PASSION'S FOLIAGE

Folder: 
JOURNAL # 41

the very roots of who you are
surround me in fertile acceptance
life sprouts and flourishes
in boundless joy
peace sets quietly now
at my side
knowing you are my champion
the world reflects back to me
an ample loving tide
though rough is my every day rhino's hide
to you I must seem a delicate rose
from an opposing soil
I stubbornly still bloomed
strange as this may seem to say
it gladdens me that the world sees
me one way
and you an entirely beautiful other
my true self to you was never long
a mystery
you understood me early on through
and through
and throughout my lowest trials of
living with such struggles
you cloaked me in such beauty
and guarded me as something
of worth
with your every admission of
something small and tender
you shout I love you into my
heart
this we both know
without such truth
further needing to be stripped
I am yours
you are mine
nothing in either of us
for the other will ever quit
once 'Passion's Foliage'
took to this garden's ground
everything cemented into
what was meant to be
you and I never ending
like a perfect circle
unto each other
we revolve around and around............
