Someone asked for a love poem. Here's one:
MY LOVE FOR HER IS FIRE
my love for her is fire
ignited by the hot coals of her eyes
my love for her is pure
inspired by the flow and dance of her elegant hands
my love for her is raw
sparked by the way she sashays down long corridors
chin high, skirt swaying, cardigan loose, beads flashing
my love for her sends me down strange hallways
through unfamiliar doorways
at odd times and all times
it has become the master of my footsteps
and my will: surrendered
and my routine: shattered
and my heart: ablaze
today in auburn, gold and yellow
she is burnished, beautiful, in her power
and in her presence
I am transfixed and gangling
she has no idea
seeing only a fool, not a suitor
yet
my love for her is keen
an impossibly sharp arrow, a contained focused storm
an infinitely directed beam of pinpoint intensity
ready to find its mark
