love's forms

cheap jewelry and heavy make-up
doesnt matter to us grown up kids.
days of holding hands on the swings
are all we live for now.
gifts of grasshoppers
and barbie dolls
showed the passion
welling inside these small bodies.

"cool" neckalces and carefully placed make-up
defines who we are to one another.
nights of "passionate" kissing
are the things we search for now.
presents of cut glass
and rings for fingers
showed the "love"
that keeps us tied together.

no more adornments to cover ourselves
for we a re far beyond that bit.
our nights are spent talking over our
kids and the lives they'll live.
our offering is our time,
the years spent in true devotion,
they show love, real love
not just feeling, but a lifestyle of sacrifice

this was "cool"(as how ever you want to take it) i like the idea of going from "cheap jewelry and heavy make-up" to "no more adornments to cover ourselves
for we a re far beyond that bit" it really interresting to see that transition. i like this. keep righting
