The Battle for Love
I awakened
the inconsolable beast,
without any gaping wounds
to show for my confrontation;
but there you were,
as you always have been -
your smile lights up my screen
and it becomes
the lightning in my chest,
thunder rolling
beneath my bones -
here, I ready for battle
once again;
your good mornings
are my favorite -
sunlight upon the inky night,
a river running wildly
through scorched land;
my gratitude grows
with every single moment
you gift to me and the beast;
from their depths
I am replenished
the inconsolable beast,
without any gaping wounds
to show for my confrontation;
but there you were,
as you always have been -
your smile lights up my screen
and it becomes
the lightning in my chest,
thunder rolling
beneath my bones -
here, I ready for battle
once again;
your good mornings
are my favorite -
sunlight upon the inky night,
a river running wildly
through scorched land;
my gratitude grows
with every single moment
you gift to me and the beast;
from their depths
I am replenished

Dear L,
I loved the feeling of lightness that you describe when we see someone we love and who brings us joy. It truly can alter the brain waves. Lovely piece. H🌷

You make me smile with the sense of gratitude in this, of the slow intimate building of bonds that is so precious to being. I love those energetic transformative metaphors as well,

I think people get it wrong when they say that love hurts. Love doesn’t hurt. It’s beautiful.
This is a lovely poem.
