Another Love Poem

A Poem by Jenna Kay

I can't stop writing these things. S.O.S.

I didn't exactly fall in love
I actually looked at love, saw it in my path, attempted to walk around it, and ended up tripping over it anyway
But once I felt the wind in my hair as I flew further and further down, I never wanted to walk again
You were... Freedom, for me
You, with your wanderlust and jovial spirit
We were writers, artists of the hand and heart
And everything you touched, became holy
That's why I was so scared the first time you touched me
How perfect you were with your flaws and insecurities
And I was only a hurricane about to crash onto your shore
My mind, body, life was a storm that I never wanted you to get lost in
But when you touched me...
I was calmed
From your fingertips, a wave of still fell upon my skin, and for once my mind only consisted of... You
Maybe you did get trapped in my storm
But you were too close now
I wanted you closer
Passed all the bones, in the center of my ribcage
Protected by the armor of my chest, you would be there
You could keep my heart company
Or perhaps you were my heart
But either way, I wasn't quite alone anymore
In silence, we were solitary
We were everything I had never wanted to be
And in finding you, you set me free
Emotionally, creatively
Seemingly connected to each other
Your hands performed dances whenever you'd speak, your eyes were designed as masterpieces
Your presence fills every part of me with inspiration and notice
And for the first time, in a long time, I can say the word happy without lying lips or shiny eyes
Finding you finally was worth all of the pain
I may be a storm, but I'm in love with you
Because you learned how to sing in my rain
