I don’t have to write a sonnet

My heart has one written upon it

I feel the breeze of change blowing through

It’s coursing through my veins too

My arms are outstretched, I can’t reach

But I’d gladly swim the Great Atlantic to get to you

***

Tonight the stars shine bright and brilliantly

Blazing and burning for Us because

They know and they see

Our Story: All that can and will be!

***

How lovely —

We both have finally woke up

Alive again in our new beautiful reality

You melt me like sugar on my tongue

Melt, then I gracefully leap and tumble

Now, no longer do I stumble, I soar

Weightless — a delicate butterfly in ruby red slippers

It’s You. The one who set my heart on fire!

Reignited the existence of desire

Flames are my soul’s recognition

A faint recollection of Hope and Joy
