Love

If this love

You’re far too perfect to be true
If this is love it’s perfect too

Love

Love
Is what I feel for you.

Love
Makes me want to share my time with you,
To wake up each morning with you,
To laugh with you,
To look into your eyes
And feel scared, loved, safe and free.

Love
Is why I smile all day,
And why I want to wake up beside you tomorrow and sing.

The dark can be scary when you’re not there.

When I switch off the light
The darkness is too much
It threatens to swallow me up
And quickly
I reach for the switch
And flood the room with light
Pull my teddy close
He’s the only one who hugs me tonight.

A love poem

Smile at me
I think
And you smile at me with your eyes
And with your perfect straight teeth.

Show me
I think
And you hold out your arms
And encircle me with warm love.

A quick and ultimately sad love poem

Apple pie cart
Slowly dissolving dart
Fragmented breaking heart.

I saw you again

I passed you in the shadows that are night.
Dark dark and street light litten.
Faceless and human shaped
We passed as strangers passed.
Night feared and darkness timid
Pretending both that the fear was not of ourselves.
Silent in word, eloquent in deed
We passed by each other in the shadows that are night.
Silently
We never spoke but all was said.
