Predilection

A poem about the whirlwind of feelings that is swept along in this thing we call love.

Predilection

and I don’t quite know how to capture  

the very essence of simply  

living  

laying  

and loving with you  

in words  

maybe its because my heart  

is so deeply shipwrecked for you  

and in your bright eyes   

I can so comfortably lose myself  

like I have never before been touched  

by the pain that once guided me  

for you weaved back together  

my chaotic pieces  

and kissed away my flaws  

as if my lips were oxygen  

and you couldn't breathe  

your strong mind   

pours light through my windows  

and into the cracks in my foundation  

carefully holding my fragile hand  

and stretching my mind   

past narrow reality  

your eyes have their own vocabulary  

captivating me with your wisdom  

and I know  

with every fiber of my soul  

that I am hopelessly yours  

and it will always be so
