To My Love
This is a letter to my destiny . Towards which I plan to cultivate my path .
Think of it as ‘writing letters through time’ .
In the future, I hope to have many of these to give to her .
Whoever she is .
Maybe she could be reading it right now . =)
———————————————————————————–
I wonder where you are .
And what you’ve written so far .
Your life story is an enchantment to me
In knowing I will someday be part of it .
You don’t know who I am . Or where I am .
It could be a long time before you find out .
These city lights may never shine your way .
Your symphony might lay unwritten; and your song left silent .
But I will be a blessed man to earn the honor of making you smile .
I’ll live for you before you know it .
The sun won’t ever set on my virtue .
All I have is enough time to improve myself
And ultimately rival the horizon of your elegance .
These days will inevitably become the past .
And we’ll sit and talk about them sometime .
By then, any memories of days when you felt lonely will disperse .
Because you’ll know even then, I was out here .
Working hard to somehow . someday . gain the unfailing ability
To promise you happiness before you know it .
You’ll be a part of my life before you realize I’m even living .
I have faith that you exist . You’re here in my reality somewhere .
And I know I won’t be imagining you forever .
You’re going to be wonderful .
So I need to be that, too .
I can’t paint your picture . Or assemble your image .
Your existence shatters the capacity of my expectations
And I couldn’t even compose a fiction beyond your marvel
If I had an infinite power of boundless exaggeration .
You’re going to change what I believe in life and love .
And what I believe I love about life .
Regardless of how I prepare, I don’t think I’ll ever truly be ready
For that first moment your eyes strike me frozen .
Truly, that will be both the defeat and victory of my spirit .
I’ll have to find a thousand new ways to express myself .
You’ll have me frequently distracted, disoriented, and speechless .
But never regretful to find myself that way .
I used to think that I’d be able to write the most captivating poem
About you . After I know you better .
However, once I finally meet you, I doubt I’ll write anything .
Because everything about you, will be beautifully unexplainable .
So I’m going to spend my time writing for you now .
Until these words grow to fail in value .
At the mercy of your truth .

I hope you find her soon. You deserve nothing but the best. Even though I don’t know you personally, the REAL YOU shows through your writing. And anyone who reads your poetry and articles is lucky to have a look on what’s ticking in that mind of yours. But really, you seen like an awesome person. And I pray you find the woman meant for you who will always be there for you no matter what happens.
Take care and God bless

September 21, 2009 at 7:35 am
this is my favorite, by far. the girl that you’ve written this for will be very lucky &&blessed to have you in her life, when the time comes. i wish you all the luck in the world, but i`m sure you don`t need it. you`ll find her someday [=
i also want to thank you. i always want to give up, but reading this has given me hope again [=

You are so beautiful. There are no other words to simply describe it. So, with complexity I explain:
Your soul is deep;
I pray and hope that the world knows this,
For your soul overflows with a type of knowledge that the ignorant are none the wiser to.
A broad spectrum colours dance in the current of your heartbeat,
The matter mixing together to form a mysterious, dark cloud of protection.
This cloud, however, somewhat subconsciously thins out to let the light brighten your vulnerability.
You’ve felt love before – don’t let that feeling go.
Out there is a woman, be it the same girl you ponder or another, that shall fulfil your souls’ desires.
I pray that out there, she – your true love – is listening to every emotion you so meaningfully convey to her.
Just be patient with love and keep being you.
You are amazing at expressing your feelings through your dance, music and poetry. I hope that I am lucky enough to meet a man like you, Ryan. When he eventually does cross my path, I will not let him go. I just hope that he hasn’t already been and gone.
Much love, AsiaNerdPride – aka Trisna

Wow. I love your poems. It makes me want to start writing again. It’s been a little while since Ive written a poem. You cease to amaze me with all of your talents. I hope you find her, and when you do I hope she realizes what she has.

I still wonder how a soo awesome person as you – well no, THE awesomest – can be really real ?? Who won’t be touch by this uh ?? That’s impossible !! Almost makes me cry !!
I really hope that you’ll find this mysterious girl Ryan, you deserved this ( well, who doesn’t deserved to be happy except terrorist ?? lol )
Good luck !! Wish you the best !!
Much love from Paris

That is a very beautiful poem.
When the time is right and the girl is before you eyes, a wonderful feeling will come over you when you least expect it. And as you two are together and are meant to be, you will have that feeling inside when you can’t imagine life without her. She be the one you want to grow old with.

Your an inspiration to me. Not only your poetry, music and dance but also your passion and commitment to your arts. I play piano myself and after 11 years of technical training, I’m finally focusing on improvisation and composition. It took me a long time to discover my talent because I didn’t realize how expressive you could be with the piano until i saw what you could do. If there is any kind of advice you could give, i’d very much appreciate it! I fear that I’ll be distracted from my dreams, but really, its just about doing what I love. Even if I end up somewhere different than I imagine, I’ll know that I can express myself in multiple ways. I look up to anyone that can live their life doing what they love and showing others what’s really possible in life. That’s definitely you right now.

Oh wow Ryan!!!
Leaving me speechless in words.
A shock in my heart between the lines.
As the beautiful rose blooms your poetry is just as beautiful.
Moments to cherish and emotions to express.
More to come and expect.
You got me wondering and thinking.
-Christian<3
P.S. Yes I am a girl:)
