Love Poem for Reed

 

(Dedicated to my husband on our 10th anniversary)



Here we are lovers for life,

Centuries spanned and lovers more than twice.


Our hearts collide and shatter,

Continually permeating intergalactic space to the next island universe. 


Kismet taking a back seat to the stories it writes about us,

As our dame of fortune is always sitting in the lap of the gods.


Dividing cells can’t keep our bodies, 

From seamlessly melding from the ardor of our sex.


The lovemaking breaches so deep,

Crossing oceans of time, through a phantasmal portal, into the galaxies of my soul.


The magnetism of our carnal knowledge forging jealousy, 

Oh how Aphrodite and Ares are green.


Our coition of love undresses layers of my soul,

As your hands tie to mine.


In this life, and the next,

Wampole in knowing that in all of my destined ways.

I choose you, 

I choose you in a hundred lifetimes.


A hundred worlds, 

In any version of reality.


I’ll find you,

And choose you.


K.S.
