night
and the flowers across the street
look black ... stripped of their colour
but i have seen them in the light of day
three red flowers standing tall
~~~
so powerful
so perfect
that even the mere mention of your name
soothes me and gives me comfort
i've no need for much else
suddenly i am a better woman
a stronger woman
suddenly aimless drifting shifts
to pronouce periods of creativity
and all for the love of you
the contentment of knowing we are one
i do not wonder what i would be doing
if you were not in my life
for i feel we were meant to be together
the fear and insecurities are gone
and i love you all the more for this
we've grown stronger in love
and we still have a future to grow even more ...
