Love Blossomed


Love blossomed
At the intersection of lust, dreams and desire,
Where crowded clouded skies
Yield to chocolate cream sunsets,
Harbors can't harness the depths
Of passion
So pervasive you can taste it


You make me laugh,
You're a sack of something else sometimes,
I oft times call you an asshole,
But it's so uncontrollable
Laughing at your antics
And inappropriate chimes
About the things you'd really like to say to your boss,
Or certain friends who might be overdoing the weaves and lip gloss,
And what types of clothing are just too close to dental floss


When you came through
Everything I thought I knew
Was interrupted like
Trojan air by arrows...
My narrow minded vision
Of nuclear fission
Reactions contractions
Eyeball satisfaction
It all fell by the wayside,
You were bona fide
I was stupefied...
Sure you denied
My scare tactics to get you away
I gave you every negative trait of me
But yet you continued to stay
And, yes, we bump heads
Two strong minds never leave a relationship dead
You're my eternal spark


You're my striking lightning
Slicing
Open the dark
With luminous allure,
You're my poetic metaphor,
Rhythmic waves
Crashing ashore,
You're my 80's mix tape:
"Every Breath You Takee" is a "Kiss On My List" "Time After Time",
And "I'm Giving You The Best That I Got" Oh "Sweet Child O Mine"...


You have the strength of hurricanes with a tiger's heart,
And I love that you
Genuinely care for my teddy bears
And wear your love to impart
...oh, and live for dessert a la carte,
Because that's my talent spot right there,
I had easily had you at "chocolate"


I love you more than I love strawberries,
I love you more than you love chocolate chip cookies
And ice cream,
Together or in tandem,
I love you more than you love the Ravens
I love you more than New Yorkers love a victory parade,
And definitely more than New Englanders yearn for one!


I love you
Just as much as I like you
And every day I like you more than yesterday,
I like that we get to write our own history
And though our destiny is still a mystery
I know that it will always be you and me


Love blossomed
At the intersection of lust, dreams and desire,
Where crowded clouded skies
Yield to chocolate cream sunsets,
And now there's an uncontrollable fire,
You've taken my world
Out of a daze,
And shaken it up
With your ways,
I'm thankful, I'm lucky,
I'm constantly amazed
At how our love blossomed
