12+07, 1+2+7 is ten is 1+0— that’s one, by numerology:a beginning, a startThe decisive start to honour the “hello”s on a pageFirst received 10+7, on an eight— infinity turned upright, Should that have been a sign? A sign we’d be blessed to acknowledge the other 7 before it, 7+1+9, the day we met,Wandering enamoured 7…

Promised
It was following the darknessYou held my hand and told meLife without would be cancerous,Insisted this soul tie was needed.It was the time in the showerWhen you said, “wife”Cleansing uncertainties of the pastConsummating new futures.It was the times you risked everything elseBut made clear I was worth the sacrificesAsked me to stand aside my principlesWhile…

a love chronicling [micropoem]
[[July 11]]] On now stained bedsheets where he laid me down to sleep,I did die, though my soul he refused to keep:Understanding that love is free,He reciprocated what was given back into me, And we continue in our ways Loving as promised into “forever” days.
“This is a forever thing – just so you know” [poem-thing]
I was so young and excited to be free!I asked if you would appreciate my flightAnd not tie a string to me:“I’m more like a bird, not like a kite.” You laughed and kissed me dearlyAnd said, as you pulled me in close,“My love, I love that you love to flyBut, this is a forever…
