Love and the Moon

Loving you is salt, just a pinch a waste and

too much will ruin the taste. Remedy this incurable sickness

in my heart with melody. Your teeth are milk and

lips are honey, beneath your smile is the almost fragrance

of a forbidden flower. I don't have the power to

recall your face because I have never forgotten. You alone

are the place where I find my senses. The mind

a prisoner and the heart is a stranger. Love, I

find a day is week while I yearn for your

return. Our passion more tender than a water lily petal

but few will ever truly feel it like you can.

Without anger our love is a fruit unripe and rotten,

and is the sweetest wine, that won't be forgotten, for

when I am with you I am intoxicated. Leave me

stumbling in a daze. I can't be sure if this

is the disease or the cure. I thought I knew

myself but love breaks all bonds. I feel if I've

been shot but it is only the half of me

now within you, and hurts when we are apart. If

the moon could be you I would love it too.
