Arrogance was never my strong suit and in your faults I too often found my merits- a prowess in the language of love is all I possess. How finely tuned your perception to the material an advocate of the inanimate- inanimate but enticingly intrinsic; leaving untouched and greying the sentimental that which makes us human, that which separates us from the mammalian desires. Fundamentally, you breathe, and essentially, you reason a reliance on the religion of matter. How then can I allow such close encounter the warmth of a kiss, breath irrevocably tracing a name on my stomach; me, the visionary, poet, idealist. How then can I allow my muse to love you so that she spills her blood in an ageless repetition of your grace, faults, beauty? To say that I would die for you is simply not enough. |

Enjoyed...a friend of mine was telling me on the phone last night that his girlfriend said something similar to this..."Do you want me to die for you to prove my love." I think that a little extreme...James |

To be honest, that wasn't at all what the poem was about. If that was the impression you got, then I need to rewrite lol. |

This is interesting..... I often find it cool that from poetry many interpretations can arise!!!! Bridgette  "Somewhere, somehow, it should be possible to touch someone and never let go again. To hold someone, not for a moment but forever." Unknown |
