Love Poem

Through blood moons
And comets that disquiet
Meteors that threaten
To rend the planet
With their heavy showers

Through acid fields
And wrenching violence
Enough to make the earth embarrassed
At giving birth

Through baseless hatred
That inflames without healing
I come to you and look in your eyes
Rejecting the meaningless scorn
That surrounds us like poison

I see your weary smile
And hold your face in my hands

Who is it that is so close
Hovering by your ear
Whispering words that
Startle you with truth?
The unimaginable is
But a breath away
