With Love, Forever

HER VOWS TO HIM

It was 2AM, on a cold night.

We were on the couch in your apartment with the fireplace lit,

Mainly because of my stubbornness, my refusal to close the windows and our issues with sleep.

We were writing, separately but together.

At that moment, my heart let out a breath and I knew you were my

husband.

You were my love. You were my last. You were my forever. You were my prayer

I remember waking up to you on your knees, praying.

For you. For me. For us.

I loved you then, probably before that and will long

after all this.

Soon you will look into my eyes. Through my veil, through these

tears.

Barely blinking.Struggling to believe I’m yours

because I still can't believe you're mine.

HIS VOWS TO HER

I was as surprised with myself as

you were, not that I had the intention

but that I actually asked you for an

eternity together.

I felt selfish seeking so much of you,

so much from you

but I also knew if not with you,

life would have no purpose.

Before you,

I feared commitment

I was afraid of giving of myself,

that no one could want someone like

me; someone with a past and flaws.

You changed

the way I view love,

you changed the way

I view myself

and the least I could do

is offer you my last name

as something you will never have to

share.

BEING

Written by Jade Novelist

My heart defaults between two

settings,

being alone

and being with you.

If not with you,

then I have no need for

companionship.

With Love, Forever

I KNEW I LOVED YOU Written by LxR

It was subtle,

It was a feeling that I kept ignoring it kept me up at night,

it kept me mesmerised by morning.

I didn't want to give it the time of day

but here you were, day after day, after my heart

You kept me dancing into your life.


“it was a feeling I kept ignoring

With Love, Forever

GENTLE


You said it first,

I simply repeated your words before

I knew what they meant.

It wasn't pressure,

it wasn't lust,

it was my way of telling my heart it's

okay to give you a chance.

You said it first,

you might think mine was a lie

but I knew some day, I would mean

it when I say “I love you too”.


“you said it first

THINGS HE DOESN’T KNOW

Written by LxR

This man doesn't even know that I'm

willing to fully commit to love after

such a long time, for him.

He doesn't know that I'm willing to

give him everything.

He doesn't even understand that

with him, my fears don't exist.


“i’m willing to give him everything

With Love, Forever

SIGNS


You and I are unexplored territory

and I tend to miss the signs.

I wonder where I can fit my love in

your heart.

I don’t want to come off as too much

and overwhelm,

I also don’t want to lack in love

and you seek to fill in the spaces I

wish to own with another.

You and I are unexplored territory,

so I tend to miss the signs.

I wonder how can I engrave my

name somewhere that matters.

I don’t want to chase you away

but I also wonder if I have enough

reasons to make you stay.

SOFT PLACES

Written by LxR

Laying in sunlight,

connecting with my maker.

My skin, my favourite feature,

his favourite part.

Visuals only a few will see,

only he will touch.

MUSINGS


You inspire me,

in little ways you help me see the big

picture,

in many ways you make me look

forward to new ways to love,

in all ways you energise my desire

for romance.

SAY LOVE

Written by LxR

Saying I love you to someone is a

powerful statement.

It says no matter what may happen,

I will always have your back,

I will always choose you.

No matter what challenges we may

face, I will always fight beside you.

Love is unconditional.

Never-ending.

Unchanging.

Unfading.

I love you is a powerful statement.


“a powerful statement

HIM

Written by LxR

I’m in love with his smile. His eye.

His laugh

I’m beginning to crave his touch on

my skin.

At times I can almost imagine his

lips on my skin.

STARLIGHTS AND HER THIGHS

Written by LxR

Starlights and her thighs.

Both a beauty I could never forget,

both bright, both magical.

I wish my fingers could paint art as

breathtaking.

As soft.

As fiery.

A home many would want, but only

I get.

In the nighttime,

she glows different.

In the night,

her skin vibrates with her songs.

Soft melodies. Subtle moves.


“a home many would want but only I get

With Love, Forever

COME BACK HOME


I called and you didn't pick up,

my mind raced

and the worst ran through my mind.

