Find Me In This Love Poem Poem by Roula Pollard

When did we meet you and I? Was it when the full moon, earth's
blessings, the sun's intimacy, the scented ocean breeze
and the breath of light opened their hearts?
It was when, everywhere
in the affection of our dreams
the distance uniting our smiles
memories expanding beyond ourselves
beyond our ability to overcome ignorant silence
the script of the horizon upholding our vision
your hand touching my lips, my imagination
thoughts of blessings growing to completion
when hope's height touched the mountain tops
of our heart, diluting anxiety, anger, adversity, pain,
when forgiveness healed time's dark rage
when our ability for positive thought multiplied
our strengths, to grow a miracle in our hearts

When blind inner forces, replaced angelic thoughts
on the earth's shoulders with roots of cynicism
and defeat when conflict weakened itself in honeyed
waters, when the ocean of the heart increased its flow of goodness
allowing currents of tenderness to fill me with love for you

Then, we replace the imperfection of destiny
with certainty, the wounded reality we delete.
Now stay, not like a dream but real, with me.
