Lucky Number Eight

I've jumped, fallen

Head first into warm arms.

I'm embracing the change of a real

Prince Charming, as I find I'm no longer broken

But awoken and laughing

At my mistakes

As I retrace my steps and then my

Fingers in patterns on your skin.

I've become alive like never before

Which is frightening and exciting

As I discover happiness in you.

I'm smiling and twirling and one night

In my sleep I started whispering,

"You're my world."

I'm diving, soaring,

Free falling towards a greater ends

With better means.

My senses are set on fire as

We kiss in the dark,

In the light

Of our imperfections and shortcomings

With the full realization

That we are perfect for each other.

This vividness is right,

These feelings are real,

And for once, they belong to a person

Not an idea.

Cute piece. I like the portrayal of love like this. Abstract, but good overall.

i don't like this.

it sounds like you are running away from faith.
