THE LOVE OF ONE WOMAN
You were a catalyst
who mesmerized me
with your radiance,
and the contours of your
elegant body.
You awakened me
in ways I had never
permitted myself,
allowing me to see
everything with the
curiosity of the blind,
to see the world
with new eyes.
I was a rudderless ship.
You were a guiding compass
who sent me on an adventure
with sensations of joy alien to me.
Your love will keep me feeing alive
for as long as I live.
