By night at twelve,
You'll hear the cricket bleat.
Go dance the song of Death.
But remember to count your breath.
I love the rush of blood
Whenever you're around.
Stay close
And touch me.
You've awaken my senses.
Dream of a highway man can't be burned
Nor it can be torn
It only floats in the air
Neither he can catch it.
September
Autumn falls
Leaves are gone
The raven had come
This is ME.
This is YOU.
And even in a poem,
Still separated
By the words and spaces in between.
Maybe if I'll touch you
The way the summer sun kisses the daisy
*You will love me.
Ehl
I am here. I am everywhere.

Every place you’ve been, I have waited.

Every face you’ve seen I have worn.

I have one name but thousands.

On your birth I am your twin.

At your death I shall be your shadow.

In a mother’s womb I have slept.

In a hero’s cry I have risen.

In the smile of a bride I took pride.

In a widow’s tears I am crushed.

I am the pledge of a groom.

I am the passion left by the dead.

I am the spark in every kiss,

The eternal flame of every vow .

Fourteenth of February I was born.

I am the spell in cupid’s arrow.

In the eyes of Aphrodite I am found.

Red as cherry I have been drawn.

I have no age. No gender.

I linger in your heart or perhaps in your mind.

‘Til eternity I shall live.

I am your hidden desire for others.

I am their hidden desire for you.

I am not LUST.

LUST is a friend and sometimes a foe.

TRUST is my companion. LIE destroys me.

BETRAYAL is my enemy.

TEMPTATION will lead you to another path.

Do not follow. You won’t see me there.

Don’t either find me. I WILL FIND YOU.

TIME is my deliverer. Be patient.

I have one name but thousands.

But you, you may call me

LOVE

And I’m pleased to love you.
