Love Enough

Love can make your heart beat fast
it can tease and taunt 
 your thoughts and dreams to wild desire
it can make your stomach ache 
 and your armpits sweat with fire
it can warm your body 
 and take away your every breath
it can make you jealous, 
 a green obsessed with envy's test
it can burn your soul 
 with a wanting force of touch and lust
it can change all feelings
 and emotion from me and you to us
it's that touch, 
 that unintended spark
tell me again, 
 and still, 
I won't believe 
 that  sometimes love is not enough,
when you're in love
 love is enough.







Silent One contest, Sometimes love is not enough
