Lovelace

Love is

Eternal. One hundred and two years ago 
you were born when I was still stardust 

we loved each other

we didn’t need to be alive

for our love to ignite.

Before you found room in my womb
I loved you eternal stranger

you are a new light in my love

agonisingly familiar

although we have 
only just met.

The strands of love 
that join all of us 
to each other through 
generations of unknowing 

are unfathomably exciting

unimaginably frustrating.

Connections with others 
who you have known before you  
knew yourself, illuminate life

casting delicate
stitches ~of ~love 
that are eternal.
