Guarded Poem by Alejandro Torres

Tell me, Love
Honestly now
That’s simply the nature
Of this fool
So bear with me please
Answer me this
Did you think
I could stop this soul
From beating
To the rhythm
Of your heart?
Have I been that guarded
That you would think
That I could attempt it?
Child of the Goddess
In your Pagan heart
You hold my being
There are times
When the purity in your eyes
Makes me want to cry
But with your heart
I know no victory
Til the end of my days
I may never know your kiss
But if I were to dye tomorrow
Or a lifetime from now
The only thing I would hope for
Is a feeling of love for you
Every time think of me
Til your last breath
So you’d know
A fool can love
Completely
