a poem for Jude Law

we're told to love the one we're with

and love truly when love we meet

make it a port in every storm

and to hold it in the lonely dark

 

but we paste celebrity pictures to our bare walls

and all over our Facebook pages

and on white t-shirts with poster paint

over the places in our battle scarred hearts

 

that longs for the kind of bravery

that abandons mere dreams of true-love

in favour of setting out a wanderer

to find it

    ! I HAVE 'NEVER' IN MY LIFE DID SUCH AS THAT, HANGING A POSTER OR PICTURE OF ANY TYPE OF CELEBRITY UPON MY WALL, SWEET BEAUTIFUL SHARON ~ BUT I LOVE YOUR PROFOUND POEM AND I CAN SEE THE LIGHT SHINING THROUGH ITS WORDS QUITE BRIGHT ~ ALTHOUGH I MUST ADMIT I HAVE BEEN THINKING OF BLOWING UP A MARILYN PHOTO AND HANGING IT UPON MY WALL ~ KEEP BRUSHING THE BEAUTY &, 'HAPPY NEW YEAR.' MY LOVE, ALWAYS, RACHEL *
