I don’t have to write a sonnet
My heart has one written upon it
I feel the breeze of change blowing through
It’s coursing through my veins too
My arms are outstretched, I can’t reach
But I’d gladly swim the Great Atlantic to get to you
***
Tonight the stars shine bright and brilliantly
Blazing and burning for Us because
They know and they see
Our Story: All that can and will be!
***
How lovely —
We both have finally woke up
Alive again in our new beautiful reality
You melt me like sugar on my tongue
Melt, then I gracefully leap and tumble
Now, no longer do I stumble, I soar
Weightless — a delicate butterfly in ruby red slippers
It’s You. The one who set my heart on fire!
Reignited the existence of desire
Flames are my soul’s recognition
A faint recollection of Hope and Joy
***
Burning my cynicism to ash
Given the gift of courage to NOT look away
Instead of worrying — I face my day
May I ask this paralyzing happiness to stay?
***
Your flames burn hot and high
Weak and alone. Oh! No, not I!
Vaporizing my demons — doubt and uncertainty
Carrying my fears for me
***
No need for the penchant to escape
Finally, I feel strong, like I won’t break
I love you
I love me
I love Us!
Now I know — it will always be —
Forever with you!
You Lil Dickens
