Love is not simply an act we do in a time of passion
It is more of a chain that links us with each new encounter
A place where joy and sorrow meet, held together tightly
by the chain of events that we call life.
*
Some chains are linked with large links full of strength
while others are fragile and can be easily broken
Some are linked with refined finesse that binds us together
like a beautiful herringbone neckless laying on her neck
*
Love is about a connection between our two souls
Held together by an unexplainable bond that weaves itself
into every part of who we are and what we will become
Not choking like a lymphoma, rather a loose connection
*
Love embodies flexibility that allows one to breathe deeply
inhaling the beauty of who we are together in each of life’s links
