I thought I knew what love was
An all encompassing pull, an obsession,
Hearts pounding, short of breath,
Then a late night, an emergency.
Love and blinding pain, A cry that pierces
body, heart and soul,
a new creation, a melding, a miracle,
a life, a treasure, a baby.

I have attempted to write this in response to two prompts, Esther Chilton’s Writing Prompt and the Wea’ve Written Weekly. I hope I have done this correctly!
