My Poem

Joel,
You’re the last thought that comes to me before going to sleep, fleeting like a shooting star. Your voice reminds me of a yellow oriole’s song, and it hurts my soul that your magnetic voice is not what wakes me up in the morning. I love you like the planets love the sun, with your hypnotic essence that makes my every thought orbit around the idea of seeing you again.
Yours until the stars fade, 
Alejandro.

This is my attempt at an epistolary poem for my boyfriend. I wanted to channel my love for him, and the deep love that I feel not just for him but also for the world around me. Even if it is a cheesy it's very genuine. I know that regardless of anything I will treasure this poem because it is honest and it is my truest feelings. My process writing this piece was a little difficult, but I think it ended up being good. Many of the things I mention in the poem have a connection to a certain aspect of my life that I treasure, which makes it interesting to me.
