Love Poem

Two extra arms sprout 

out 

of my ribs

To hold you my love

with twice the arms

Which are wings

that can take you up

above

 

The clouds 

are the soft pillows

of our sleep

our eternal minds

rest 

in love

while our bodies

ascend

to the moon 

above

 

The clocks

are shattered 

when we kiss,

I’ve never known

this feeling 

of bliss, my darling

you are spring

and my heart a bud

that opens at

your command.

 

The sky will

see me die,

my flesh burned 

to a crisp, in your loving

hands

my ashes spread, like snow.

And my light 

will remain in your flight

through eternity

and my heart a bud

that opens at 

your command.

 

You see, I am so small

I am so large

when in your presence

I feel most myself

no need to hide

my darker side.

So my love pours 

out

and from my ribs I sprout

Two extra arms

to hold you tight.
