PolyLove - An Ode to Our Rainbow Tree
pol·y·am·o·ry/ˌpälēˈamərē/ (noun) the practice of engaging in multiple romantic relationships, with the consent of all the people involved.
PolyLove.
The name given to our tree
This relationship stems from many roots
It branches off in many directions
But the bark of our tree
Shines bright enough to emanate rainbows
Nourishing tears
enveloped the progress
of adept words
and fertilized the safety of our emotions
Together we grow
Our tree bears many fruit
Fluctuations in
Size
Colour
Age
And life.
Amidst a forest of pear trees,
Our centerfold to inclusivity
May strike as majestic
Even so...
The love for our unison
Grows with the harmony of our leaves
And our fruits remain healthy.
Raspberry is sweet.
She hides amongst insecurities
Through fortifying your own confidence
Her love holds no bounds
Plum is cute.
Evidently quiet
But quick to set off a brigade of words
Once speaking about her excitements
Fig is moody.
Consistency in efforts of empathy
He struggles to acclimate to his emotions
Forever tending to everyone else first
Avocado is healthy
They mediate conflict
Help our tree grow to fruition
And remembers to take time for themselves.
Together we grow
Luminescence from hues of different fruit
Can be admired amongst all watch points.
We are a spectacle of teamwork
An abundance of love
A tribute to each other
And a mark on the world.
Good morning
Welcome to the forest
I'd like to introduce you to my
Rainbow tree.
