All my forevers
a love poem
from
Jude Kyrie

I know you have loved others.
You are not the first one
I gazed at like a new planet.
We both have wounds and scars.
From broken promises of forever.
Our love has come from the
darkness of the night.
Unasked and unexpected.
It fell upon us like gentle stardust.
It is a small miracle.
I will hold you like repentance
You will hold me like forgiveness.
Hold each other so tight
The rose petals of our hearts
Caught between our flesh will
be pressed like orchids
In the pages of old books.
I will write beautiful love poems
with all the words I have ever prayed.
Prayers that I might find you my love.
I will bathe your wounds and scars
with the pail of teardrops
that I cried when I lost hope
that I may ever find you.
I will warm you in the snows of winter
Cool you in the heat of summer.
And hold you safe in the eye of a hurricane.
For now we are one
and it is no longer
Clear where you end
and I begin.
