On my birthday, I would like to repost a poem that I wrote two years ago. It was written after a very special event.

It’s a simple poem, from a deeply passionate heart.

one faith, one heart, one love
let lovers be dignified, satisfied, unified
not twisted, not compromised
one faith, one heart, one love

all fears in love,
all distorted illusions

though those who sway in wind
aren’t in love

i bathe in fire
i burn like phoenix
i fly with love in my feathers

the sparkle in his eyes,
my guiding light

the energy in his heart,
my resting place

we glow with truth and innocence
we glow with hope and promise

let lovers be dignified, satisfied, unified
not twisted, not compromised
one faith, one heart, one love
