Matchmaker

Matchmaker

by Elizabeth Challinor

Trust me

I'm your matchmaker

Matching out of the box

I match

Feelings with words

Words with each other

Always on time to capture

The moment

They don't always rhyme

Or make logical sense

Whether opposites attract

Vibrate together

Or clash

I'm here to make that perfect match

Seize the inexpressible

Squeeze oranges and lemons

Ring the bells of St Clements

Toast with champagne

Fill a mug

Unashamedly with the mundane

Celebrate

Grieve

Ponder

Relieve words of the need

To justify feelings

Trickles

Tsunamis

Itches

Regrets

Be they far or near

I'll make a match

Between your greatest dream

And your tiniest fear

When you see them together

You'll know

Time to let go

Give up

Laugh and embrace

The space life has offered you

And all I ask for in return

Is a little brittle stick

Of chocolate

Remember them?

All I ask is that you

Become matchmakers too

Let's rock this world together!
