Why? (Sonnet #272) Poem by Tina Baaklini

I often wonder about our bond
Why does it bring so much joy to my soul?
Why of your heart I am so much fond?
Why all that you say or do leave me enthralled?

I often ponder about your tenderness
How can it flow in my heart as an ocean?
Or as a caress that expells any distress?
And why do I feel so safe with your devotion?

I often think how with you I blossom
My life takes a sweet turn, is more worthwhile
And why your heart feels a safe haven, my home
And a moment without you feels an exile?

Yet suddenly all these questions dissipated,
When my heart reminded me that we're soulmates.
