“Where Love Cleanses Deeply”
Just like ice-cold water traveling through your digestive system, refreshing everything it touches… and just like the wind beaming through a full-bloom flower, howling in harmony with the birds… the sun dancing on the water’s surface, shining over the coral reef… how can life be so neat? A love that presses in like steeping tea, yet remains so sweet. His love is so tender, it makes me want to surrender — giving all I have, sacrificing daily, because He gave His last exhale. Obeying His voice may be a choice, but believe me when I say: Every time I do, Heaven and I rejoice. I walk through the swamp, swarmed with muck, knee-deep — but the deeper I step into the horizon, the cleaner I become. I release all that once held onto me, baptized in His luminescence. And I can’t help but count my blessings, learning from the past so the future can truly last.
“Dear Future Lover: A Letter From the Woman Becoming Whole"
Dear Future Lover, The woman you discover once wore a heavy cover — locked, kept, and collecting dust. I rejected the very hands that tried to hold me. My cover was demolished, bruised, torn, and worn from years of hiding. I tucked myself away so the pages of my life would stay safe. Some pages looked blank because I was too afraid to pick up the ink. The sharpness of my edges came from the bitterness of the world. I was scared to let people in, so I’d cut them off before they could read me. My back description was all most people ever got — a small insight, nothing more. I stayed skeptical of what anyone might find. Hidden motives, storms of doubt, and winds of fear kept me closed tightly… Afraid of a gentle touch. Afraid of being known. But then, you. Bruised, hidden, and guarded, I still felt a warmth reach through my cover as you slowly pried it open. Reading my description didn’t make you run — it made you lean closer. You weren’t scared… you were intrigued. Curious. Willing. You picked up the ink and began writing a story for you and me. From under the shelf, forgotten and dusty, you placed me inside a glass case — protected, valued, seen. Dear future lover, I’m ready now. Ready to embrace the delicacy of you with me. Help me sleep easy. Help me shine brighter than ever before. This brown cover has become her leather — soft yet strong, weathered yet beautiful. Sewn together just right to keep my pages safe when you’re not home at night. And I’ll wait patiently for the next story you choose to write — the one that ends happily with you and I.
"Dancing in the rain"
The sound of thunder—soothing, yet treacherous. The cold windowpane blurs my vision, making me want to step outside. Raindrops fall onto the earth, traveling through the cracks, bringing life to where it lacks. A breeze so cold, you'd think I was freezing— like Jack. But this time, I will come back. Swiftly. Moving my hips, drenched with joy. Droplets of water run down my face, but they are not my own. They trace the structure of my cheeks, cultivating every curve, until suddenly— a smile. A ray of light breaks through, creating joy everywhere I go. Some may say I'm making noise, but I deploy, then rejoice. And say, “It’s the Lord taking back my strength.” Strike one: Lightning—fast, quick, and bright. Call her John-Cena, because you won’t see me coming, but I leave a mark— engraving my presence. Strike two: Boom. Thunder roars, bold and loud. As I speak, the meekness in me rises. I look up— a cloud as high as the moon, chaotic, dark, and gloomy. Small but mighty, it hangs alone. Many are higher. Many are low. But this cloud— she knows. The sky: light blue. But sometimes, I am blue. While other clouds shine pure white, they gather together— tighter, in a bind. Sometimes I feel left behind. But as I describe this little cloud, I remember— she doesn’t know that her isolation is really preparation. Scars, fears, troubles— they’ll one day fill a field with green pastures, wildflowers, and many living things. Oh little cloud, stay strong. Hold. Remain indifferent. Continue to rain while others hide and complain. I will be with you— dancing in the rain, enjoying your beauty— because I, too, know your pain. But I don’t despise it. I love you for it. I adore you. And I wait for the day you come back, so I can dance again— with joy in the rain.
"To whom I love"
Gazing into her big brown eyes, like honey glazing on the sunrise, filled with love — the longer I stare, I fall into her pupil vortex. Discovering her flaws, and still I love them all, like a ring overcoming fall. Her heart beats and blooms, bringing life, shining through the garden. Truffle butter skin, smooth, sweet, cozy — where have you been? Smiling so bright as you take on each fight, letting nothing dim your light. Presence is known to all who are shown. Voice that harmonizes, a mind that memorizes. Face to face I began to realize: the woman I cherish, prize in God’s eyes. Sophisticated to others, but in mine, a needle in a haystack, standing out from the crowd, tall and firm, with your shoulders back. Walk so swift they probably think you tailored it. A mind so big even Frankenstein wants to experiment it. Short but mighty — oh, she feisty. Stubborn but focused, determined with purpose. The standards and values she holds are priceless, because to obtain them I had to open my eyes to whom I love, I began to recognize. She was always by my side. She’s there when I cry, comforting me through the cold nights. Tells me I’m beautiful when anxiety and envy pry, taking captive of my confidence, the power of “Who am I?” What a thief that strives to kill that little fearless girl inside — Daddy’s apple of an eye, Mom’s precious jewel. To whom I love I now recognize. Catching me when I fall, reassuring me to try when I fail, never wanting to bail, but always staying by my side. How could I forget to whom I love I have now known? Tell her: I love you. Strong and beautiful, courageous and weird — it’s time I love you. Body curvy like a Coke bottle, I don’t want our love to ever waddle. To whom I love is the girl in the mirror, promise not to fail, and always steer you clear. Put you first — it’s about time, dear. For you are my secret keeper, who knows all parts of me, even the ones I hide from the world. Scared of their rejection, but neglecting the one who is destined instead — the one who always loves, mistakes and all. I put you above. To whom I love is the woman whose eyes are open, the one God has claimed and chosen. I love you now and forever.
