I love you out in the open

This love lays secure 

In the open arms of truth..

Of youth

Of years

To come

I am undone

And reborn in them

I love you 

fiercely

like waves that wash away 

the darkest days 

I love you 

in the most honest eager way 

and it is fate 

despite the things they say 

I love you 

and it's not a curse 

or worse...a choice

it is the morning that I wake to everyday

that I would never want to escape

it is my voice

hoarse after hours of calling your name

it is part of me undeniably 

rushing lovely through my veins 

you and this love 

are mine and they 

are not part of this 

have no heart for it 

they know nothing so much as the lies that they 

harbor with 

every single breath that says that we 

that me and you and this love go against nature 

but I love you 

out in the open 

under the naked elements that we were born from 

inside the sacred tenements that shield the scorn of 

bitter broken biting words 

I love you 

always in the sun that warms our hurts 

under the moon that soothes our nerves 

deep down even 

into the earth that greets our sleep long after our birth 

I love you 

in the most natural of ways 

with the same heart 

that beats the same blood that feels the same pain 

I love you out in the open always 

and that will never change
