A Love Poem to You

by michaelcahill

Yes, oh yes ... at first, I do admit your hair I imagined      as the night--             enveloping me   and eyes like a predator cat        peering from the forest               with me the prey   would you drown me                 or suffocate I would suffer both          if luck were mine           delirium and sense are unacquainted in most realms     "to death"        isn't considered           in its consequence               at times like these   perhaps when sense prevails      and time finds a breath          separate ways might converge your road and my path         rocky and needing the balance                          of clasped hands   one heartbeat reassures the loneliness                 of another and rhythm invokes                    a dance   love has no fear             of the dark it glows with eyes closed it is passion roaring               or whispering sighs but it never dies           when there are                    poems to write