Would I ever know his name or what

he looked like,

would I know where you met or

how you felt?

I re-read our old texts hoping for a

sign on where you could be,

I interrogated your friends

wondering if they knew where you

went.

It had been hours and you weren't

home,

I struggled to multitask between

holding back tears

and looking for pictures to use on

missing person posters,

I needed you to come back home.

I need you where I could keep you

safe.


“I re-read our old texts

With Love, Forever

MY MISTAKES


When I make mistakes,

it doesn’t mean that I don’t love you,

it doesn’t mean you don’t matter

and you’re not a priority.

It just means I’m human and I’m still

learning.


“i’m still learning

MY PRAYERS

Written by LxR

Sometimes I just want to run my

hands across his chest and assure him

that he is enough.

He is enough.

His dreams will come true,

his emotions aren’t going to drown

him

His loves wants to be set free.


“sometimes I want to assure him that he is enough

With Love, Forever

FOREVER & ETERNITY


Why do you offer me forever,

the same forever you offered the

ones you thought would not stay?

The ones you half gave your heart,

the ones you anticipated would walk

away?

Do you not care for yourself enough

to believe you deserve genuine love?

Why do you offer me forever in a

whisper,

the same forever you can’t speak

proudly of?

The one that gave a voice to your

fear of letting another in,

the one that was only loud when

lovers parted your seas?

Why do you punish me and only

offer me forever,

when what I want is an eternity with

you?


“you offer me forever in a whisper

With Love, Forever

MARRY YOU

Written by LxR

Your heart lay next to mine

and I knew then I’d marry you.

I knew I'd give you sons,

I'd birth you queens.

I knew I would never leave you.

and you would never leave me.


“you would never leave me

With Love, Forever

FUGITIVE


When I think of you,

I often pinch myself.

It’s how I remind me

that you’re not a fugitive of my

imagination.

Someone like you is rare,

it’s wild but I fear my love for you.

I hope you’re not conjured up

and that your perfection exists not

because I’m blind to your flaws.


“you’re not a fugitive of my imagination

With Love, Forever

LOVE NET

Written by LxR

I remember the first time we fought.

There was a vivid hue of purple that

seemed to glow around you,

twisting from dark to light.

I remember it well,

I fought demons that tried to

convince me that I'm not good enough.

I fought feelings that you'd leave me,

for good most times.

I remember the fog that filled our

apartment when you left for some air.


“you would never leave me

With Love, Forever

LOVE BIBLE


You are intentional in the way you

show affection,

I never thought love could be both

involuntary and effortless,

you were never planned but I have

no regrets.

I look for the scriptures that

prophesy of you,

somewhere, somehow there must be

word of your magic

and how you’re real but imaginary

because I never imagined someone

could make me feel how you do.

You are intentional in the way you

show affection,

kind of like the sun on a rainy day,

you lay in wait while I cleanse

myself of bad teachings

but also you are also holy,

in the sense that you’re both a

mystery and necessary for my love’s

salvation.

I look for the scriptures that

prophesy of you,

somewhere, in some way you are the

prosperity that I am owed,

and the ark-less flood of the divine I

wish to drown in

because you sweep away the sinful

past I thought was love and make anew

something

even God looks proudly on.


“you are intentional in the way you love

HONEY LOVE

Written by LxR

I never thought I'd meet love this

way,

I mean,

really?

I met you when I was still wearing

the scars from my previous battles;

with love. with life. with lessons

I had fallen and scraped both knees,

so falling in love wasn't an option.

Life had bumped me too many times

to risk accidentally bumping into

someone.

So love came to me the only way I'd

never question

through art. through language.

through poetry

I met you in my favourite place,

lost in my words. lost in language.

lost in art

You slipped quietly into my life

and now you're teaching me love,

filling up my heart’s cup,

each

sweet

spoonful

at a time.

STAY WITH ME


Stay with me tonight,

Lay here where my vulnerability has

no need for pretence

and I’m still a man despite emotion.

