If

Let not olden days aspire 
All about the you and me 
In wild, wild winter of desire  
Longing and longing to be 
In each other’s warmth

Love is in the air, they say
Oh, with it the minded minds
Vibrantly wish to live and sway  
Embracing between the lines
Speechless faith does harm

Now that we both are in the 
Arms of the great unbeknownst
Never been such our history
Crazy us that we surely own
Yonder mountain of distrust 

Let not this fungus of love
Overwinter in dead leaves of the
Verdant tree of such belove
Entrapping souls to live in the
Same old alleys of our lust

Love is in the air, they say
Ah, with thoughts and dreams
If ego did not part our ways
Love, would it be so deem
Irresistible like us of yesterday

What more could I ask for today? It is a beautiful day the sun shining and birds singing. I am reading your poetry in which you share a little of yourself maybe without even realizing it you have written from your soul. Thank you for sharing your magnificent poetry with us Ernesto. Love, Carol
