Love, you

Love, you are the teardrop on my eye-lashes :

dangling, i won't let you fall,

ill keep you forever within the grasp of my gaze.

~

Love, you are the smile that creeps in silently

and floods my darkness with the

cackling echoes of your laughter.

~

Love, you are the yawning gap,

that your absence leaves in me, a chasm

I fill with my memories of you.

~

Love, you are the bitter farewells

that come between our hellos and goodbyes :

they tear me, kill me, but don't let me die.

~

Love, you are the idea, teasing my mind

with its essence, sans presence

like words that refuse to budge from the tongue.

~

Love, you are a fluttering wave, a gallant sailor upon

a brewing storm, a distant light house standing firmly

upon the rocky abodes of lashing waves.

~

Love, you are the first rays that strike

the hardened walls of a cocoon, that is me

until from it I emerge, your beautiful butterfly.

~

Love, you are the first pretty petal 

that I perch upon and whisper lightly

so you know what you mean to me.

~

Love, you are the one that completes me.
