A poem I wrote way back in January 2009. I was so mushy back then. Sigh.

Love is all one needs.
With the passing of time, all will pass,
withering, withering, within
As the beautiful petals of your present
will fall away, leaving the
Brown unsightly core
"Do you still love me by then?"
I ask, as you witness the results
of an unordinary love.

Love is all one needs.
As infatuation leads to self denial,
further progressing to
emotional security
"I do"
I say, as I make a promise
for a life time.

Love is all one needs.

Telling not all, but one,
And convincing one that one actually
Never wants to leave him
Yesterday, today and tomorrow
Under the blanket
You do understand this, and so do I
As someone close to you
Never will, and never will
Give you away.

Love is all I need.
As time compacts into a moment in time,
forever treasured as moments are temporary
A photo taken by the mind
of your eyes
Filled with power
Not of dominance but of emotional communication
Brown is actually such a lovely colour
The colour of your eyes
"Baby," someone's voice whispers
In the distant present
in the nearby past
As you stare through a screen
transcending through space
through time
through physical and momentary barriers
to come face to face
Heart to heart
Together
Hand in Hand
Love
Is all I need.
