 232. Sorry It Took So Long
I kept writing
To a future
Beloved.

Someone I would
Pour out my affections
On
In
To a future where
I was needed.

I was a fool.

Then the Universe
Nudges me
In a little
Bump…
Then gradually
With playful
Pokes…
Until one day
I get a clue by four
Upside the head
So hard
My heart
Breaks.

I had wanted
To be the
Cherry
On top…
And I was
For a while,
But it was
Never meant
To last
Forever that way.
It tastes good
And is
Happiness
Until you
Find yourself
Wanting something
Like a real meal
Nourishing
And satisfying
On a much
Deeper level.

Sometimes
Getting lost
Along the way
In beautiful
Distractions
Is part of what
Makes reaching
Our destination
Filled with
So much
Gratitude.

So I picked up
A paper
Read about
Relationships
From someone
Who actually
Had empirical
Evidence…
And learned

Something.

That I am
The author
Of my own
Myths.

That in
All of these
Love poems
To some
Future object
Of affection,
That…
Was all
They were.

I don't want
An object,
I desire
An epic story
Of love and
Passions shared.

I want to take the world
By storm
With you
So that if people
Think I am
Bright
As a symbol
Of love and
Light,
That it will
Be dim in comparison
By the same
Multiplied
By our combined
Presence.

I knew you were
In my future
And that it
Would be
A long time
Before
We met,
And today
I finally
Know why.

I'm sorry
It took so long
My love.

I'm ready to
Go adventuring
With you
Around the world
And back again.

There will be tales
Of our love
Like Brangelina!

I want to burn
Unashamed by
One another's
Side,
Loving so
Insanely brilliant
Wall around
Hearts fall
As if made
With dust…
That friends
And lovers
Who have long
Despised one
Another
Find forgiveness
Just to hear
Of us.

To inspire
Nations,
Worlds,
Communities…
Together
With such
Genuine affection
They cry to
Feel us.

Together,
We shall
Empower the world
And remind them
They are Divine
They are loved
And it is
Impossible
Not to be.

I know
That even as
I write these
Words,
Your heart
Whispers to me
Of the perfection
Of the Universe's
Timing.

Until we
Embrace as we
Have done before
For thousands
Of years,
I giddily anticipate
Your arms
And mine
Your kiss
And our love
Realized.
