And yet again
As love is
Known to do
It surprised me
Coming from behind
Around a corner
Or even from
Right in front
It did appear
Like a sultan
On a camel
In the dessert
Of my life
Take my hand
I will take
You to my
Tent give you
Drink bathe you
In fragrant water
Letting you rest
For a while
There with me
In loves oasis
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
Oh I know
I know that
It is coming
Which is why
I keep staring
Making you uncomfortable
Because I know
I know that
Eventually one day
You will be
Gone and I
I will be
Staring at nothing
Love is gravity
It keeps us
Grounded for without
Either or both
We would simply
Easily float away
Like the clouds
Do every day
