Human Beings

Human beings
in love
are a sight to behold.

He is a safe place
She is a deep place.
The space they inhabit
is a blessed one
Howsoever much you
unlayer
there is always more.

Being in love
in such a way
is a study in method acting
to observe every flicker
and be sensitive to each
twitch.

And yet
the spotlight is always on you
You learn to stand in it
bask, glow and grow.
Thats how he beholds you
and you learn to hold yourself
too.

And there is more-
while you may be the beloved,
the medium is always you.
You are the Prism
who makes the light
refract into love.

Oooh what a delight of a poem. So much to love in this one. The lineation, which you are always amazing at, but also the internal rhymes, such as place and space.

I wish you posted more. Your poems are a delight
