Love …fire and ice

a poem

img created by author on Paint

Come to me even if I don’t call
Or avoid me until I need you no more
Contain me in the fire and ice of love
My cold heart warmed by your seduction
Fall freely to swallow me up the most
When all is lost and everything costs
To catch me freely
And break my fall like a quest

If concurrent supplication be
I bend in front of you on one knee
On a chance encounter while singing
In the middle of the rowdy scene, I flounder
Listen to me in summons in front of the crowd
Now obediently posed, I sing your song
Naked to you, I raise my toast
And bet everything to much disgust

And as if all the order had broken out
Such a thing you might need the most
Still cast me asunder and break me by its fall
And land me in a sea of detriment, a villain
Don’t look for me but let me be ruined
Castaway on this sacred shore you command
And like brave Odysseus I’ll get up another day
Never broken in the search for the soul I gave ‘way
