Love Poem: I Want You To Know

I Want You To Know

I want you to know this,  
               I will always remember.
 

Love is a miracle, infinite and divine 
but the opportunity for love  
to take hold is fleeting. 
Like a firefly’s light - 
it burns bright, bold and beautiful, 
but ephemeral, it dims,  
without warning. 

I am grateful that I was led to you, 
drawn to your shine as I stumbled  
through my hollow cavern -
you, in your brilliance,  
crystal stars on polished pools 
of smooth sea, 
you, in your spring, 
carrying your heart like a bouquet
and gifting it to me. 
All the fire, breath, and beauty 
beneath your ruggedness, 
swims in the light of sun, moon and stars, 
and I bathe in its splendor.  

When I search my tomorrows, 
I find you near me and within 
for I am the love you return to me. 
I am the flower that climbs to seek  
the gold flecks of light in your eyes.     
God saved me when he gave me 
the gift of you. 
My roots and your roots entwine, 
and in our autumn, grow  
deeper and stronger  
as our red branches reach  
for heavenly skies of honey.  
  

We are brought together as one love, 
divine intervention many memories ago. 

I want you to know this, 
                I will always remember.
