering her name sustains me.

But when I am with her,

she lifts me up.

When I am with her,

I have the strength to move mountains.

When I am with her,

I can withstand anything.

When I am with her,

her smile warms my very soul.

When I am with her,

the angels sing her name.

When I am with her,

I fall in love all over again. 

For she is my queen, my lifeline, my saving grace. 

My vow renewed

 I’ll date you because I choose to. I will desire you with every dawn and I will desire you with every dusk. I will date you because you make me laugh, because despite your flaws and your temperaments, my heart feels safe within your hands. I will date you and I will pay no mind to the alternative, I will turn a blind eye to the people who stare because my gaze was made for your gaze. In this generation option creeps into relationships like a dangerous siren, but I will never be swayed by its song, for when I date you, I will date only you.

I will date you in a forgetful way. I wont be able to recall the time you were born, or your mothers middle name. I will forget mini anniversaries, I will forget appointments. However, I will never forget the way you looked when you told me you loved me for the first time. I will never forget the way you smell, the colour of the freckles in your eyes. I will always remember what makes your heart race, the moments of smaller magic that bang and clash against your ribcage when my head rests on your chest. I will immortalize you in my fingertips; I will never forget the way you make me feel.

I will date you outside of social media. I will hold your hand, I will kiss your soft mouth, I will be your biggest fan, and that will exist between you and I. Two people, unfiltered, completely unedited, simply loving each other without validation. I wont need a certain amount of likes to know that I admire you, I wont need a specific number of views to understand that I could watch you all day. Our relationship will be one that is incubated within the confines of our inside jokes, our humorous memories, our deep connection – it will never be subjected to a 4×4 square; it will never be two-dimensional.

You will not be my mcm, my wcw, or my bae. You will be my heart. You will be my home. I will not post my love for you on your Facebook wall, I will not take photos to prove to the world how much I adore the way your hair feels in the morning, or how you can never keep a straight face when you see someone fall. There will be no public evidence of our infatuation, but I will love you deeply in the most beautiful places. I will kiss you in your favourite bakery; I will brush your cheek with every tree that lines the most darling streets. We will create memories in the world, not for it. We will see our relationship dotted across the town like Christmas lights.

Most importantly, I will date you in the image of tenacity. I will endure for you, even when we fall on hard times, even when we struggle. I will not flee or abandon you when we disagree, I will not sleep within foreign arms when I feel hurt. I promise that when I date you, I will fight for you. I will fight for the beauty in which our hearts have felt, and though it will be difficult at times, like worthy things are, I will believe in you – I will believe in us....

Journey to love.

I don't know how it is, I don't know how it became, I don't know anything. At this point, all I know is that I am in love. I am in love with this woman... I could narrate and say that it is a fairy tale, that she is a perfect princess, that she is flawless and that ours is a match made in heaven and it is a happily ever after tale. But that would be a pen and paper tale. One that is not only a cliche for books but one that is false. 

The truth, the unvarnished truth is that she is perfectly imperfect. She is flawed. She has her faults and the best part of this is that I too am deeply flawed. Yes we disagree, yes we have our faults, but at the end of the day, we are in love with each others flaws. Because if we were any perfect than we are, we wouldn't fit. It is these perfect imperfections, that and the unconventional nature of our union that does the path to the journey to love. 

Many times we have heard and seen likenesses and ideas of what love is, I do not in any way claim to be the ultimate proof or ideal on what love is, but I believe my version, my faith, my truth is the best definition yet. The reason I say this is because despite being mired by family issues and personal biases, we have found a peace, a comfort, a contentment that is 

So fulfilling. This ladies and gentlemen is a blog that will document that journey every single day through tales and poems. My darling Tate. Consider this our shrine. This is ours. Unblemished by other works that had others in it. 

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where,I love you directly without problems or pride:I love you like this because I don’t know any other way to love,except in this form in which I am not nor are you,so close that your hand upon my chest is mine,so close that your eyes close with my dreams.
