A little word called love

 

I can conjure up a thousand worlds,

I can walk you through shadows,

take to the stars.

I could show you the monoliths of Mars,

but I can never find the words

that unlock the true feelings of my heart.

It always seems so simple.

Love.

Four letters, which are supposed

to speak above

all others,

but four letters just feel like a flurry.

I want you to feel the universe

not just a simple word blurted in a hurry.

 

I knew from the first moment I saw you

our stories were combined,

like honey blended with the cream of time,

swirling together to create

something sweeter than its two parts.

I want hearts to bind.

Create a story that can never end.

Our paths entwined,

branches of the tree of love

stretching around to hold us,

or like the double helix of DNA, 

the swirling energy of what made you and me

twirling around everything.

I knew, like I'd been sprinkled with stardust,

I knew there were oceans of love

that flow between us.

 

I knew from the first time I heard you speak,

passion licked lips found ways to dig so deep,

I felt something spark alive inside,

the words turning on the lights

to see where they now reside.

I could feel the love inside, and it felt right

for the first time in my life.

Something in the universe had changed,

the stars rearranged, planets aligned.

Maybe we were lovers in a distant time,

but then I think, how can a mortal being

be so closely tied to a goddess

so divine?

 

In distant dreams, before I knew,

I saw what was to become true,

my aching love for you.

Just a seed starting to bloom,

slowly growing, leaves started to spread.

I felt you in my head,

I heard you in the words I said,

I spoke in verse to the universe,

to show me what all this means,

all it did was scream back one word.

Love.

I questioned. Exclaimed.

Said that this is bigger,

it needs a new name,

or at the least to be enflamed

brighter than the sun.

 

I knew the first moment

we so briefly held each other,

that I wanted to hold tightly forever,

to never feel the strain of my heart being

jerked away so painfully.

I knew that my mind would be consumed,

because it was already crowded

with thoughts of you.

But I have never found 

the right word to express

this feeling the best,

so, until they update the dictionary

I guess love will have to do.
