Love

This poem is about my first experiences in falling in love... What I learned from it, what I believe! Although I wrote it three years ago, I agree with a lot of the stuff in it still.

Love

She was the first one I loved

It’s that simple for me...

That I would fight for her love

Was not something I could foresee

Was not love that magic word

That opened the gate to kingdoms afar...

Was it not that elixir of bliss

That made sweetest the porridge sour?

The very wind,

That blew all troubles away

That deep longing

To be with you all day

The magical music in the air

The scent of her waving hair

The songs the birds sing from the trees

The whispering of her voice in the breeze...

The thundering sound of the crashing seas

The faint rustle of the nimble leaves

It was thus, and much more

Abundant, the surprises, love had in store...

Some were happy, and some were nice

And some that attacked at my every vice...

It laid bare my soul so true...

It painted me red, it painted me blue

It questioned all my beliefs so sure

And tested me beyond endure.

It asked me if I had the courage,

To stand by “I Love You”,

It asked me if I could feel it in my veins

Did it flow through and through?

It led me to a cliff,

And told me to jump;

I said, I dare not try...

What fear are the valleys,

The seas, it said...

To those with wings who can fly?

The flight is one

Its wings, two

Supported by you and me...

Holding hands, side by side

Learning what it means to be FREE...

Learning from each other,

How we actually are to be

Gazing, at the universe

Our eyes filled with glee...

Love is the safety anchor

Love is the clouds in the sky...

Love is the shooter’s mark

Love is a mirror, in front of thee eye...

Love is the unforgettable journey,

That changes all parts of thee...

Love is the impeccable tour guide

Through an otherwise rueful destiny

Love isn’t you,

Love isn’t me,

It’s what we have together

More special than special can be...
