"our love"~august 12, 2008

poem I didnt write

Current mood:loved

one of my most favorite poems of all time...

"Never believe I leave you

From any desire to go.

Never believe I live so far away

Except from necessity.

After a whole day of separation

Still your dark fragrance clings to my skin.

I carry your letter everywhere.

The sash of your dress wraps twice around my waist.

I wish it bound the two of us together.


Do you know that we both conceal our love

Because of prior sorrow, superstitious fear?

We are two citizens of a savage era

Schooled in disguises and in self-command,

Hiding our aromatic, vulnerable love."
