Love's Madness Poem by Mari Martin

Oh, sweetness of life
how come you to find me here
lost in past dreams?
You smiled upon me
even as I closed my eyes
with wishe's tears
dampening my cheeks.

So filled with hope am I
with but a breath of your winds.
Winter blossoms in my heart
where once fields of grass
drifted in the breeze.
The scent of Love
fills my lungs.
I breathe.

Oh sweetness of life
from woman to child
have you brought me.
My eyes are filled with wonder
as I chase the butterflies of joy.
The cotton of my dress dances
as the clouds drifting in the sky.

Upon my soul have you whispered
with springs allure.
Inhale, exhale,
I draw you into my body
as earth absorbs the rains.
My lips are warm with smiles.
My lashes are laden with your pollen
brought to mate with my heart's flower.

Oh sweetness of life
your fragrance intoxicates me.
Drunk on Love am I.
Crazy may I always be
when you fill me.
If I am mad to the world,
then let me drift
in this bliss of sweetness
to wander endlessly
where Love possesses all,
where desire is obsession,
where need is addiction,
where only lovers find peace.
