YOUR LOVE

I could never really accept love in your words

They were always too shallow, too restrained, too confusing

But somehow

In the palm of your hands

 Mine found strength

In your tears

 I found sincerity words wouldn’t capture

In your embrace

Dessert land became home

And rolling on the floor like kids in laughter,

Rest found me

And my heart no longer could deny you.
