Tears of Love

Tears of Love

A sight so pure,
an intense release of emotions,
running miles down your face
to try and express the mad passion
you feel for... me?
... I feel...
so relieved.
Relieved knowing that
others are capable of loving me,
that my efforts, ceaseless and ever true,
are not in vain,
that we, two strange birds
riding on the winds,
collide with a breathtaking embrace
that sends my heart up and out my throat
as I sing of her sight and sound,
her un-comparable kindness,
and of how she sees through these feathers of mine
and stares into my breast,
knowing what I hold dear,
understanding my fears,
and, taking them in wing
without missing a beat,
clutches them to her own,
just as she does me.
With this new and unimaginable love
fueling my heart,
I now soar to new heights,
holding out my hand to her so she can follow.
We tug each other along through the thick and thin,
clouds accentuating the blissful journeys we take,
a simple backdrop to a sparkling day
pressed to her side.

Laughter catches in my happiness
as I chase after her dancing hair breathlessly,
she turning to smile to me reassuringly,
letting me know that she will never
leave me behind in the tailwind
to falter and fall from the bright sky
we share in one another's eyes
as we catch glimpses
of a fruitful future
where we grow healthy trees
to bear our delicious tenderness,
sharing our affection
through the soft center
and refreshing energy contained within.
