The One

 The One

Alluring bodies are nice

but a good, caring soul is hard to come by

A quick wit is attractivebut a kindred spirit who will always be by your side

and have your back whenever you need them is invaluable

A person with a lot of material wealth is sensible to be with

but someone who can make you laugh and smile on your

darkest days is irreplaceable.

Overboard

 Overboard

Drifting through the seas of loneliness

I search for an island...a refuge

Of all things I could find, I find you,flailing 

your arms in desperation, searching

for some means of rescue

We latch onto each other, 

creating a human flotation device

We float for hours through the unforgiving sea

but together we are content

We happen upon an island filled

with everything we could ever want

And that, is what love is all about

Reassembing

 Reassembling

Picking up the pieces of what is left

gazing at the remains of my broken heart

stretching to reassemble from the theft

stringing together each remaining part

though I loved, my was just a test

my heart, a test comparable to Gordion's knot

you passed and shot an arrow through my chest

my heart, a war which you fought, and fought.

Final surrender to that sorrow that is....

Love...

Eternally

 Eternally

Love is the beginning, as surely as it is the end

wherever you find it, cherish it.

Whenever you lose it, do not despair,

for surely it will find you again.

The feeling I feel for you is best summed up

as the equivalent of the sun rising on a snowy day

and warming you both inside and out

No poem, no stanza, no rhyme could ever describe

the way you brighten my darkest days

You are my starlight on a pitch black night

which guides me home

I will always stand by your side through thick and thin

I am yours, eternally.

What I miss

 What I miss

What I miss...

The strawberry smell of her auburn hair

The way she walked with a slight tilt in her hips

The way she would grab onto my arm while watching horror films

The way she comforted me whenever I was down

What i miss the most?

The fact that she chose every day of her finite life to be by my side

I will see her on the other side one day...

Love-Acrostic 2

 Love-Acrostic 2

Latching onto the pieces

Of a broken heart while

Vying for the attention it needs forever and

Evermore

Steel Heart

 Steel Heart

I had a heart of steel

yet yours was a heart of molten lava

No matter the circumstance, my heart

would melt and bend to you

I tried to resist loving you

but it was all in vain 

My heart was eventually enveloped 

in your love...and after that, there was no

turning back

What once was steel, has become pewter

easier to mold, but also easier to love
