To know my beloved

By Theresa Alikor

My lover is a dog
Not a brut
His fall for me was brutal
My German shepherd lets me live freely
But observes me from a comfortable distance
Watching every micro expression
Stares content at my joy and peaceful radiance
Equipped for attack,
Whether it's others, my problems, or sadness
He cures with perfectly aimed jokes
A golden retriever
My ball of sunshine is full of emotion
Cuddly, with a head of soft curls
Perfect for hugs after the world has hardened me

My lover is a bird
The first I've met that I enjoy listening to
chirping on about his day
Joys, struggles, hobbies
Everything.
I fall in awe with every excited word he rushes to tell me
I wouldn't have it any other way

My lover can also be a wave
Yes, a crashing wave
And I'd gladly be the boulder waiting by the ocean
Open arms to that crashing wave
Bringing any form of relief to his tide that I can
After all
He is also the still water to my blazing fire

My Beloved is everything
And I would forever make myself whatever he needs
