July Sonnet #7

I do not claim to idolize your soul,
In fact, that which drives all my tenderness,
Is to have met a human, human whole,
Who’s made mistakes, and feels a true distress
That every human being some way holds;
That tempers at the world as I do too,
That may stay low or may be uncontrolled,
Ah yes, I love a human through and through!
Not one who breathes out shimmering perfection,
But one who breathes in air that she requires,
Who learns in life and holds a firm connection
To all the passioned things that she desires.
As I am naught but one other human,
I love a human all the ways I can.
