You had me from our first encounter
My eager soul running to be captivated
By your essence
Your courageous spirit
Sought my brokenness
Loving me
Majestically cured my
Lonely desire
To be shakened
By love's embrace
I am better since that day
Sharing your imperfect humanness
Allow me to be open to my
Own dejected flaws
Yet
We are perfect in
Our love to
Each other's
I can see the wonders
Of ordinary things
Like dandelions
Having seen your
Beauty
I steal a little of heaven
When I kiss you
Paradise becomes closer
With every touch
Of you
I was blinded through
Bitterness and shame
Until you showed
Me tranquility
In your tender
Embrace
And because of this
In you
My heart was healed
Thus
I cry
