This Is Why I Love You
In this free verse love poem, imported from DeviantArt via Vocal, I contemplate the journey that brings two lovers into the lives of one another. Toying with the concept of soulmates and the reasons two people might be bound together by fate, it all begins with a dream…
As I wandered
Down
Along the broken beaten road,
And off the beaten path,
There came a man into my vision.
Once untelevised,
Unsupervised,
He let his spirit soar
As his body did above the canvas floor.
He was a rose in the deep sea of blood
And hate.
He was the darkness of the light,
And, still,
He became the light to my darkness.
I thought there was
No rest,
Here,
For the weary-hearted,
But he was my sleep.
And when I dreamt of him,
For once,
I woke
To find him there.
He is you.
You are
