equanimity (noun)

equanimity (noun)

mental calmness, composure, evenness of temper

ironic i'm sure

poems have been written about you before,

i know but i swore

this one will be different

creativity is a commitment 

my libra you should know

fingers writing and skin aglow

the words continue to flow

from your mind to pen to paper

you're a born creator

a movie maker

old hollywood glamour,

darling your beauty 

i know, go ahead and shoot me

but you're enigmatic

charismatic,

captivating

and debilitating,

maybe a tad intimidating?

you're a renaissance painting

made of royal colours 

you're warm

and inviting

you're indecisive 

and divisive

acting on impulse and emotion

i pledge my endless devotion

to the libra that started it all

your mind may not be calm

and you may lose your composure

but you're stepping ever closer

to that evenness of temper

maybe blue isn't the warmest colour

but we'll always have eachother

since those evenings spent with your mother

drinking tea amongst roses

and every word I've written is devoted

to those moments

forever in your debt,

and my libra i promise

whether your mind is calm or turbulent 

or if your brain starts an argument

with itself 

i'll remain observant 

there is nowhere else

i'd rather be than by your side

i'm hypnotised

in the best way

and although the summer doesn't want to stay

our friendship will last through these rainy days

you have a pisces moon after all

and you can swim upstream

whatever the future means 

or holds

because truth be told

your words will take you places

you'll fill bookcases

the world has many faces

but by far you have my favourite

my october baby i love you

and i know others to do too

but you'll forever have a space in my heart

you've been there since the very start
