“I may not always love you”

2015
The Beach Boys played at 3pm
on your birthday; while I was
sitting at Veritas writing;
Veritas
the grad house named
from the Latin truth
uniformed by black
shirts with gold writing
in vino veritas
there is truth in wine
like the night after Vinny’s
my drunken confessions
about happiness with you
or the date over blues fest
all the laughter; the kisses
when you look for us
I hope that you look here
In the truths beneath the wine
In the moments brought by the
silencing of our fears and insecurities
When you look for us, look here
Wow
This hit me like a wave when I wasn't looking. I have to be honest and say that I am envious of this, I wish that I had of been able to write this way and say those words. You are so refreshing and so amazing. I hope someday we can share a bottle of wine and maybe write together. How awesome would that be??

I have bene feeling defeated as a writer these days, really being hard on myself for not being able to get the words out, and back-lashing on old poems that just don't live up to my new standards! I needed these words so much right now! Thank you my love!
I often feel you are that poet for me, I read your work and say "I wish I could write like that" .... so you are that poem, maybe not for yourself or in your own perception of your poetry, you are tht poet for others!
AND OMG YES! That would be amazing! we have got to make that happen! It would be so fun to hang out and write poetry together!
<3 thank you for showing me another way to view my own words! I need that so bad today!
Much Love
