You came into my life so unexpectedly

promises

You came into my life so unexpectedly

with the promise of 

book dates in cozy corners

and chai dates on rainy days.

You came into my life so unexpectedly 

I must have recognized you

for we plunged in

as fast as we were unexpected.

You became my demon warrior

hand in hand

we could conquer them all,

together. 

You came into my life so unexpectedly

like an ocean's wave

rushing and strong

beautiful in every way.

But together, 

we calmed our seas.

Together,

hand in hand

we could conquer it all.

This is - I really like this - it has unsurmountable spirit and belief - if both parties are this sure of their bond then the world is truly their oyster. Its so refreshing to read about a couple who could have it all instead of could have had it all.
This was great !!

Here's hoping you're right.
thanks for reading.

So beautiful! The bond of a romantic relationships is so strong, and takes a lot to be broken by others outside of the relationship... usually it's the people in it that break it. And I love how you say, "My demon warrior" almost as if the person has more humanity to them, because you hinted at them having a darker past, maybe having done some wrong things, making them all the more human because of it. :D

I think it takes a lot of similarities and a certain bond to find a demon warrior in someone.
thanks for the comment.

I agree. And no problem. Thanks for the poem. :)

First, let me say WOW about your talent! I have read this work many times now. I so get the content (and love it) but to me free verse is also about rhythm without meter - the words have to flow rhythmically even if they don't rhyme. The third "You came into my life..." seemed forced. We were talking about cozy corners and chai teas - then the ocean's wave. I thought the metaphors were mixed a bit.

But you are a talent. Don't get me wrong - just trying to be real.

[Elie Marie]

I can take the real with the compliment. thank you so much.

A pardner in books and chai tea. A perfect romance. I like the story in the poem and the happy ending. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

love the twist .. we create and destroy don't we .. and so very sad when it is something of great value .. love this poem nicely done says i .. but perhaps i read this all wrong ..
"But together,
we calmed our seas.
Together,
hand in hand
we could conquer it all."

I guess I don't know what it is. Not yet, at least.
It was meant to be positive.
