Poem on Love - Blackout Poetry Notes

Protect

A desire to protect
is love.

She shut her eyes,
drowning in desire. This was
beyond compare and she found only
a fleeting glimpse
of alarm.

You were in love
with love,
but not me.

How brave
I think you are
to be in love.

I persuaded myself that he
had somehow
hypnotized me.
I found myself staring
at the slight smile
on his face.

Her face
held the promise
of heaven.

To be free and easy
is beautiful,
I have a supreme belief
in love
and in life.

A dizzying sense
a feeling so strong,
so unknown, to simply name it:
attraction.

I want
to show you
what love is.

Filled with joyous abandon,
he whispered her name
and she felt
every emotion all at once.
