Your Poem

I never knew how to fit you into a poem.

Because for you, words are felt like knives or hot tubs.

We both live in fantasy, where romance exists.

But at the same time, you are logical and honest as a compass.

And I always said I preferred metaphors to similes.

I always described my ex lovers as having a face

shaped like an hour glass.

But with you, I can't see the sand falling, or the time ending.

I see your eyes genuine and filled with passion for success.

You wonder how it will all fall into place.

It will. It always does.

You are the train I was waiting to take,

out of my cyclic masochistic nature

Into a world of senseless sense,

fantasy and logic

and cartoons in real life form.

You are the ocean;

We are the ocean,

Filled with possibilities.

I have always said that the ocean

is where I belong.

Even when you need solitude

to think and write and believe.

I will always be here for you.
