Four Letter Word

Love is what I feel -

It’s a four-letter word

With o, v, in the middle:

Like the o, v, in the word novel,

You're a book, too,

I find you so intriguing,

I can't wait to open.

*

You’re a goddess,

Worthy of worship, reincarnated

In human form, blessed with life

Upon Earth, here it is you

That I've longed for -

Where have you been all my life?

*

You appeared before me,

A white dove.

You transported me to your sanctuary,

Chased away all my insecurities,

Never before have I felt peace

Take me hostage.

*

Let me shorten this distance between us,

Allow love to escape

The tug-of-war between our hearts,

You've crept inside my head, flourishing

Like ivy, creeping into corners,

Occupying every space within

My four-chambered wall.

*

Love is what I feel,

It’s a four-letter word

With the o, v, in the middle,

Similar to the o, v, in the word woven:

The threads of our hearts are awaiting

That interlaced connection.

*

I want our love to be part of my lexicon,

I've made a declaration,

Saying yes to where you will lead me,

My heart awaits its guided tour.
