Ph: Love: How I Would Love You Poem by Brian Johnston
Ph: Love: How I Would Love You
As a smoke from dying ember
Softly wafts so gently upward
Let my poem's labored burning
Still have warmth to touch your heart.
Though without a breeze to stir, it
Twists and curls in shapes fantastic,
Draws you into deeper meaning
My soul's shadows would reveal.
Let me give up all controlling
Other than to do you honor
Let me join in Nature's rapture
To which crickets lend their voice.
My song spread like smoke diffusing
Fragrance adding to your pleasure
Hint I'm ever in your orbit
Gravitas that has no choice.
Never block the rays of sunshine
God would cast in your direction,
Petals falling in your pathway,
Not His slightest blessing steal.
Simply let my love in passing
Echo truly what He's given,
Magnify His glow around you,
Content just to play my part.

'Hint I'm ever in your orbit' is meant to suggest that the 'loved one' is always on my mind. And 'gravitas that has no choice' is meant to play off of the word 'orbit' as a moon or comet perhaps orbits a larger body.
