“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
