Beloved

 

He was calm
Calm as the ocean breeze,
Calm like the sea.

Home wasn’t just a place built of bricks,
Nor simply a place to sleep.
Home was a smile that lit the earth,
And a heart that only beat for her.

He spoke to her in a language
No one else could understand
Only her.

Their chemistry surpassed Romeo and Juliet.
They felt each other’s energy.
His love for her ran deeply.
“My beloved,” he would call her.

And now she wears those words
As an anchor near her heart.

 A bond that time cannot tear apart.”
