FILLER
The title is deceptive
2/17/2025
LOVE IS...
Love is
the filler that connects
every empty space
the cracks in the wall
the space between people
The breath
in our lungs
The thoughts
of loved ones
near and far
Separated by distance
by time
by regret
It is the letters
written by hand
stored in musty attics
collecting dust
as if to add weight to..
the feelings
It is honey
in a teacup
shared over a conversation
about absolutely nothing
Love is
a moment of eternity
as it is squeezed of every atom
by the immense press of time
It is a silly random note
found in a sandwich bag
along with the sandwich
It is a child
a song
a poem
a memory and scars
Love is a bullet
taken for a friend
whether real
or metaphorically
Love is
unexplainable
illusive to hold
sometimes harder to find but...
Love is...
Always
