Love Poem: Newborn

Newborn

new suns kiss upon a lighted skin begins a life
with heart so light it cannot know 
the weight of all the love that it applies

annex without exit tending every mattered soul 
formed anew with flowers grown and 
gifted from the depths of your unmeasured heart

a love expected, born in every new life yet to be
erasing older pains delivered by removal of each core
wherein the seed of you will now begin

this moment or the next,  a happening 
that brings us each ascending to the fore 
and this is all we’ll ever know of love
