None as complicated
as the game of love
Love as a puzzle
Love as a gift
Gift immortalized in music
Gift celebrated in poetry
Poetry both savory and sweet
Poetry legendary and true
True emotions lost in constellations
True boundaries defined by irregular borders
Borders on the mad
Borders on the effervescent
Effervescent ingénue is radiant
Effervescent martinis shared on a romantic night
Night spies its spell
Night holds the best vantage point
Point toward that trademark arrow
Point toward hearts emitting perpetual light
Light makes ways for true companions
Light glowing under the full moon
Moon marks the way
Moon and stars sparkling
Sparkling eyes shimmer
Sparkling weathervane spins
Spins in time as lovers dance
Spins round and round
Round that old rule of thumb
Round rules meant to be broken
Broken calculus of what is supposed to be
Broken expectations leave room for so much more
More than a word
More than a feeling
Feeling everything as new
Feeling secure in what has become familiar
Familiar hands to hold
Familiar lips to kiss
Kiss to remember
Kiss to forget
Forget all that have come before
Forget all but your beloved
Beloved bestows purpose
Beloved brings meaning
Meaning made clear
Meaning brings life
Life spent together
Life lived as one
One in love
One forever
Forever
Love
