Truth Is

National Poetry Month 
Day 24

Truth is
I really don't know where to begin
You just appeared
I mean
Like 
Here with me
And here I stand
Looking at the truth 
Of what is
I didn't fall in love with your beauty

Yet my eyes can see the canvas of your 
One of a kind painting
I fell in love with your passion to want to be loved
Even when your doubts say not to
Truth is
Your desire to heal your pain

Has crumbled mountains
Your strength to walk pass your fears

Has calmed the roaring waves of the sea
The willingness to share your uglies

Brings your human flaws to creative assets 
Truth is
You're amazing
My soul becomes connected 
With you
As you listen to my troubles
The ear to listen to my aches untold
The sanity to trust me
The softness to cry on my shoulders

Yet
Your sense of humors fills 

My day with endless laughter
Truth is
You have shown me love 

Everyday by your actions
Followed my the words
Echoing in my winds
Truth is

I fell in love
