I want love like water
Love like need,
like sustenance.
Love to cause shipwrecks
Love to bring me back to shore.
Love like, I always want more.
Love like I’ve had too much.
Love like I need to get it out.
Love like even still,
I bring it back to my mouth.
I want to love like water.
All over you until you’re clean
In you until you’re satisfied,
overflowing,
smoothing every wrinkle,
seeping through every crease,
every line.
I want to love heavy, love light,
love like whatever you need this night.
Love like you can’t contain it.
Love like rain,
like a storm’s hit.
Love like oceans.
Love like,
you don’t even know the half of it.
Love like resilience.
With the power to create
With the power to destroy.
Love like I’m everywhere
Love like you depend on me to be here.
I will always be here.

Gratitude For Life
The last time I laughed so hard that my belly hurt was ___________ Rupi Kaur's Gratitude Writing Prompts When I was 24 and going to a women's support group we would laugh, I would go home with a sore face and sore sides. Why? I wasn't used to smiling or laughing. After a few months of doing that, I never have a sore face, sides, or belly from laughing as I laugh enough.
