The Norwegian word for love, Kjærleik is also the title of a beautiful and sober song about love by the Norwegian folkrock band Gåte. I felt it suited this poem after-the-fact


Kjærleik

Long gone harsh words and actions long gone
still haunt me as demons worse than they really were

Your voice
brings me joy

To touch you
soothes me

Your smiling face
heals me

Your love

rather than being riddled with darkness and twisted beauty
is whole, stoic and bright

Let me stay here in your arms always

Beautifully written! I especially love:

To touch you
soothes me


There's so much there in just five words. *applaud*

I love the description of love as "whole, stoic and bright." What a lovely phrase!
