Love is: Gentler Than a Prune

A love poem

Love is: Gentler Than a Prune

I conceived thoughts of you under the moon,

Even a promise is poison ivy;

Settling is gentler than a prune,

Your eyes a garden, the thorns are lively.

*

Why love, must you bidden me to search him?

I burn with passion, till you fill my well.

My cheeks they blush, bright pink, until I dim;

The seed you planted to bid me farewell.

*

Now you’re back and my hearts now tender.

I hear you whistling into the wind,

Your cold air upon my legs, I am under,

This spell, and in a moment I am pinned;

*

Against the wall, you go against my will,

Risks, a happy pill I will take until.
