Buried treasure

 


Love can sting

but it can be

a beautiful thing,

It doesn’t have to be

painful or untrue.

So, jump in the

deep end with me.

It doesn’t matter

if we can swim.

I will float with you.

 

Love can win

when it feels like only

hurt touches your skin,

when the dirt has been rubbed deep in

and no scrubbing will get it clean.

Lean on me and I will hold you tight.

Tracing the scars of your heart

and drawing on all the love it imparts

To paint you a message in the stars.

A message that speaks in glitter.

A swift reminder that

things can always get better.

Once you clear away

the debris and litter.

 

Pain can ensue

if the wrong person

passes through,

but it’s a lesson

and it doesn’t lessen

the love that had

its fledgling moments

in the sun.

It’s a treasure

don’t leave it buried

like worn old bones

beneath sun-bleached stones.

 

Dig it out,

hold it tight

and see

what treasure

the universe

bequeaths.

 

It may be messy and oblique

it may transpire

that it was never meant to be,

but the journey will

show you so much.

How wonderful you can be.

How joyous the birds can sing.

How the touch of spring buds on skin

can feel like a kiss left from the sun

after the rain has gone away.
