It is only
When you turn
Your attention away
From yourself do
You truly love
It is only
When then there
You stand naked
Against the elements
Of abject uncertainty
Can you even
Utter the words
I love you
It is then
When you abandon
Yourself making someone
Certainly more important
Than even you
Laying here moments
Ago you asked
What’s your favorite
Memory and thinking
I turned to
You and looked
And looked and
Finally kissed you
And kissed you
And then answered
Those those are
My favorite memories
This I know
You are windows
And not walls
You let me
See rather than
Keeping me hidden
You give me
Air to breathe
Sunshine to feel
Rain to watch
You teach me
Things about myself
That without windows
I’d never see
Love is gravity
It keeps us
Grounded for without
Either or both
We would simply
Easily float away
Like the clouds
Do every day
In the wood
Sat a prince
Thinking just thinking
Thinking about what
Was before him
Entering the wood
Came a man
Drawn by fire
Why so forlorn
He did ask
The young prince
There’s much to
Do he said
And you think
By sitting thinking
That it will
Be accomplished the
Man then asked
I don’t know
The young prince
Replied I do
The man said
Let us be
Friends let me
And not you
Slay the dragons
Let you be
The prince that
Will be king
That is friendship
Doing the one
Thing that will
Elevate the other
