Drink Up

The Next Time
You Spend Hours
Sleuthing for
The Perfect
Objet d’Amour,

to Offer to
The One
Who Wrapped
Their Affection
Around Your Soul,
then Wrapped
Your Soul
Around Their Own,

The Next Time
You Search
The Thesaurus of
Adoration

for The Transcendent Tropes to
Trace the Tears Dripping
Onto the Tracks of
Your Pen,

Pause for a Moment to
Catch the Precious
Overflow
In a Cup,

To Be Saved for
a Later Moment,
After the Celebration of
Your Affection.

When that Moment
Appears,
Pick Up the Cup and
Before You
Drink from It

Read the Inscription
Just Beneath the Lip:

“The Creator Who
Wove Your Soul from
Love and Light,
Joy and Laughter,

Is Madly In Love With You.”