Lay me here where words need not

be said

but my soul knows that it’s safe.

MORNINGS

Written by LxR

Mornings by your side are my

favourite

and not in the ways one would

think.

Like lying next to you while you're

answering emails in the early hours,

leaning on the counter while you

make coffee

or moving through the kitchen while

I prepare for work.

The times you'd chase me around all

wet from your shower,

leaning in for hugs and kisses.

Slow dances in our passage, to the

smooth sounds of Nina.

Beginning. Ending. Restarting our

days.

Next to each other.


”filling my heart’s cup

With Love, Forever

GET THROUGH THE NIGHT


I know there will be days where love

won’t be enough to sustain us,

you’ll want to leave

and I’ll run away to avoid having

the conversations in my head.

But I ask you stand by me and we’ll

get through the night,

we can do it silently,

unspoken communication or broken

love

or we can be loud

fighting over who wants this more.

We can do this with your shadows

holding my fears, until the darkness

fades and we get through the night

it doesn’t matter how, as long as we

get through the night.


“with your shadows holding my fears

With Love, Forever

F WORD

Written by LxR

I just want a fireplace to warm my

toes with candles burning in the

distance.

A man to cuddle with and just blow

kisses on his chest,

a man to drink wine with,

smoke a blunt with, eat some cake

with.

A man who will feed me,

who will love me,

who will fuck me.


”feed me

With Love, Forever

SELF-CARE


Lay down and explore your centre,

put your hands to use while I watch

you.

In my pursuit to love you,

teach me,

take your time.

Self-care,

is self-love

in self-touch.

Slow.

Slower.

I want to learn while I watch you.


“i want to learn while I watch you

DAILY CRAVINGS

Written by LxR

I crave wine dates and roses,

midnight kisses and booty rubs

Chocolate melting from your mouth

to mine,

honey trails down my neck creating

puddles

I crave your arms around me,

my thighs around your waist

Your head on my chest,

or maybe I’m just craving you.


”midnight kisses and booty rubs

With Love, Forever

AÏCHA


I never thought I could love another

more than I love you,

you became my love’s definition and

everything started and ended with you.

With my heart I vowed to never hold

affection for another,

but then she came from you and I

knew I spoke too soon.

Even though she is part made of me,

the best half is made of you.


“with my heart I vowed to never hold affection for another

With Love, Forever

WHO ARE YOU?

Written by LxR

I am Lisa.

Oath of God.

The letter God wrote for his people.

The oath He made when He created

the first man.

I am an experience.

I am a rarity.

I am once in a lifetime.

The armor of God is found in my

words.

My very hands bring promise.

My words are not easy, but they

serve.

They were built in my mouth to

serve God's name. To serve God's

people.

My words will bring God to your

table. To your life. They will bring you

to Him.

I am whole.

I am here to show you God inside

your heart. In your left lung. By your

right hand.

I am Lisa.

Oath of God.


”i am Lisa

SUN. MOON. STARS


You are the sun,

the moon

and the stars.

You are everything.

You are the reason the morning

scares me

and the dark of night brings me joy.

At first light you walk away and we

part for hours,

but as the night draws near you run

back to me and I’m whole again.


“you are everything

CRAVING

Written by LxR

Sometimes I crave your head

between my thighs,

not in ways that people would think

of.

But in ways where your head

would rest on my pot belly and I

would feel your breaths give life to the

garden in my soul

and with each breath you take I fall

deeper in love with you.

You know I fell in love with you

without any

warning, any questions.

I fell and the roses bloomed.

Even on days when you'd place

kisses across my forehead,

much to my irritation,

I was afraid to admit that the

sensation would cause my body to

tingle and crave your touch,

everywhere and in every way.

It's strange that flowers grow in the

most unlikely places,

places I'd convinced myself were too

dark,

too lonely,

and too foreign.


”i fell in love with you without warning

With Love, Forever

UNYIELDING


There is depth in “I want you”,

it’s how you disarm the defences of

a fragile heart.

