Love Poems

♥ DO NOT LOVE ME YET ♥

Do not love me yet, for I

Am still a slender moon

A scimitar about the heart

Too sharp to touch too soon.

♥

Before I’m touched I need to grow

More full in golden light;

I need to smile upon my earth

And rule some patch of night.

♥

I need to know what roads and fields Lie

in my domain

And dull my brand new ecstasies

With sophomoric pain.

♥

I need the love of some blank boy As

cold and dark as me,

That we might grope in ignorance

And fear of what might be.

♥

And then, when I’m a silver bowl

And know what I can hold,

Then, then, perhaps, we could try love

If you are not too old.

Love Poems

DO YOU WANT ME?

WHAT’S THE MATTER?

♥

Do you want me? What’s the matter?

You’re afraid some door will close?

You want the scent without the rose?

The moans of love without the chatter?

♥

You think our love might be a tomb,

The only exit through my pain?

You’d rather put things off again

To give your fantasies some room?

♥

You think: she’s great, but in a while

I might get bored? Or something better,

Filling out a tighter sweater,

Might flash me a quick come-on smile?

♥

You don’t want to be tied just yet

To just one future, just one kiss?

You think about all you might miss

And hold out for a better bet?

♥

Well, fine! But then why do you haunt

Me like a jackal night and day?

Why, when my interest seems to stray,

Are you so sure of what you want?

♥

Why, when I dare so much as laugh At

some guy’s jokes, you go ballistic, Nasty,

borderline sadistic,

As if somebody touched your stuff?

♥

And yet when I hook on to you,

You will not let yourself be mine,

Take out your fears and draw a line

Between what you and I can do?

♥

But freedom must be mutual,

And it takes two for one embrace.

You can’t both love and freedom chase,

Unless you would adore a fool.
