Love: The Contradiction
Folder:
General Love You are a poison-
the sweet substance which
destroys my unhealthy belief
that I would never find love.
Yet you also
have the healing touch-
what soothes the soreness
of a sensitive past.
~~~
You take my breath away-
leaving me panting
for you to seize more air,
stolen from my lips to yours.
Yet you also
make me feel weightless-
allowing Love’s breeze to lift me
above clouds of loneliness.
~~~
You blur my vision-
dimming my concept of reality,
with tears flowing endlessly
of unearned happiness.
Yet you also
give me so much clarity-
a realization that your hand
is indeed mine to hold.
~~~
You make me restless,
lying on the edge of rationality
where my heart is in control
of all my decisions.
Yet you also
put me at peace-
lulling me to sleep with ease
and a smile night after night.
