Love

My Love

goes unrequited

can no longer fight it

seem to always invite it.

I’m true love’s

denier

I’m the seeker

the hider

the driver

the die or rider.

I’m Love’s outsider

its observer

its silver platter server

its quiet unnerver

dedicated to serve Her,

Love.

Romantic

to the nth.

A lifetime well spent

a maddening descent

universal recompense;

Love.

Keeps me afloat

grips me

by the throat

a Lovers deep stroke

soft moans emote

tears oft evoked;

Love.

a Love bespoke and

a Love pre-broken

a Love not chosen

a Love unknown and

a Love full grown and

a Love trauma sown.

deep felt

when I’m alone

too raw

to be shown

an undercurrent in tome;

Love.

An action,

deep

muscle

spastic,

feels cardiac attack-ish;

Love.

Erratic,

Evading

all logic,

tum-tum

butterfly sick;

Love.

Hand holds nostalgic;

Love.

enraptured,

literary haphazard

sentiment uncaptured.

, Love.
