A Poem For Emily

Just something I wrote for a very special lady.

If we ever got around to living forever

I’d complain that we didn’t have enough time

Should we find the garden of Eden and you’re not there

I’d call it the stupidest place I’d ever seen

When I gain everlasting power

And I will,

The first person to gain infinite wealth is you.

I’d steal the whole nations treasury for you

I’d battle a million Rancor for you

Theres not a thing that could keep me away

from you.

So lets take the chance on this one thing

One promise to each other thats horrifying
Let's plunge into the heart of darkness

Fight our demons again

Challenge Death to arm wrestling

Whatever it is, lets do it together

No?

Break my heart

Stomp on the contents

And burn it for good measure

I would have the honor of saying that a goddess snapped me in two

I’d pull myself together again just for you

I’m at your beck and call

Just ask and it’s done

Tea?

Hot and steaming.

Blanket?
Fresh from the laundry.

Love?
It’s super heavy, and I’ve got like...a million boxes in your name.

You and I will have a whole nebula

One that forms something awesome

Like a dodecahedron

It’ll be our place in the universe to be as gods

Or at least something cool to look at

By day you may be mortal

But the moment the sun sinks you rise

On wings that I’ll make from the feathers of Icarus

It’ll be my gift to you

My love

My dear

Just keep me in your life

I’ll keep you in mine,

and together we’ll be some kind of nature

I love you.  

Author's Note

Oh geez, I don't normally do these. I know that a lot of you must be ready to tear this thing up, and I only ask you be gentle. Poetry and I have had a long and very complex relationship which I won't get into. However! If you enjoy it let me know. Makes me feel all fuzzy inside. Also, any spelling and grammar corrections are helpful.

it is gorgeous, she is a lucky woman

Why thank you. She is also quite happy with it. I am too, and that was a huge confidence booster. For awhile I wasn't sure if this was worth posting with all these real poets on here.
