If Love Took Me
IF love took me
take me my love
when breathing is
you breathing with me
and life is at
it's most loving.
And nighttime:
my hand upon your
breast keeps time
as an arm of the hour
stealing moments
within our dark.
As jaws of Cupid open
my priest of pain
begins to sing:
"Ruby heart, padlocks
and all, deployed by
angels smiling
thunderbolt-lust;
and i, too frail."
Drowning in wishing-
like sea swells
like if love took me
take me my love
across the night
into the dews, and the
'give me everything
i wish/give me everything
i love/where life is at
it's most loving.
