Commitment

An ode to love and honest promises. For my significant other, happy two years loveliest.

This picture is not mine, the poem is.

They are the mystery and beauty of life itself

the beauty and doom of the surviving race

the images of spiritual purity which I believe is them

Sweet as nectar, golden and violet like the dawn

their body composed of constellations and

a product of destiny and

bursting nebulas of finite stardust

A rare and unexpected miracle sent from the

purest of stars and I always wonder why

Why they were placed in such a tender and perfect body,

why with a soul as intense and soothing as sunlight

and why we were meant to be

My human psyche hated anything to do with orange and

whether it be peaches or nectarines or sister’s skin, but

then I met you

Your aura is bright and nurturing Your

voice as smooth as the first bite of a fuzzy peach and

the juice runs down from the corners of my mouth and

past my jaw to consume my flesh and

I love all of it

The exhilarating feeling of warm sunlight on skin, a

bite of sweet honeycomb and the tingling sensation of

the thick viscosity seeping into your veins, the

first taste of a summer fruit, my reason to frolick

Soft and sweet words and all

the late lustful nights spent

on the phone with you

My life seemed to be

an endless spiral of the same

things that everyone had done before me

My ideals were pushed to become misty and

mother shaped me so my life was unclear

We’ve planted

a seed of commitment

to each other and to

our garden of heartaches and heartfulls

I focus on the pleasant present but

talk about the foreseen future and

ponder upon the prickling past and

here we are

Soft and warm and

together.
