My Enigma

Purple Poetry // My Enigma

A cryptic, meandering free verse love poem about the thrill of discovery in a relationship and how that allure and mystery can deepen the longing for your partner. Originally published on DeviantArt and Vocal.

My darling, my riddle

No one in so long has made me think

So hard

No one in too long has made me feel

So deeply

I think about myself

About the world

About you

You mean the world to me

You are a question

Eternally searching

To find an answer

And I am an answer

Eternally searching

To find the right question

You are my darling Enigma

And I am your dearest Epitome

And together we form a perfect union

Our love will last

And no one can take that away

Adversity inspires me

Jealousy inspires you

And in inspiration we unite

Forever dancing in the full moon light

Under the pine trees and into the rain

An answer and riddle that madden the brain

Hush

Enjoy the silence

Before the chaos of the noise

Before you have to leave and I’m alone

Again

Heart-sore and missing you

My darling, my riddle

My sweetest Enigma
