: A Love Poem to You by michaelcahill
Love Poem Poetry Contest contest entry

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
