hope
kintsugi
tell me
about the ways
in which you are human
flawed, broken, vulnerable
and all you have endured
in this thing called life
I promise
I will show you

that makes you
more lovable in my eyes
more precious in my heart
than any illusion

ever will
I will continue
to love you
despite your scars
I will love you
more
for them
applause
to the one
who took their time
to honour life
on a sidewalk
this morning
you give me hope
in a world
that has often failed
to recognize
its own kind

higher self
born of ecstasy
wild flowers grow
from your holy mouth
angels fly off your hair
and sun shines bright
through your soft skin
my world,
oh my entire world
it joyously spins in your eyes!
oh oasis of intoxication –
my desires crumble
and dreams dissolve
when you feed me your touch
stay close, my ethereal charm
keep me in your embrace
keep me warm
you are my hope
in this fading world
my diffused truth
in this eternal love affair
