Love Poem: Heaven Rhyme

Heaven Rhyme

I don't know what to expect
maybe songs, maybe flowers.
I think maybe I'll hold onto earth,
want to smooth sheets, shower.
Your hand will be the hardest
to give up, kiss goodbye
your warmth next to mine
the sunrise of love in your eyes.
Maybe they'll be an open door
just beyond my reach, a halo
light knowing you're there
waiting to kiss my lips, kiss hello
and maybe all the kisses
I ever had will rush like fire
maybe we'll speed off through stars
go faster, farther, and much higher...
Or maybe I'll cling to earth
become eyes in stone, watch from afar
become a brook burble of mirth
that's enough for me, flowers
love, fire, kisses, growing lighter...
