Love Poem: Love of My Life

Love of My Life

I never knew I could love so much.
Horizons opened the day you came squirming
Into my out of myself.

 Pride

They say it's deadly
But I can't help it when I look at you
When I listen to you say words
That I never taught you that teach me.

Doesn't feel deadly at all.

Sixteen is two to the fourth power
About to burst into magnificence
If I said "Go for it" would it
Embarrass you?

Of course and who cares and I love you.
No matter what
Forever and always amen.
