Love?

Why is everything so heavy?

My mind is just an endless, 

infinite loop

of senseless reassurances.

My mind is churning with thoughts;

like a family of innocent mice

they multiply into monstrosities.

Row after row of confusion,

doubt and bittersweet memories...

My heart throbs slowly,

lonely for the call of its pair

but, with the sound of his voice,

like a daytime flower, my happiness 

blooms.

With reflecting colours

that shun the darkness that 

constantly tries to consume me, 

comfort reverberates throughout

the ravaging ocean of thoughts

that suddenly stilled

under the command of his voice.

It resonates within,

planting seeds of fear

because of the intimidating authority.

As the ocean laps

licking the beach,

warmth spreads across my heart

for he has brought to me

a neatly wrapped parcel of reasons

for me not to surrender.

Along with it he carries my burdens,

in the comfort of his arms,

in the growing sapling that is his love.

It is overwhelming, 

feeling the heart of another

beat a different rhythm

for when the light embraces me.
