a collection of poems by rhen for samu | 2022

october 21st just as the last leaves of autumn are starting to fall the soft touch of october breeze saying its hello learning about each other behind the tiny screen ideas overlapping, topics seemingly infinite earnestly hoping this doesn't finish anytime soon few minutes, hours, days, and months later, you and I stayed with conversations of nothing and everything at once feels like I know you more than anybody else ideas still overlap, now packaged with fondness only to find myself wanting you wouldn't go away

i'd like to walk around in your mind someday tell me all your dreams let me hear your thoughts what keeps you awake? what keeps you afloat? exchanges swirl free have we met before?

revisions I used to envision the future as a table for one collecting mugs on a tiny cupboard single toothbrush by the restroom maybe a cat purring beneath my feet ending on silent nights after tiring days as you arrived, now there are two shadows waking up to adorations of good mornings and lullabies one holding the other on lazy sundays gazing upon the billion of stars by the balcony ending nights with declaration of love on each other's skin if I am being honest, I'd like the version of my future with you in it

in this vast, vast universe 100 billion estimated galaxies 100 thousand million estimated stars in the milky way 4.95 billion estimated internet users 195 countries 12 months in a year 31 days of October and I found you in all that totality I really owe fate for this one

anytime, anything, anywhere to breakfasts on bed and fusion dinners to busy weekdays and idle weekends to morning kisses and late night cuddles I'll choose anytime to be with you to trivial thoughts and spirited visions to corny jokes that make no sense to profound sentiments on life and universe I'll chat about anything with you to glaring cities or tranquil mountains to the simplest lodges or fanciest locations to highs and lows, even rock-bottom I'll be fine anywhere with you anytime, anything, anywhere as long as it's with you as long as I am with you

(first) letter Incandescent, you make me shine like the brightest star loving me on good days and much harder on bad you've touched my soul without even touching me I may not be able to say these three words right now let my actions and letters speak for themselves yellow, yeast, yolk, yippity yoo hoo
