My Love For Thee Poem by Paul Buttigieg

Love be the food
Slip the breach of dissention
An idiot a fool to wonder
Of any other intention

Perchance, love against me
O’er hot coals I do go
Light through yonder window
Love thee more I know

Thou hast loved others
Doth it preclude me
Sweet hours from reconciliation
I raised my heart to thee

More things hasten my love
Thou art my heart and soul
Why wouldst thou be not for me
Departure should take its toll

Unto this broken heart
Fear of our summers demise
Wish thee never more to hope
Our love again should rise
