Love is April 12, 2014

 

love is blind

even through the lens

of a camera she uses

 to collect the world

 pink cherry blossoms

 decorating her love life

 and mine though more remotely

a few more pictures

to frame in a gallery

that already shines

 the tenderness of each bloom

reshaping our existence

even if she is unaware

 of its impact on me or others

who cling to each falling pedal

as it tears

spring brings her to a different place

 reshaping her into a different person

maybe a person I might not recognize

if I met her again on the street

 this need to be something new

 somewhere else

to live in some new shell

none of us have seen before

and so we might love her again

 even through all the tirades and tribulations

we never ceased

love is never convenient or logical, it merely is,

 and regardless of what face she wears,

 love is constant, even if also painful
