Love Poem: Boundless Love

Boundless Love

I have loved boundlessly
and thought left empty

yet in the moments
minutes and hours,
we laid in the stars
of each others eyes,
I found ecstasy but also
unfathomable sadness

Finding you in this life
stitching my destiny,
into the silken fabrics
of our days together

Was a pattern designed
to be rent with tears,
but weaves chaotic arc
found lusting symmetry

the burdens of life
strained the linen,
binding our bodies
to perfections edge

as the hem began to fray
and the gaping material
of the masterpiece of us
finally tore to shreds

I knew then,
no matter the quality
of the sewing,
every bolt of cloth
we wove together
will be stitches in dust

But a boundless love
isn't draped in clothes,
Its intangible wisping
in the universe, forever

and my loves sigh,
how beautiful it was