There is magic in “I miss you”,

it’s how you let another’s soul know

it has a home.

There is power in “I love you”,

it’s how you let another lay claim to

the parts your hands can't reach.


“there is power in I love you

With Love, Forever

SKIN MELODIES

Written by LxR

His skin was liquid gold,

that shone.

With every move he made,

he lit up.

I began to crave a touch I'd never

felt,

I began to imagine the feeling of his

body between my legs.

Intertwined. Interlinked.

Interlocked.

I needed his scent on my skin.

On my thighs. On my lips. Oh I

needed him!

His tongue writes songs on my skin,

he blows melodies along my neck

pushing me to reach notes I'd never

imagined existed.

As he travels, singing songs of love

and war and peace.

He reached the crescendo of his

melody,

and I swear I could hear the earth

moving.

Waves crashing and my heart

stopping.

His music takes me places.

It makes me reach the highest

mountain, conquer the deepest valleys.

Our love is my favourite song


”our love is my favourite song

With Love, Forever

PRIVILEGE


I think about how your hands are

more than just instruments attached to

your body,

I have known of touch and lust but

never the magic you perform.

Every time our lips meet and our

skins exchange senses,

I whisper to the heavens in my heart

how blessed I am to partake of you.

I understand what it is

you give to me when you undress,

it’s more than sharing sweats or

tempering desires,

it’s a part that ties your soul to mine,

your blessings and your curses

and greater than any other

sometimes fix.

I want you in the worst way

and your heart belong to me

but your body is yours

and the only entitlement I have is to

the memories we make,

when we make love.


“i understand what it is you give to me when you undress

With Love, Forever

MÈRE D’AÏCHA


You conjured her in your prayers

before she knew the taste of air,

I know your love for her is genuine

because of the way you smile at the

kicks,

the way you place your hands on

her home when you think of what

matters most to you.

I look forward to many things in our

future,

the greatest being the woman you’ve

become

to mother her.


“you conjured her in your prayers

With Love, Forever

HARD TO LOVE


I can think of a dozen reasons why

we are still together,

and all of them start and end in

“you”.

I know how hard it is to love me,

even on my best days I can get too

much

and on my worst days I do too

much.

It’s hard to love someone who finds

solace in their scars,

who calls pain their every day

normal

and heartache is a pill they take at

the end of every relationship.


“i know how hard it is

With Love, Forever

BROKEN CLOCKS


I burnt it all,

now we have nothing but naked

wrists and empty walls.

I rid us of everything that

emphasises time,

nothing to make us feel fleeting,

nothing to remind us forever isn't as

long as they promise.

Just me and you,

stuck in this moment.


“just me and you, stuck in this moment

With Love, Forever

MUSINGS II


I want more,

I need more.

I want to be more for you,

more reason for you to want to live,

reason for you to want to better

yourself .

I need to be more,

more reason for you to smile,

reason for you to want to rush home.


“i want to be more. I need to be more

With Love, Forever

HEAL


You are made of your past,

built from broken promises

and unrequited love.

I can see you’ve been hurt before,

you don’t know what it means to be

seen as more than a future memory.

I want more for you than new

reasons to cry,

to see that commitment is possible

for those struggling to heal.

So I will love a little louder even

when you’re mad at me,

and wait as long as it takes so you

know my love isn’t only for when we’re

happy.


“i want more for you than new reasons to cry

With Love, Forever

MUSINGS III


My heart shakes when I think about

you,

I wonder if my love has impact on

you.

Do I inspire you to more than words,

more than sweet texts and the notion

of some day saying “I do”?

My heart breaks when I wonder if I

push you to more than thoughts,

do you see me as someone worth

being better for?

I pray I tempt you to often

reminisce,

to often mediate on the ways I excite

you

and form part of the reasons you

rush home.


