For the Sake of Our Love

For the sake of our love,

we build bridges over

the broken pieces. We

tip-toe slowly over its’ surface

and try not to look down

to rivers of past.  We acknowledge

the stumbling blocks that try to

halt us dead in our tracks.

 

For the sake of our love, we can start

over again, and then again,

when we go the wrong

route. Think the “agains” are better

each time.  We realize the

reality of our love, and we

make up for time lost.

 

For the sake of our love,

we keep loving the intricate

outlines and interiors of one

another.  We delicately

wallow in the heart of the others

soul, and tarry long.

 

For the sake of our love,

we love.  Like endless moments

trapped at the edge of earth.

We cross galaxies of pain and hurt.

We leap over high peaks

and mounds to reach what

God meant for us to be.

 

For the sake of our love,

we seek to reach our

destiny, and dive deep

Into the brink of possibilities.
