This lost soul in me,
this girl,
I swear
Only she
is allowed
to replace
this soul of mine.
Where can I go from here
now that she’s inside
she’s all I want
this thing inside
is a warm fire
that is all satisfying
these are the feelings
she’s left inside.
This love of hers
there’s more to explain
Grace and her voice
she and her singing ways
I can listen
and have been
for years.
It’s the garden though
that has captured her
in equal measure,
she swears,
all she wants is to beg
each and every day
the more she can absorb
the closer she gets
she understands
we’re tied
and bound.
Here we are
barefoot in the ocean
watching the other
under a star-lit night
the sky is full
weighted down
the pinpoints sparkle
I can only see her eyes,
sometimes,
I feel blessed
to be in this place
with my one
and only.
I’ve said enough
so I’ll leave you
with this,
if you’re lucky
to have one wish,
find love.
It won’t matter
the places
where you’ll
have to look,
you’ll know
the right one
when you have to
write poetry
to let the words out
from your
overflowing cup.