“i wonder if my love has impact on you

With Love, Forever

OLOLUFE II


In the midst of the world's chaos I

found you,

in between my struggles and your

challenges our souls connected

We found serenity in the confines of

complexity

You see, my life is complex, yours

complicated

Simply put,

we weren't designed to make sense

but somehow we do

Somehow my broken pieces fit

where your cracks are,

and I accept your past as part of the

building blocks that make you whole.

You make me bare; naked in my

truths.

Somewhere in your pursuit, I learnt

to believe you,

I believe it when you say you want

me,

when you say a lifetime isn’t enough

and I believe you when you say

those three words

because you are multilingual,

you speak in words and actions

You are the medicine to my mind,

the food to my soul.

the temple for my fears.

and everything good the world has

to offer,

I find in you.


“you make me bare, naked in my truths

With Love, Forever

NOBODY


Nobody knows how I feel for you,

I could try put it into words

but there are only so many trees I

can sacrifice to write your love letter.

Nobody knows why I choose you,

they think we are a consequence of

young love,

little do they know you are the only

part of my destiny God and I agree on.

Nobody knows why I love you,

nothing in them can concur that I am

nothing without you

that only when I’m with you, do I

understand myself.


“nobody knows why I love you

With Love, Forever

STAY WITH ME THROUGH THE NIGHT


I know there will be days where love

won’t be enough to sustain us

but stay with me tonight,

lay here where my arms can reach.

Lay here where my vulnerability has

no need for pretence

and I’m still a man despite emotion.


lay here and hold me while I break.

you’ll want to leave

and I’ll want run away

to avoid having the conversations in

my head.

but stay with me.

Stay with me and we’ll get through

the night,

we can do it silently,

Lay me here where words need not

be said

but my soul knows that it’s safe.

PRESENT

Written by LxR

You are present in all the ways that

count.

Always strong enough for me on the

bad days.

No matter what direction I turn,

you're always there.

I know God lives in you,

I know God is because of you.

You're made up by the very fiber of

His being. His glory shines through

your eyes.

Our friendship is eternal.

Never-ending.

Unfading.

STEADY


When you're ready for love,

I want to be the one you love.

We can love in intervals,

work on trust and then intimacy.

You've never had someone stay long

enough for you to settle in,

it shows in the way you think

temporary pleasure is a decent

substitute for happiness.

We can work on teaching you what

commitment means,

even though you're stuck in your

ways and I’m still learning how to

make forever a possibility in your eyes.


With Love, Forever

LOVE VISIONS

Written by LxR

I knew you long before we met.

I knew the scent on your skin.

I knew the grooves on your palms,

the ones I’d trace while you held my

hand, watching your favourite

documentary on Sunday afternoons.

I could hear your laugh echo

through some of happiest moments.

I could feel your voice carry me out

of my loneliest times.

I swear I’d finally met you but

instead I’d stumble through temporary

lovers and illegitimate Kings.

My soul seemed to always lead me

to the nearest exit during those times,

but now my soul is at peace.

It has recognised royalty in its midst;

A man who I’d seen in my vision,

at my side,

bent on one knee,

heart in his hands.

A melody, in its purest form.

DANCE AGAIN


I’ve seen you before,

lurking in memories,

in a room full of empty promises.

Looking for love in places that held

on to pretend lovers

and you found comfort in your

loneliness

until I held out my hand and we

danced to a different tune.

Finally,

you found someone who moved at

your pace,

someone who steps matched his

words

and when you made mistakes I

learnt with you,

when you went the wrong way,

you knew I was waiting for you.

Patiently.

Lovingly.

Intentionally.


With Love, Forever

HARD TO LOVE II

Written by LxR & Jade Novelist

I can think of a dozen reasons why

we are still together, like cigarettes I'm

just trying to get my daily inhale.

Loving me is hard enough.

even on my best days I can get too

much

and on my worst days I do too

much.

It’s hard to love someone who is

friends with their scars,

companions with their pain.

and anticipates heartache before the

first memory is made.


With Love, Forever

MAKE BELIEF


I want to celebrate someone.

