Just Love

We are books, waiting for the perfect reader to connect with.
But first we must be written
Blank page at journey's start, how to fill the innocent space?
Experience and risk, mistakes and regrets, joy and triumph
Love;
To love and be loved, to feel love, to breath and sweat love.
And with love and life comes sorrow's lament, the sad songs of our hearts
Sometimes a hurt is so bad it feels it will never heal,
A dead zone appears.
I have a hole where some peace used to live,
Cold and numb
A victim of frostbite,
You can never hurt that part again it died in self defense.
Now it stands as a barrier, a wall against that same attack.
I have shared moments with friends that have changed me forever
Even an easy simple thing may imprint a moment on your life
Change can be sudden or experience may take decades to effect.
Time is its own teacher; make sure you don’t sleep through class.
All pain, all love, all joy and all pleasure is a lesson to be learned.
But still the hope and dream is to be found on the shelf, to belong.
To be read and re-read until we become dog-eared through constant use.
My love has been published,
It has been put out for all to see
Together we write new chapters with trusty pens
I know a new peace now
A comfort I never knew of,
It surrounds and connects us
The twin smiles as the same thought connects
Words become obsolete
We have intertwined our patterns to create a new shape in this world.
This alone adorns our cover, no title needed
Our collaboration has become a best seller.
