LOVE, PERSONIFIED
I trembled But I assembled And then I pretended Honestly, I don’t know what to write to you I hadn’t felt before, how I felt when I first spoke to you That morning, even jokingly, Your kind and loving words sent chills down my spine Once upon a time, I loved someone But it never materialized So, technically, I am still a novice at love. So, for you to speak to me that way, Gave me an idea of what love could be. Or am I wrong? You’re generous with words Flavored with swords Enough to wound an ailing heart Or cure it, sorts I told Ruth Of how you roughed me “Anything you need, I am always there for you.” That’s what you said And even as a joke, It brought tears to my eyes. I light up, every time I see your call You are an embodiment of what love could be Sprouting like an endless spring Meandering through blistered hearts Inspiring spears To piece together for peace Love is beautiful, MAYBE Friday, March 5, 2021 1:11 AM.
