Love Potion

I knew I loved you, I knew I always did, I loved you then, Every day of then, so much I’d lay down to die. We had a rainbow, navigating this Earth, A spectacular, impossible rainbow filling our sky. I loved you when you tackled my heart, grappled it down, Held it, stomped it into the ground. My heart became obedient, yearning for your word, Patiently waiting for it’s turn to come around. But you stood, foot firmly on loves throat, Making sure it couldn’t breathe or move or moan. You stood as we watched our love quietly die, Watching as I built our love’s headstone. But you didn’t realise my love was smart and strong, That it had planted a seed before it died. This seed grew into a new rainbow, a new love of my life, That was strong and honest, it was dignified. My memories I’ll always respect, always nurture, Cherish like an honest hands on martial art. And I’ll always defend my soul with this magical karate, Used by the formidable love that’s in my heart. 11th June for contest
