the flame is more significant than the candle
the poem is more important than the poet
a deep kiss is more momentous than the lips
my poems and letters and love for you
are greater than the both of us
for . . .
they are the recorded record
where the world will detect
your desirability
my insanity

I would say that love is a healthy kind of insanity, Jerry!

Love this passionate poetic performance.
