Love Poem
      By JoHannah P. Green

Every word I write
flows from the wellspring
of my love for you.
I cannot help myself.
Every thought,
every breath,
comes into being
because you smile.
My joy is wound around
your laughter.
My happiness is
fed by the light in your eyes.
It is so absurd
to have my heart
completely conquered
by such a little person.
So silly.
Twelve pounds of
wonderful
have transformed my desert heart
into the Gardens of Paradise.
What magic your tiny feet
have wrought,
kicking down the prison of
my loneliness.
