Being in love does funny things.
Now that I am in love
I am no longer just the same me that I have been,
Now I am the Lord of Time
Possessing the earth
And everything that lives upon it -
Mine to do with, as I will.

I used to scribble words,
Stringing together ideas,
In hopes of unearthing truth.
Now I am liquid light,
The poems in my notebooks
Become fields of mimosa,
Glistening with dew.

Before love, I spoke with my mouth.
Yet now, water gushes forth from my fingers,
Grass grows upon my tongue,
I encompass all that will be,
And all that is
Wishes to be me.

Since I love as I do,
All the trees run barefoot to me.
