On love

love will always be
unknown territory
an oddly shaped chunk of glory
the exhilarating beat in your favorite story
our first kiss
our first fight
the purple morning light
the give and take
the falling flake
the shoot and miss
the
what is this?
the I-love-yous
being confused
the forced wish
a lucky coin that’s gone amiss
the craziest bet I’ll ever make
our love, it is.
