Thorny Poetry - 36. I Love You

This came to me last night just before I fell asleep.

it means rainbows

sunshine after the storm has passed

it also means the storm

weather it, i promise it won’t last

 

it means starry skies

and moon bright nights

and also blizzards, snowstorms

fairy lights

 

it means falling endlessly

but still hitting the ground

it means swimming for your life

when no dry land can be found

 

it means light and dark, night and day

it means boiling sleet and freezing rain

it means always and it means never

 

it doesn’t mean forever

 

but right now

i love you

is all i can say

maybe i’ll say more another day

Thanks for reading! I love you.

The last bit, in particular, feels like the mind trying to remind the heart that nothing lasts forever.

I'm not sure the heart listened.  🙂

Sums it up nicely … boiling sleet, though? :) 

That said, sometimes it does mean forever, were that it were more often, than not.  Very nice, Thorn.

Relationships are all of that.

Sometimes the love you feel is a physical thing. Sometimes you wake up and think: Why am i even here and why with you? 

So many people give up at this point. Yet, this too shall pass. These are normal feelings and if you stay the course, the love you feel will return to you in most cases.

I loved the pictures this painted for me.  Thank you.

The heart wants what the heart wants, that's for sure. Thank you. :)

Thank you. Hehe, my ham-fisted attempt at an oxymoron. :P And I've always been skeptical of forever... Feels kind of like a jinx, you know?

Thank you for taking the time to read it. Yeah, love can be tricky, and not just the romantic kind either. I'm glad you enjoyed my poem. ❤️

Reminded me of this song by Paloma Faith, "Just Be".

   Let's get old together
   Let's be unhappy forever
   'Cause there's no one in this world
   That I'd rather be unhappy with
