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!
