Worth It All


How do I describe a love full of indescribable things?

A quiet, tender river flowing of hope; which leaves all men on their knees,
One that pulls gently with joy plated hands at childhood strings,
It serves like sweetened water to a starved long worn tree,
To try to cease its' chime is like surviving an insurmountable disease,
Heard of and fervently reached for but always too high for decaying hands;
If love ever be true, no bounds can be conceived,
It is a silent and unfelt demand;
Wound into your being like your unwavering genetic code,
My love for you is like the universe, endlessly endless and full of bright points; the trial of your kisses in my every wake,
In your eyes a great unraveling beauty is untold,
Though it was never needed to contemplate,
Through every breathe and even beyond death's delight: my fate was never mine but our fates combined,
Through every flaw and fall, I can only live a life worth something more than it all; if you will be mine, whether or not by design.
