Some lovey dovey poems I've written over the last couple of months. Enjoy ;))
I love you, December 2023
I love you
I love you like the sun loves the flowers
When she shines on them
Watching as their faces turn towards her
And their delicate petals unfurl
I love you like the rain loves the earth
Blessing the dry dusty ground
With water
Fresh and clean and heavy
So that the crop can push through
I love you like the waves love the shore
Lapping against it
Wave after wave
Pouring their love onto the infinite grains of sand
I love you like the birds love their nest
Carefully collecting each branch, each twig
To build their home
Their place of safety
And of comfort
I love you like the stars love the night sky
Rejoicing in the light that they bring
Leaping and prancing together
Shooting across the inky expanse
Frolicking without a care in the universe
But more than that
I love you like me
Standing here
With my heart completely open to you
Consumed by your love
I want to lie on the ocean sky
I want to lie on the ocean sky
Let the waves caress my every curve
And I want you, darling, to watch me
Watch as I lie very, very still
Or take big strokes, reaching for the skyline
Or frolic about, the water my delight
Then enter,
And we become one
You, me and the water
I am a butterfly
Just hatched from its cocoon
Starting my life with you
I want you to watch me laugh, watch me cry
And I’ll do the same for you, my dear
Watch me hurt, in fury, my every downfall
And laugh with me through every moment filled with joy
We mould each other, you and I
Melt like wax and drip like honey
Soft and wet and warm
I am your lover, I am your life
I am you
Shooting star, December 2023
I won’t disillusion myself
And think
We were beautiful stars in the inky sky
Dancing round the universe
Every move a brushstroke of gold
On the galaxy
Painting a picture of love
For it was messy
Things didn’t feel right
Didn’t go quite the way they were supposed to
And now you’re gone
But sometimes
Every once in a while
I see a shooting star
And imagine it is you
If I love you any more
If I love you any more
I think my heart would burst
And if it did
It would shatter
Into a million stars
Each one proclaiming my love for you
