I doubt
I will ever be happy.
Not in a way
that attacks
or permeates
the deepest
darkness inside me.
There are too many
unknowns, and I
can't identify
unequivocally
with joy.
.
But to be known
or loved by you
is a greater light
than any answer -
And lying beside you
is more honest
than
declarations of truth.
Thank you
for showing me
that love is not a parade
or a raging storm.
It's no egotistical scuffle
at Speaker's Corner
or a brass band
at Trafalgar Square.
It's the
silent
simple safety
of open arms.
