Devotion

Roses are red

Violets are sometimes blue. 

All the words that ever existed dance pirouettes inside my head,

twirling revolutions of expressions in a melody completely their own,

a menagerie of messages arrive at their destination

Then my world shattered and fractured into a million billion fragments, 

every declaration is no longer my own

My heart collided with yours

And the words started this beautiful dance in the most perfect and utterly brilliant way. 

Words no longer linger inside my head. They scream out, “hear me.”

I race to my dreams and, on a journey, reach beyond the stars

Begging and pleading 

for you to wrap your arms around me where I can safely be 

The most perfect version of myself

Loved, treasured, protected, and completely yours!
