My Love

My love is not an I, I, I
It’s a you, you, you
An us, us, us.

My love cannot be put to bed
It never closes its eyes
It never sleeps—can’t be laid to rest.

My love cannot ungrow
It’s for all seasons
Blossoms in the sunshine and the moonlight.

My love is an “original goodness”
A remembered dream
That which can resuscitate a heart.

    Oh wow. So beautifully expressed. Yes. I feel something like this, about love, too. Love is an “original goodness,” a source we all come from, a god particle that grows, golden, warm; and has the power to “resuscitate.”
    Such careful and caring construction in the verses, in your poetry. A slow-blooming pleasure to read; a quiet delight.

    This is absolutely beautiful, Benjamin! True love is the kind that brings life and light especially in the darkest times. Amazingly penned!

      Yes, true love. Sometimes we make the mistake of not realizing there is a wrong way to love. True love, however, “is the stuff that dreams are made of” and they are the best reality, also, I believe. And you’re right: that kind of loves shines like a million suns. Thanks a lot!
