A Love, Part 2

a love so defiant
so powerful
our embrace caused the Hudson River to go up in flames
as the passion inflamed us
out of fear 
I refer to this obnoxious love in the past tense
my past
too intense
prayer lifted me up to you
just with the thought that my plan would ricochet 
your English accent caressed my ears that day
the night 
you became my knight
yet here I am
looking for you
searching
