                     Like a devoted lover clings to time,
                     with love as precious as bold trades of youth,
                     my love, made sure by answers divine,
                     deals with the mercy from the warmth of you.
                     For when I'm heedless, loved, or stained, or clean,
                     Or searching for my faults, or none, or more,
                     Regardless of the flight of past scenes    
                     I give my heart invested in your worth.
                     So since I am not dead, sick, nor denied
                     Such is this virtue where my substance is,
                     Might I then cry indebted while alive
                     to be a part of your uncommon gift.
                     So what is left, is left for you to see
                     This love I live, much more for you than me.

The role of poetry is to utter the un-utterable; to open up
spaces of consciousness and resistance; to language oppressions; to
re-language historie

Ethome

a love poem, so sweet and selfless, warmed my heart, while making me sad.  Beautifully expressed piece of feeling.  You write so well in many different forms.  If I say, more please, will you post another?

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown
