Status Updates From His Green Eyes: Love Poems ...

As I lay here with your chest under my ear, I am soothed by the sound of your heartbeat.
This reassuring sound proves to me
that this love,
this perfect life with you, is really true.

You gave me the courage to slash out the weeds
and let myself blossom like never before.
Now I never fear of the petals falling off, for they are flourishing more than they ever have...
and I owe it all to you.

Love isn't always fireworks and rainbows.
Sometimes it is monsoons and thunderstorms.
You just have to find the person who will choose you through the fury
to get to paradise.

I fell in love with you because of the way you held me tight and still loved me,
even after I told you about the years of abuse and the frightening fears stuck inside my mind.

I love you more than
all the infinite stars shooting around the universe in a skyrocketing frolic.
