Love Is My Favorite

Love
is my favorite subject
with reams of memories
filling tattered notebooks
albums and frames

that weigh Lighter than air

scribed in paisleys and plaids
hearts and flowers and hugs

and underscored with tears

Love
sits beside me
an invisible companion
holding my hand
helping me write the syllabus

of a diploma learned
in heart
and worn with a golden robe
