our family is so small
So fragile
our hearts are so tall
Our lives are so sweet and meaningful
But, do our gestures catapult into the mist of meaninglessness,
Is a last passionate kiss between you and I
Lost to the last chapter of a darkly doomed humanity?
I can’t, I won’t
I refuse and refute it; no,
The meaningful measure that can save all
Can’t mean to undo our gestures to imply
Meaninglessness
Our family is a part of that whole,
That all, like
you and me,
My dear sweet wife,
You said without me
Your existence is meaningless
But really, it was the other way around,
As you are my whole world
And my gestures need you, and we are always meaningful
In a world of senseless
Measures.

hopeful message......
Wonderfully expressed.
Another beautiful heartfelt piece.
This is perfect! Good work! The South Park clip is so sweet. I woulda never though to pair that clip with a poem but it is wonderful!
Great job 😉❤️
The southpark clip made my day. The deep love, the mutually intense devotion. The fear of loss. This poem really moved me. I am thankful to have read this.
