I KNOW LOVE

                                                                                         

I know love

it is never that sure of a ring

forever sparkles just underneath

leftover remnants for the winds bending

a battered laundry list

tired wishes flow oh so effortlessly

leaving the believe to the lie

deep Inside every happy ending

boldly aiming over the rainbow

for any galaxy far, far away

looking wide for a recognized set place

daydreams cranked straight through the easy bake

hit and missed the upcoming inception

striking a blindfolded target

disarmed in a charming

play by play

I know love

the endeavored sweet

rinse and repeat, to what end

write on the box happily ever after “not included”

the colors of the rainbow

the brightest star from afar

blinded in their own beauty

a shine almost gold for the rival

emptied trophies still heavy in truth

guarding first base

instead of making cherry cake

another day plays it closer to safe

everything is a new surrender

I know love

it wraps me in need of grace

it watches with eyes, that are mine

it reaches places I can never climb

it is the tiny hands

the sea of branches stretched to me, the sun

gripping these palms to no means

always holding tight that ticket

to alive
