Except in the case
of you and I
I have never known loss to be
a catalyst for gain
We love
because living in vulnerability
shows us richness of the soul
awakens the heart and lifts
its ivy covered
chains
behold what is beyond
I am made of all the glorious pieces of
you
just as you
all the glorious pieces of me
Together we stage a reckoning
a righting of all wrongs
then
we come alive in each other’s wholeness
revel in shared strength
we embrace moments of lightness
a symphony of hearts
beating to the same tune
We are strange in love
it sends shivers down my spine
all our experiences in this mortal coil
they make up a mere
fraction of all we will be
I am alone more often than I’d like but I have the brightest, warmest love of all
My hope is the flickering candle on the far side of the room
At a distance but burning with reassuring intensity
Oh, to love you, to be loved by you
The greatest pleasure I know
Your very being
beckons me
leading me further into this
beautiful mess of yours
fairy lights on twine
All those twists and turns
you hold an end
trail the remaining length behind you
we walk deeper into the forest
safe in the knowledge
we are guided by the glow
The warped matchstick
First flickering to life
an explosion of warm golden embers
held in my hand
travelling the length of the wood
a steady traverse
charring and burning
a strange new scent of sage
finally, the warped matchstick
wilting and blackening
till it droops eventually
the light has died out
as has the fire in my eyes
Honestly and often
that was the manner in which
he spoke of
my brown eyes
deep chocolate recesses
in which he found himself
constantly and hopelessly
lost in
