I worry that my eagerness might scare you away
that I’ll jinx us by believing in a future so blindly
or play the fool once again, falling alone
ignoring any rough waters saying I should have known
better by now, but I’m willing to make a deal.
I’ll be a fool for you if you’ll be the same for me
Trust in me, and us, to expose every depth of you.
Swim in me and my waves of acceptance will gently carry you.
I will let your light explore every darkness I fear lurks within me.
I’ll be home to you and you’ll be home to me.

it’s on the last four sentences where this really goes deep. I like the way you put together words which emphasise the lighthouse. Light, explore, darkness, waves. I really do like this.
I was wondering if the metaphor would get corny or like I was forcing I️t to work but I actually enjoyed the light sprinkle of lighthouse related words. Thank you!
Not at all, it’s very light and gently woven in to the words. It’s actually quite incredible.
This is pure loving insight and the metaphor works. Xx
Thanks so much! I’m glad the metaphor is noticeable without being too cliche
Mind blowing poetry!
