kindred spirits
~by jennifer kiley~

long ago in times past we met
you were known to me as another
and I found in you a stranger
who I let into my life

you needed my help
it was offered and accepted
slowly your newness wore off
revealed was a gentle spirit
with the talent to move creation

you were a pagan, loving nature
we lived in hidden places
being searched out by danger
we ended protecting the other

finding closeness in our plight
guarded by protective spirits
we found solace in one another
your eyes watched over me
as mine watched over you

our closeness grew with time
our journeys had merged
out of safety and from love

our souls were joining
in mutual compassion
we became one

Love is…
by jayarrarr

Love walks a tightrope barefoot over a bottomless pit
engulfed in flames and never looks back.

Love conjures a smile through tears.

Love believes impossible things are possible.

Love is truth, and as such, is sometimes painful.

Love is necessary.

Love is the beauty that shines through cracks
in imperfectly broken things.

Love is hanging your arm out of an open car window
on a hot summer’s day road trip
and pretending to fly.

Love whispers “it gets better”.

Love makes you cry at weddings
and laugh at funerals.

Love pushes you, challenges you,
refuses to let you compromise.

Love never backs down no matter
how hard you fight.

Love is that one song you play over and over
a hundred times and never get tired of.

Love takes charge when you’ve lost all hope,
and makes sure you keep going.

Love thinks you’re amazing
and doesn’t give a fuck
how depressed, angry, ugly,
or stupid you feel.

Love is lightning bugs.

Love is spinning ‘round and ‘round
in circles until you fall down.

Love is the wave that knocks you off
your feet when your back is turned.

Love is stubborn,
and won’t take “no” for an answer.

Love is fearless.

Love is also blind, deaf, and dumb –
and that’s a good thing.
