Foolish Love Poem by Racina Rodriguez

Foolish love
Is what I have
We touch clumsily
We blush
And
Look the other way
He brushes his hand against my hazel hair
But then pulls away blushing
But that does not matter
Nor does it matter that he is not rich
His touch is like magic
A wave of his hand
And I am under his spell
We are like
A herd of wild horses
Two streams
Running into each other smoothly
This means the world to me
Whenever I feel unsure
Uncomfortable
Weird
Or
Uncertain
Of his love for me
He tells me so
In a loud shout
When in the bustle of the markets
Or even in a
Soft
Whisper
In the theater
His voice sounds
Like a soft breeze
The whistle of a humming bird
When I hear these words
A fountain of happiness
Bursts within me
Its water refreshes me
Today we were bound together
Thank the lord my god
At the altar
He said
Not only to me
My family
And
His family
But to the whole world
To the blue roaring sea
That could not drown his love for me
For it is un-dying
To the rich nobles
Who try to buy what we have
But do not prevail
For it is priceless
Though we basked in bright suns rays
I could only feel his warm eyes on me
Though people laugh at us
We only laugh at the world
At its foolishness
And its juvenile ways
When we have hard times
We hold each other
He says
“I will love her through death. No devil will pull me away from her”
When he says this
His smile seems like heaven opening to us
Shinning down
He holds me close
Away from any trouble
He never flinches when he makes the vow
I will never doubt him
Again…
