“I refuse the definitions of love
in dictionaries and philosophy,
for today I know love.
I had sought you for years,
but find that you were always the seeker
and I the sought.
I suddenly appeared
reverent before you
to bear witness to your beauty,
to dance in your silky attention,
but you were always my wild destiny,
my heart’s pilgrimage—
the meeting place of all my joy
and self-forgetting.
When I first loved you,
life for me had just begun.
I look forward to so much with you—
our togetherness in a world of wounds,
our children awaiting birth.
I look forward to so much life with you,
and yet, I am perfectly content
with this moment here.
It matters not to me if I die
before finishing this poem,
for today I know love.
For today,
I am free.”Kamand Kojouri
