Love Blossomed |
|
Love blossomed
At the intersection of lust, dreams, and desire,
Where crowded clouded skies
Yield to chocolate cream sunsets,
Harbors can’t harness
The depths
Of passion
So pervasive you can taste it
You make me laugh.
You’re a sack of something else sometimes.
I laugh uncontrollably
At your antics
And inappropriate chimes
About the things you’d really like to say to your boss,
Or certain friends who might be overdoing the lip gloss,
And what types of clothing are just too close to dental floss.
When you came through
Everything I thought I knew
Was interrupted like
Trojan air by arrows…
My narrow minded vision
Of nuclear fission
Reactions, contractions,
Eyeball satisfaction,
It all fell by the wayside,
You were bona fide
I was stupefied…
Sure you denied
My request on facebook…
Twice…
And sure I had to promise ‘no expectations’ for a first (not) date,
But I’d pay that price.
Again and again.
You’re my striking lightning
Slicing
Open the dark
With luminous allure,
You’re my poetic metaphor,
Rhythmic waves
Crashing ashore,
You’re my 80’s mix tape:
“Every Breath You Take” is a “Kiss On My List” “Time After Time”,
And “I’m Givin’ You The Best That I Got” Oh “Sweet Child O’ Mine”…
You have the strength of hurricanes with a tiger’s heart,
And I love that you
Genuinely care for your teddy bears
And wear your love to impart.
…oh, and live for desert a la carte,
Because that’s my sweet spot right there,
You had me at “chocolate”
I love you more than I love chocolate chip pancakes.
I love you more than you love peanut butter
And ice cream,
Together or in tandem.
I love you more than you love horror movies,
Just kidding,
I know you can’t stand ‘em,
I love you more than New Yorkers love a victory parade,
And definitely more than New Englanders yearn for one!
I love you
Just as much as I like you.
And every day I like you more than yesterday.
I even like you more than I like to sleep diagonally in the bed,
And now I love that I get to share that bed with you,
Every day,
Every night,
Into every morning,
For the rest of our lives.
Love blossomed
At the intersection of lust, dreams, and desire,
Where crowded clouded skies
Yield to chocolate cream sunsets,
And now there’s an uncontrollable fire,
You’ve taken my world
Out of a daze,
And shaken it up
With your ways.
I’m thankful, I’m lucky,
I’m constantly amazed
At how our love blossomed.
At the intersection of lust, dreams, and desire,
Where crowded clouded skies
Yield to chocolate cream sunsets,
Harbors can’t harness
The depths
Of passion
So pervasive you can taste it
You make me laugh.
You’re a sack of something else sometimes.
I laugh uncontrollably
