Poem on Love - Blackout Poetry Notes

Love Me

I wish you would say
you love me.

Open your mind
to the process of attraction
and commit to
happiness.

She was the sort
to fall for
people who ran away.
Love is
a variable so wild
it can feel like breathing
or dying.

You bewitched me.
You're making my heart
pound freely,
about to explode.

Love
with a promise
and be
wild with joy.

I rather think
there is
something special
about you.

She loved
as if thousands of roots
had grown
quietly,
in the tangle of bonds
so intimate and
curiously invading.

To be married:
this intimacy was deeper,
more personal and
so necessary.

Sex and a cocktail:
the effect
amounted to one of
curious love.

My heart appeared
in a savage ferocity
and the affections unalterably,
all his.
