I feel the change
You’ve formed in me
you assembled
What was left of me from the crusades
Of other men coming to conquer
a girl they had stampeded and blown to pieces
and effortlessly clicked me together
In seamless parttern
Like the final pieces of a jigsaw puzzle,
a project that others would find tedious
You find it relaxing
you choose to lay me out
across your dining room table
As a way to set the sun
And night after night
And put together each shard
Of my heart
And baptise it in moonlight
Until you see every line and curve
Formed into vast landscapes
And intricate patterns
You smoothed my edges
you bended the curves
you dulled the blade
You put the pin back in the grenade
You melted the frost
Your love has shaped me
The last piece
Is in place
and my portrait is finished
I just hope you like what you see.
