2009,

a year I'd label divine.

The cat whiskers had begun,

and I had met the one.

My phosphorescent ray of light,

my single beam of sun,

he's mine.

Phil Lester.

That name is a blessing in itself,

it sounds like the chiming of bells

and rings repetitively

in my sanity.

Such a beautiful tune

stopped me from falling apart

and granted me wings to fly to him.

Three syllables that stole my heart;

ten letters that meant a new start.

2012,

I hate myself.

I love you so,

but the lens and filters

have dimmed my glow.

Your oceans of blue that were alit with life

swallowed me whole and drowned me alive.

I miss your hands

upon my skin,

I crave for your lips

to fall onto mine,

I lust for your touch as

our fingers intertwine.

Phil Lester.

Is the cost of comfort heartache?

That name only sounds of silence now,

I wish that it could sound once more

with the tone of chiming bells

to erase all of my calamities.

Three syllables that broke my heart;

Ten letters that tore me apart.

2015,

what a colorful scene.

We've made it together

with a tad of cereal and caffeine.

The 7 Second Challenge,

the trip to Japan,

The Amazing Book Is Not On Fire,

and even more I can name.

You've returned to me,

my luminous light.

You're here at last,

to bring day to my night.

Phil Lester.

A name as refreshing as a breeze by the sea,

sounds like the chiming of bells again;

a name that rings with such passion

to disperse my anxiety.

The melody serenades me

with warmth like no other.

Three syllables that changed my life;

Ten letters that shallowed my strife.

2022,

I love you.

As I pace by the pews

and pure white decor,

smiling through memories

and merry nostalgia.

Phil Lester.

I'll never forget your name

if you were not there

I wouldn't have been the same.

Under the chiming of bells,

brown meets blue for the 1000th time.

I do.
