Changer

Poem about how love changes us.

 

You have changed me.

Changed.

Changer.

Changeling.

You’ve stripped me of all unworthy cause.

All that’s left is made pure by you.

 

Dipped me in your volcanic fires.

Returned to ash; to what I once was.

Left in innocent delights

Bereft of magnificence and nights

Without you.

 

You’ve scarred me to a moment’s choosing

When once I was winning

I can only focus on losing

And I am marked

By moments that I met you

By moments that I get you

And moments that I let you...

 

Measured out by those moments

Into minutes and days

And all kinds of ways you’ve changed me.

 

Endless summers may not dry me

Freezing winters may not chill me

All seasons may pass

Where summer flowers to mossed icy grass

All the changes you’ve made in me will indefinitely last.

What a striing tribute to that specil someone..such devotion that is so rare...loyalty and intense emotion fills this..This person might have been the impetus...but it was you that changed and did all the hard work...beautiful!
