Intro
The experience of falling in love, whether it is young love or falling in love as a mature aged man or woman, there are many similarities. Although I wrote this poem as a mature-aged woman, who was falling in love again, publishing it today took me back to the days when I fell in love as a young woman. The curiosity and excitement of meeting someone, and then over time, getting to know that person intimately. Although at present I am single, I look forward to the day that I fall in love again. A decade after the death of my mother, my dad fell head over heels in love and married at 75 years of age, married a beautiful woman both physically and spiritually and they have since enjoyed decades of loving and caring for each other.
Life is too short to not embrace love in its fullness. It is never too late to fall in love again. Beverley Joy.
My Love, I adore you
My body and mind are consumed
With a desire to know you
And with confidence say ‘I get you.’
I’m fascinated by how your mind ‘ticks’
And how you calculate solutions
Explore possibilities
Live out life’s happenings.
You challenge mediocrity
Not prepared to accept the norm
You swim upstream for an experience
Just because you can!
From a healthy mindset
You ruffle my feathers
Unsettle old-school thoughts
Of shoulds and shouldn’t.
I melt into your embrace
Into our love for each other
Which penetrates and excites
Every part of my body and mind.
Totally committed to ‘us’
We trust, we fall in love
For cupid’s arrow has pieced our hearts.
Our love is living art
Created by both of us
Our original, colourful
Textured love story.
Our love will inspire, challenge,
Encourage us to step beyond
Our known world, our comfort zone.
Our love shall blossom
To full expression
Of who we are
And who we shall become.
