Love Is Sometimes Dark

through the darkness of love,
i found you
so sweet yet so pure.
yearning 
your distance pulls me 
closer, 
i knew,
i loved you.
estrangement was who i used to be,
you have shown me
healthy attachment, 
authentic fondness and 
adventurous intimacy,
two have made one.

Welcome to Poetry Soup. I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." The Lord's blessings be with you.

Love can, indeed, be a worry but also bring gladness. Thanks, KK. I like this one.
