Loves Despair


Love had been
unattainable
for so long

it had always
avoided me
hid in shadows

I had known of it
from books I’d read
stories I’d been told

songs I would hear
spoke of it
in the air

sometimes I thought
I had seen it
In a sunrise

when birds would
preen each other
and mothers
would feed their pups

but through this
all happening before
my eyes my heart
would flutter
yet not understand

until that day
you walked in front
of me in a moment
of my despair
you smiled and
took my hand
your touch interrupted
my Hearts beat
then I understood
Love begins
with care
