Beloved, you are foolish
I know this to be so
Because last night
When I said I love you
...
Stop
No, stop-
Darling don't you know
I had resolved not to love you?
...
Oh, baby
Don't let me go too fast
Pull me back into your arms,
Darling, I'm

As I grow older
And taller
The world is so much smaller
And spins so much faster

they/them - nonbinary - bi I've been interested in writing and art from a young age; you could say it runs in my family. I am currently working on getting a book of poetry published. My inspiration is drawn from personal experience, those I love, the world around me, and nature (and also other writers, of course) .)
Foolish
Beloved, you are foolish
I know this to be so
Because last night
When I said I love you
You said you love me more
More?
Darling, is such a thing possible?
I love you
Like the ocean loves the moon
You keep me in motion as you
Fly solitary from afar
I love you like a bee loves a flower
I drink deep of you
If I could, I'd drown myself in you
I love you like a candle loves its flame
You burn me from the inside out
But, oh, I'd rather be burned
Than be without you
You say you love me more
But I would tear down empires
In your name
I know I am no better than Menalaus
I would have stormed the gates of Troy
Dearest, you cannot love me more
You cannot love me more
