Keeps And Gardens
You have torn down
the walls of my heart’s
ramparts and stormed
the keep, keeping nothing
untouched, but through
your touch have made
everything sacred. You
pushed back the edges
of who I was, allowing
our communal growth
through our love’s
expansion. Through your
actions I have become larger,
more grand than I thought
possible, and through my
growth you have found
your home, for as I was
expanding you were moving
into my heart, placing
your future within my love.
I have planted the garden
of love’s perfume within
your soul, mixing up the
fertile soul tinged with
heartache and loneliness
to nourish the growth of
our love. I water your
fields of beauty with my
tears of happiness of which
you inspire, pushing your
boundaries of love to forever
encapsulate the sharpness
of love’s decision. I tend to
this garden seeking to win
the truest flavor of our shared
love and am ever hopeful
to always nurture our love
so that you may always
enjoy the fruits and flowers
of love’s labors won.
We seek always for each
other’s awareness in love,
expanding and nurturing
our unified growth forever
reaching past our previous
boundaries, as we breathe
towards a greater inclusion
in our love. We bridge our
differences with love’s
sharpness, for love needs sharp
edges or it is not a lasting
love, so we seek out our
defiance and pain in life
(and love) to ease that
harshness together and to
grow always together, seeking
always to learn, expand, nurture
and in the end, to find ourselves
nestled within the heart of
love, our sacredness in life.
