Love

Kora

Love is an illness, 
A loss of all sense,
Sometimes brief,
Most often chronic,
Causing agonizing,
Insurmountable pain,
Yet there is nothing
I would not give,
To see your goofy smile.

How peculiar it is;
We search for a lifetime,
Making our hearts,
So achingly fragile,
Frantically clinging to hope
That we won't be broken,
Yet there is nothing
I would not give,
To kiss your tears away. 

I think about this often,
While I'm waiting
For you to remember me;
The bruise that forms fresh,
Every moment in which
I love you so hopelessly,
Yet there is nothing
I would not give,
To understand your soul.

So like all those
Who have loved truly,
I plant myself & let roots grow,
Stretching out my arms,
To bask in your light,
Soaking in every. last. atom
Until night finally falls...
Because there is nothing
I would not give

To keep loving you.

          I've just discovered you slipped a flowers proem in when I wasn't looking.... and I thought I'd been abandoned... Managed to find some tissues, so stay steady - it is a long way to come just to kiss my delicate eye area. However know my heart is strong, as my cardiologist informs me, and is now considerably warmed. .....
