Love Poem

One only asks for one moment

One kiss, one hug until one date

Where all of their hopes are crushed

At the foot of what we have become

I took a step off a ledge and fell,

Deep into a vast unknown, where you

Offered me residence

And as I stared past the gates,

Of the hell you created

I wholeheartedly welcomed the capture

Your eyes blue on a Sunday eve

The beginning, my numbness holding me wretched

Was set free, to a place where I have recently,

Become so, very entranced

But I lie, fully vanquished by your caress

It overcomes me;

By your beauty,

It overwhelms me;

And by your love,

It overjoys me;

To the point where I cannot return

To the poverty of the sad spirit I once had

It was bad, and now with you had,

I will take your hand to the last of our days

When “if ever” becomes “forever”.

I prithee, to last this forever.

Whenever, I lie down at night to pray,

Your name is first off my lips,

I pray thank you Lord for this day

Where mine and Adri’s hearts eclipsed

It hurts to think that we came so far

And it puzzles me to think how beautiful you are

So…shall I compare you to a summer’s day?

If in May, then I will say, I’ll admire you for hours

For you are the one who brings the flowers

After the long treacherous April showers

But in April, I did not despair,

Because I knew that you were there,

With me, because you brought me sunshine

Amongst the rain, and even the raindrops,

Scream your name, as they fall for earth,

Just as I fell for you.
