The Bureau by Mrs Yolanda Joy Nicholsen

why do I love you when all haste say's 
that I shouldn't first there was rome 
the way the sun danced behind me 
over venice canals then there 
was Kabul the hints 
of the infamous mauve sky catering 
to my thighs I could even see how 
downtown  munich bathed beneath me 
an yet all I could envision is that day 
that way we danced at Langley 
how could our entire surroundings 
become so bleakly crafted 
above ancient tongues desire 
of youthful follies why do I love you 
let me count the ways 
when everything is said
I guess I loved you more 
when I thought you were dead 
somewhere over Arlington road 
meaningful gestures created 
with karma and military orders 
us sailing out to sea a quiet vessel 
wearing my name on the backside of forever

Inspired by my residency in Munich Germany

You are very talented, outstanding write. I am not familiar with this form but once I realized each line was a continual flow I enjoyed it that much more,
