I’ll be the sun when it’s raining
Remind you of summer even when it’s gone
I’ll be the light that shines through
Even when all your curtains are forcefully drawn

[ceis @ceispoetry]

I take photos of everything I love
From waffles to books and even my bed too
You hated when I took photos
Do you remember that like I do?

[ceis @ceispoetry]

I write to understand it
How my brain is so oxymoronic
How I’ve placed myself in bonds
Not shared but actually ionic

[ceis @ceispoetry]

The frustration set in
I sobbed back my words
But the air still held me
Sang songs with the birds

[ceis @ceispoetry]

And when our worlds fell apart
And it seemed absolutely nothing went right
We helped each other find our armor
And prepared for an epic fight

[ATTICUS @atticuspoetry]

“Do you hear that?”
he said,
“Listen close
the universe is singing to us in shooting stars
daring us to fall in love.”

[ATTICUS @atticuspoetry]

Watch carefully
the magic that occurs when you give a person enough comfort
to just be themselves.

The night feels so lonely
The sun has disappeared
But tonight I am myself again
The cloudy skies have cleared

[ceis @ceispoetry]

Too young to know what I’m doing
Too old to say I still have no idea

~twenty-two

[ceis @ceispoetry]

I don’t know much about the future
Other than it must come tomorrow
But I don’t know if that day is full of hope
Or if it will only carry sorrow

[ceis @ceispoetry]

Being first-gen feels like
you’re without paddles on a boat
but the water is getting rough
so you gotta get creative to stay afloat

[ceis @ceispoetry]

I feel like a stranger to myself
And I don’t know what to do
“You seem to have it so together”
Yeah sometimes I believe that lie too

[ceis @ceispoetry]

You can’t explain your experience
To someone that has never had to understand
That life feels like you didn’t get a parachute
and you’re immediately about to land

~being first-gen~

[ceis @ceispoetry]

Oh how serendipitous it was
When our souls reunited at last
And how silly of us to think
We could forget lovers of lives past

[ceis @ceispoetry]

And it doesn’t hurt anymore
Or I guess, it doesn’t hurt the same
It’s like having a scar that’s fully healed
But still remembering what’s to blame

[ceis @ceispoetry]

How beautiful it is
that a human heart still beats,
long after it has been broken.

And how wonderful it is to find love again
Except this time it is felt, even when unspoken

[ceis @ceispoetry]

When love leaves
Let it. Let it. Let it go.
Everything will be okay
That much I do know

[ceis @ceispoetry]

I stay a romantic
Because when all else fails
When nothing makes sense in the world
True love, still somehow prevails

[ceis @ceispoetry]

La soltería es necesaria
Para avanzar la capacidad de amor
A veces cuando algo termina
Dios de está haciendo un favor

[ceis @ceispoetry]

Y un día lo encontrarás
El sentimiento que estás buscando
Un amor lleno de ternura
Y entenderás por qué estás esperando
