Intimate Love

and yet, to say that one's heart 
can never be broken 
is a disgrace to the one who holds 
their heart at the ready 
to give to the person who puts stars 
in their eyes and makes them feel 
lighter.
 shining through them, a flame that 
shines brighter than a spark 
illuminating a path along a forest floor so dark 
lined with crimson petals of roses
and shining white of dahlias
each step taken makes a person feel like
walking on a billowing cloud 
about to vaporize to the air. no longer 
am i smothered by thick suffocating
clouds, or forever wearing a black 
witches shroud. 
as i take my steps to your strong, 
caressing hands
a smile lighting up your face
and i hurry to close the intimate space