To be the reason for someone’s

smile,

to get them flowers to offer nectar to

their butterflies,

chocolates to sweeten their days

and to cook and feed them in

multiple ways..

To be the reason someone’s soul feels

complete

I want to celebrate love with

someone.

A calm yet peaceful love.

A love I never have to question.

A love where I give everything

knowing I'll get nothing less in return.


With Love, Forever

GIVE ME FOREVER


Would you give me your forever,

if I offered to trade my love for a

piece of your paradise?

Would you let me be your choice

even when better comes your way and

asks to trade last names?

Would your eyes seek mine out in a

crowd of thousands?

Would my voice echo through the

voices of many?

Tell me, would my love be the light

in your darkness?

These are all thoughts that surround

me on quiet nights,

on sunlit afternoons

on rainy days

on windy mornings

even on our busiest evenings.


With Love, Forever

FOREVER


I want forever,

I want this moment forever.

Let’s break all the clocks

and when you heart beats,

can it not sound like a tick.

Make time stand still.

I want forever,

this moment etched in my heart

and in my being.

So whoever sees me, sees our love

painted on my soul.

but you deserve more than someone

who knows of love in interludes

and pain on repeat.

— jade novelist


With Love, Forever

LEARNING

I didn’t know you could love

until I saw you love someone else.

It was then that I realised all

promises are kept,

but it’s not always to those they

were made.

— jade novelist


With Love, Forever

GONE

A lot of my actions were fuelled by

my fear of being replaced,

and now that it has happened,

I feel like I serve no purpose.

I try to move on but my heart holds

me back,

and love tastes different not only

when I say it

but also when my soul tries to

experience it.

Maybe it's too soon and all I do is

look for another you in the women I

chase,

maybe it’s too soon and I’m afraid to

admit

you took more than just my happy

memories when you went away.

— jade novelist


With Love, Forever

TRESPASSING

You’re living rent-less in my heart,

never paying sweet words or kind

gestures.

No good morning texts or I’m-in-

love-with-you sex,

I try so hard to be somebody you

could want.

while you work so hard to remind

me how easy you can relocate.

— jade novelist


With Love, Forever

IN LIKE

You can’t keep hurting me

and call it love;

because I can’t walk away

and not be selfish.

can we go back to when you were

you,

I was me

and we were just in like.

— jade novelist


With Love, Forever

QUEST

You’re not easy to love

I’m not easy to understand.

Why do we waste each other’s time,

pursing something so hard to attain?

— jade novelist


With Love, Forever

STOCKHOLM

I’m caught in your mystery,

the good and bad things you do.

The way your love hurts

and holds me hostage,

wanting more even when I know

there is better for me.

— jade novelist


With Love, Forever

LEARNING II

I didn’t know you could love

until I saw you love someone else.

Like a rumour spread wide, your

new found happiness runs through my

mind.

Bride and groom,

I remember how you promised to

never say I do.

I hoped maybe we were more than

just practice

but it’s clear I was just never worth

it.

— jade novelist


With Love, Forever

BRAKES

All you had to do was ask me to

slow down, instead of break my heart

because you couldn't handle my

love.

— jade novelist


With Love, Forever

GOODBYE!

Say it again,

maybe this time I will believe that

we’re really done with the back and

forth.

Say it again,

maybe this time after you’re done, I

will believe that we’re done.

That you’ve had enough of someone

who found ways to forgive you even

when you were undeserving,

I swallowed your faults and blamed

your flaws on me loving you way too

much.

I got tired of doing the same thing,

hoping for a different outcome,

I gave up on the madness,

I gave up on leaving you

because you made hurting me seem

so beautiful.

I became a beautiful tragedy,

I smiled whenever they asked how

were we,

and mastered the art of covering up

how you were breaking me.

So say it again,

Say it until my heart hears the

words,

say it until I can read the signs

because I was never your

destination,

I’m just a traffic light that has been

stuck on red for too long.

— jade novelist
